British boxing forum question

[Halfamill]

Why is this the only forum that you have to become a member in order to view it?

It's to do with the British Libel and Defamation laws. If opinions are distributed in the public domain, then the website leaves itself open to litigation.

By insisting you are a member before you can view the forum, it offers some measure of protection, but probably not that much.

There was an incident some time ago where the owner of the site was threatened with legal action over comments posted on here, by one Mr Warren.

Because its sheer awesomeness has been known to blow away unsuspecting readers. You saw the main join up question: 'Tick this box to confirm that you are aware of the awesomeness contained within'. I fyou don't tick the box Teddy007 comes round to your house and tells you to F-ing eff off.

O no not Teddy
