Libelous? FC Portland has had 2 coaches arrested in the past few years for child abuse. Fact or fiction? Another coach who used to work for them was arrested for the same while working at Eastside. Fact or fiction?

Where is the libel?

You FC forum monitors might want to know a little more about your club before you shed tears over facts posted here. If your club were a little more involved and monitored their coaches this might not have happened. If you look around this isn't happening at other clubs.

Yes it has, and maybe still is. This type of activity has happened at several clubs in the Portland area over the last 2-3 years. Ever read the newspaper? Or maybe you never learned to read?

I could care less either way but the initial statement could indeed be consider libelous. I would not want to defend it in court if it were me.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to prove libel? Sorry, you're wrong.

I assume you're referring to the "FC hiring pedophiles post". I would have worded that differently but it's no more inflammatory than the character assassination that occurs here daily.

But most clubs don't have forum monitors like FC. LOL

Maybe the moderator would like to provide the IP address of the person making libelous statements about clubs?

Go look at the Alaska forum and open the one thread it will show you that your IP address is logged and all your browser info every time you visit.

The forum moderator certainly knows the IP address of every post. They won't release them to anyone without a warrant. But if you want to go that route...

The fact is this site needs to require logins at least. People are still anonymous but at least posts are identifiable. There is non stop personal attacks and downright lies about people and clubs on this site. Either that or the oregon forum needs to be closed. This is the only one like this.

So what good is it to know the IP address of the local Stabucks?

You also better have security software that locks down all personal info on your computer. IP address, contents of your browser cache,ETC.

Do a search and then come back and see how the advertisements on the top are customized.

If you want to stay anonymous you probably already know all this.

The internet provider also knows the MAC address of your computer, regardless of how you are connected to the internet. They can track you down...

Wow, you sound scary. Very official too. I've just read on here all of the stories about the coaches who were arrested but don't know the history or the facts, just that it occurred. But if FC really is going to go to these lengths to take legal action, they would have to 1) care and 2) know that it is a false accusation. There have been other threads about this on TS over the past couple of years and nothing has happened. So, I think it's pretty safe to say that nothing will happen now. In spite of your scary threats.

thats why these clubs carry such heavy insurance and rely (rest) on the card issuing organization to do the back ground checks.
