The moderators did not take down the TNT thread, I locked it and moved it after archiving the post due to a notice of legal action being taken regarding the content of the post. The moderators do a great service allowing SLAP to exist, because if I had to moderate every reported post/topic as well as browse the site 24/7 looking for violations I would not be able to keep SLAP up and running. The rules are in place as an enforcement tool, providing guidelines for people to follow. Enforcement of those rules are at the discretion of the moderators, if you guys want me to enforce and list every rule I will, but this place will die. As to why the moderators are who they are, they are long time members of the SLAP community, who have proven an understanding of the type of community SLAP is as well as a willingness to assist in it's maintenance.
I understand you probably can’t disclose specifics, but is the legal matter in regards to a word that rhymes with “bible”?
There's no fucking way they could get in trouble for libel simply for allowing people to publish things which some claim aren't true, expecially in a case of one person's word vs. another's situation. If that were the case Facebook and Twitter would be long fucking gone.
I'm calling bullshit on the legal issue claim. Slap=High Speed=Deluxe.
Tony Trujillo drunkenly beat a woman up in front of his kids, and the slap mob was coming for him. That put the Deluxe pigs in a weird place- they could either do the morally correct thing, and fire that scumbag that represents their brands, or the profitable thing, try to kill the rumor. They clearly told Woman Beater Trujillo that he had to go on instagram and apologize for it, but being the completely irredeemable scumbag and arrogant shithead he is, he basically doubled down. Since they are clearly money driven, they let him get away with it and chose profits over morality and are killing the thread.
Admin, a drone for the corporate pigs at deluxe, did his duty and tried to kill the thread to limit their exposure to this. The thing is, admin doesn't really know the culture here, and just started a larger shit storm, because it makes it obvious they want to cover it up, and that they can't really defend their profits over morals approach to business.
This is pretty much completely wrong. This is a moderated form, if alerted to libellous content it is the site owners responsibility to remove it, that is how they avoid being responsible for it.
First, facebook and twitter ARE moderated, so that’s not a difference between the two.
There’s no way they could be liable for libel in a situation where its one person’s primary perspective word against another's primary perspective and nobody who worked for them said a thing.
Either way, Tony Trujillo is a pile of shit who beats women, the people at Deluxe know this, and they continue to sponsor him.
Again, Tony Trujillo is a pile of shit who beats women, the people at deluxe know this, and continue to sponsor him.
Jim Thiebaud has been silent publicly.
Tony acknowledged he was told to apologize, not to the victim, but to the general public, and then didn’t, and at this moment, he still skates for fake ass “punk rocker” Jim Thiebaud’s companies. Can anybody remind me of that one minor threat song about how money is the most important thing there is?
And as far as trucks go? I’ll ride krux or aces or some shit. I may be used to indies, but unlike Jim Thiebaud and the corporate whores at deluxe, some things are more important to me than material possessions, and I actually live that instead of just thinking of it as something that’s just cool to say
