KCC every little helps

soulsearcher

KCC seem to be going out of their way to ensure people can't complain about the new supermarket in Celbridge. Does anyone know if boards.ie practice the same level of censorship as KCC do on the townsites forum or can we speak freely here about the contempt which Tescos shows it's customers.

It depends - if you stick within the forum charter (which contains the rules - see top of the forum), then you'll find you are ok.

However, if you breach the rules, and/or post things which could lead boards.ie into legal hot water (who, believe it or not can be held responsible for what you publish) then you'll find that the discussion may be curtailed pretty quickly.

I'd imagine, however, that boards.ie would slightly less strict on things as they aren't controlled by any particular body.

Sure fire away and see what happens!!! I'd imagine if you start ripping on Tescos you won't be alone!!! :D

Probably won't be alone but Tescos will probably pull the same stunt here as on the kildare townsites forum

Ah yeah, what ever happened to freedom of speech.

Can you not legally quote someone, as opposed to stating fact.

E.g.:
"A guy told me that 'X' company pay below the hourly rate" is okay.

" 'X' company pay below the hourly rate" is not okay.

People watched to much US TV and assumed it was a principle which applies globally. That's what happened to it

And no, "A guy said to me" isn't much of a defence.

There has to be some way of getting the message accross when every little hinders the shopper instead of helping the shopper. If I wrote a letter of complaint about a shop to a newspaper. Would the newspaper be sued for publishing the letter.

Have you contacted Tesco Ireland and given them suitable time to respond to your complaint/query?

There is a way of doing things that won't cause aggro, whinging on various message boards and being aggressive without actually putting your point accross properly is not it.

Depends what it published.

Anyway this is going way off topic for this forum. Closing
