Liability regarding posts

Back to the topic.
A couple of questions for the OP.
Is the guy who is planning to sue you a member of your forum?
If he is ban him because he is threatening you and make your forum private so that he can't see any of the posts.
Did you talk to your local police? You could get an intervention order put on him.

I'm having problems from a former member of my forum who was given a temporary ban for fighting, but that ban was made permanent because of the abusive email he sent to the moderators.

Now I'm getting abusive emails from him several times a day.

His main complaint is that forum members had a thread discussing this news article from The Telegraph in the UK
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-in-Chile.html

He complained it wasn't appropriate, and I agree and I removed the thread. However now he's posting me daily threats that since he has a copy of the thread he's going to expose me to unspecified people. But quite what for I don't know, I removed the thread, but of course now he claims I'm 'covering it up'.

I'm pretty sure he hasn't got a leg to stand on, but I wonder what can be done if he's determined to try to drag my name through the mud.

Your best bet is to ignore those kind of people entirely. If he's banned, why even talk to him at all? Block his email address and move on.

I am doing, I haven't sent him any responses at all. I somewhat look forward to his rantings every day at the moment.
