Hey, Name Nerd, I looked at your site and it seems like you need to check out a grammar book, specificially the "plural vs. possessive" section.
Oh, and that kid sounds very annoying and very young. I hope his parents give him a well-deserved spanking.0

Something nobody has mentioned yet (or I failed to see so far) is that yes this can go to court. This is again based on the fact that false statements were made, which so far I haven't seen nor know about. There is a little thing called "slander" and if you make false accusations about a person or company, you can be taken to court for it. Sure, freedom of speech is nice but you had better be making sure the statements you make are 100% accurate. Not just 90%, that extra 10% could be all it takes.

That definition is highly oversimplified, just noting.

Okay, here is information from law.freeadvice.com:
WHAT DAMAGES ARE AVAILABLE FOR SLANDER OR LIBEL?
If you have been defamed you may seek both actual damages, to recover the harm that you have suffered, and punitive damages to punish the person who made the remark (and serve as an example to deter others).
If the defamation improperly accused you of a crime or reflected on your profession, the Court or jury can assess the damages. For other types of defamation you must prove some actual damage to be able to recover.

Seriously, though, this is a fascinating thread so far. I, too have read over namenerds posts, and I don't know why they were banned either. I'm sure the mods had a good reason, I just don't know it though. Hmmm, we'll see soon enough...0

Well Im asking for a Mod to close this thread. Obvioulsy this kid is trying to ruin our company but hey whats it matter. He talked some ppl like Globalhost2 and others to follow him but then there are the others that see how we got screwed by a little kid. Oh well the only way we can recover is to just drop this and continue on with our company. Big deal if on these forums some people think were bad news. The only way we will be able to prove we are not is by running a successful company and being loyal.
Also i stated that Josh works for nodehosting earlier but i have talked to some staff at Node and some old firends that still work there and they told me that he doesnt work there and sounds like they are trying at all cost to avoid him and not even speak to him. (i wonder why). So i want to say sorry for accocaiting him with another company because in the process of accocating him i may have caused bad taste towards nodehosting and i dont want to do that.
MODS LOCK THIS THREAD PLEASE!0

LOL. The idea that your company is banned from the forums is already a negative thing, and doesn't say anything good about the company.- Andy

After about 15 call's today regarding this post and the incident's here i have came to one conclusion.
1) all parties involved want nothing todo with JTM22
2) his parent/guardians have been contacted via phone
3) Moderator's and staff in relation to WHT have been contacted for various reasons.
Results: After talking with several associates examing borad rules. it has been found by some of the senior members of WHT. That Name.Nerd has no reason to be banned accirding to current rules and so forth. Greg and Eugene are still trying to get in touch with [Chicken] In Regards to this all.0

Who can hear the shadows of a comment by chicken in ohhhhh about 15 posts that reads something like this.
[notchicken]It's true the host was banned for spamming multiple forums.[/notchicken]
The issue is that another URL is banned here. The current URL is closely associated and this is the reason that both are blocked. That's about all that needs to be discussed on the forum IMHO, and any further questions can be directed to email, as that is a more appropriate place to discuss the issue.0
