However when someone comes on site claiming to know this person and also stating his age, then no longer can there be any slack the ropes have to be reigned in and actions have to be taken to prevent the site itself being prosecuted.
Perhaps the lad would still be posting now had someone not told the whole worldwide web?

As stated earlier, I do feel some guilt.
I tried subtlety, when I started this thread, nearly three months ago, but sadly that failed.
The targeted, snide abuse continued. Right up until the middle of this week.
However, knowing, rather than just claiming that forum rules have been broken, and knowing, now we are informed that apparently blind eyes may have been turned by 'the administration team', didn't someone on here claim this could be the end of Accy Web, if it became public knowlege?
So the member's age was known? I thought we were to take what was posted on a member's profile page, as proof they were an adult, and would be treated as such?
Very confusing.
That smacks of sheer hypocrisy, and a bit of a dodgy one, when it came to lawful procedures being followed, now we've been informed about the legal requirements regarding age.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
In all honesty my main concern isn't this forum. It's the continued targeting of someone who'd never posted anything nasty themselves.
If by stating their age helps stop this happening again, good.
Even though I tried to end this without revealing someone's actual age, trying to protect their privacy, and nothing to do with forum requirements, mainly because I didn't know them, it not being applicable to me on joining, I feel I'm now criticising the running of Accy Web, because of the information Less has posted.
I'm not. I just think it all seems very muddled, about what was, and what wasn't known, and it might have been known, but it might have been decided that it would be ignored.
If I've broken forum rules, then I'm sorry.
If I'm subsequently banned, so be it.
What has happened isn't good.
I tried to do what was needed to end it.
Any sack cloth and ashes comments you can stick up your Khyber.
It happens to be the truth, and I'd do the same things again so this hopefully ceases.
