Thank you for all you've done for the forum. All the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Login Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Needless to say I wish John a full and speedy recovery. This must be a very stressful time for him and his friends and whilst I would probably have still posted that I thought threatening life bans for just posting a name or linking to a current story appeared excessive if I had been aware I would have posted in a far less robust manner. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thank you for being such a good moderator. Goog luck. I collapsed just over a year ago. Thought it was curtains but fine now. Leukaemia is one of those which can be beaten. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Stevens Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 12 hours ago, piebaps said: In the event of a trial a jury would have to judge guilt based on the evidence presented to them. They aren't entitled to know of any previous offences. The person who searched and linked to judgements.im and the history of this particlular individual was only linking to information in the pubclic domain, however they were making it easier for more people to see and read about it, without possibly recognising that there are potential consequences if there was an arrest, charge and trial. I do not know about the Isle of Man laws on the subject but certainly in England and Wales there have been cases where juries are told about previous convictions of the defendant if the judge deems it relevant. I was surprised when it happened as I thought non-disclosure to a jury was sacrosanct. I don't think it happens too often but the defendant must be up for trial on something for which they have previously been convicted.

Bellefield Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Ah bugger, sorry to hear about that John, you should be concentrating on getting yourself sorted rather than trying to keep this lot under control. Good luck mate and hope to see you on here when you are feeling up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Cooper FBI Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Best wishes, John. I don't agree with some of the moderator decisions that go on but can't for the life of me comprehend why anyone is making such a big fuss over this particular moderator decision. The subject is completely unimportant and of no consequence except to the parties involved. I don't think there's much worth discussing about it really at this stage. Please do come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
