I can post anything I want?
Pretty much. One exception though: you can’t reveal any identifying information. This includes the person’s phone number, exact physical address, email address, driver’s license number or social security number. Be truthful in your posts! Remember, you’re creating a resource for the world.

 

Is there a way I can edit a post after submitting it?
Each time you post, you choose a password to go along with the submission. With this, you can edit your post anytime. Only the person that knows the password is given this privilege.

 

Alright, my roommate is pissed that I posted about him/her. Can I delete the post?
If you have the password for the post, you can go back and just clear out all of the entries in the posting. Our system has spiders that will occasionally crawl through the database and simply comb these newly empty postings out.

 

I forgot my password... Is there any way I can get it back?
Sorry, but no. The goal was to make it so that we kept posters anonymous. If we kept any identifying information about you (and if you needed to retrieve a lost password, that would require some kind of identifying information), that would go against our mission statement. If you wanted to edit a post and lost your password, we suggest simply posting a new roommate submission. In the future, we will add in spiders into our software to search and destroy the older of the resubmissions.

 

Somebody posted information on me that’s completely wrong! What can I do?
Our goal is to create an open forum. We support the first amendment (we’re based out of the USA) and the free speech rights that come with it. With this said, we provide the ability for users to post rebuttals in order to defend themselves, call out their accusers, and correct false statements.

 

I have this great picture of my old roommate. Can I post it onto the website?
Yes, our website allows you to upload one picture of your roommate that has a smaller filesize than 2000 KB. There is freeware out on the internet that lets you easily compress your pictures. No pornography please!

 

I have this great partnership/advertising/press deal I want to propose to your management. How do I contact you?
You can contact us by sending us a message.

 

Is this legal?
Yes assuming certain common-sense guidelines are followed. A poster can legally post based on the truth, opinion, consent, innocent dissemination (claim that defendant had no actual knowledge of the defamatory statement or no reason to believe the statement was defamatory), or statements made in good faith and reasonable belief that they were true.
Generally, to prove libel, five key elements must be present. The plaintiff must prove:
1. that the information was published
2. the defendant is identifiable (recall all posts are anonymous)
3. the remarks were defamatory towards the plaintiff's reputation
4. the published information is false
5. that the defendant is at fault
Courts give the benefit of the doubt to people being tried. The burden of proof is on the accuser.

 

You guys suck! I want to sue you!
Hopefully you’re not reading this one, but we are prepared. We have consulted one of the world’s leading authorities on cyber-libel and free speech law as well as several members in the legal profession. We have also studied several legal cases that establish legal precedence. Basically, we know we are covered.
