I've been approached regarding the legalities of much of the speculation that has filled NSC's pages over the past few days. I fully appreciate that it's only human nature to want to find out what has happened, what is going on and what may ultimately happen hence the thousands of speculative posts that have been made.

However, in doing so you could be:

a) Putting yourself at risk of libel litigation.
b) Putting me at risk of libel litigation.

I want to try and protect those who care about (a) and I have a very real vested interest in (b).

Therefore, I have taken the rather severe approach of removing all new threads from the past 6 days. I will review these threads later today and move back anything that is not contentious.

From now, please use this thread for all discussion relating to Albion staff suspensions and what has been termed 'poo-gate'. This gives the moderating team a greater chance of keeping things appropriate, and removing stuff that is not.

Please try and keep all discussion to known and published facts. If in doubt, please just don't post. Those who show no regard for this polite request will have their posting rights removed to protect both themselves and me.

If you see stuff that you think is borderline, please report it so moderators can review and act where required.

Fair enough, I think we all appreciate that huge amount of effort that @Bozza does to keep this site running - this isn't the first time Bozza has needed to protect himself and others from possible legal action and probably won't be the last.

Thanks, mystical NSC overlord.

Good decision, i think - i'm all or free speech etc but there has to be a line somewhere. I think we'd all rather that than face any consequences.

blimey. It's a sad day when meaningless speculation by a bunch of amateur Columbo's gets swooped on and threatned. As you say Bozza, it's only human nature to speculate.

I understand entirely the need to cover your's and our backs though. Wouldn't want to see anyone getting into trouble. Just seems a bit OTT on the clubs part, and that's a shame.

Just my luck - first time I've been told some 'rumours' from within today - and now we can't post...

Just to add I'm well aware that a number of other sites may well be carrying substantially more litigous speculation than NSC has, but...

a) I can't control them, good luck to the site admins who allow that.
b) There will be more scrutiny on NSC at a time like this than all other sites put together.
c) You're free to be as speculative as you want away from NSC if my rules don't suit you.

Thirdly - this didn't come from the club.

Who said it was anything to do with the club?

So much speculation and counter speculation going on I thought this may happen, in fact N.S.C being closed for so long today, i was fearing worse. Shame it had to be done but glad to see the big board back, cheers for all your hard work Bozza.

I fully understand Bozza is between a rock and a hard place BUT actions like this make two people spring immediately to mind and how they tried to control what fans were saying about the club.
