Unfair selection for redundancy
« on: 17 June 2009, 20:08:47 »
If I wanted to post a request for info about a particular company in relation to members knowledge of any employment disputes/tribunals etc involving that company and to ask them to PM me rather than put replies on open forum - would this be considered a legitimate use of the site? I am helping someone with an unfair selection for redundancy case.

I'm sure it would be a perfectly legitimate use of the site. But I wouldn't hold my breath... ;D ;D

Dunno whether it would be considered legitimate use of the site to be honest (I've repeated info that is freely available on the net and Admin have crapped themselves), but if you want help on disciplinary procedure then feel free to PM me.

No, you misunderstand. He wants legal advice, not Ms. Whiplash's address. ;D

i don't even need legal advice - I would just like to know if there are any other cases involving this company - or similar issues which point to their conduct. I might wait until admin comment

You know thats different, thats discussion about illegal activity. And don't even begin to sprout the bullshit about it being civil, not criminal.

The rules posted in each section are quite simple. Whether or not you, me, A.N.Other agree with them, its one of the few simple rules of the site. I hope thats clear, as you do seem to use any opportunity to bring it up, and I find it tedious.

If its legal, I see no issue.  If it becomes an issue, we may have to mod the thread

There is no law (at this moment in time) against discussing activities that are illegal J, it only becomes a problem when you start providing the means to actually break the law or actively encourage others to do it (but then, you should already know that given how you make your living).

Telling people that the 360/Wii can be hacked doesn't mean s**t because the world and it's mother knows they can be hacked, providing others with the means may be a different ball game altogether though (but even that depends on the hack being used as to whether it's actually illegal or not).

Legality aside there is the moral issue which many consider more important than established laws  :y

When our "cousins" on the other side of the pond get a game 3 months before us, and only pay $20, it's pretty much a forgone conclusion what my reaction will be when you try & charge me £40 after making me wait an extra 3 months for it in the UK ;)

We all know what your reaction will be, and we're not stopping you from doing that. But the rules of this forum are clear. End of discussion.

Yes you can mate, trouble is that certain manufacturers like to dictate just exactly what region games your machine can play....ergo, price fixing in my book.
