I can't say I'm surprised.
Wikipedia wrote:As with TV Forum and it's Chris Rogers slander incident, Metropol put itself at risk of legal proceedings after nude pictures of an underage forum member were posted by another forum member. A surprisingly large number of members seemed to recognise the pictures to verify that they were true.
Why is there a correlation drawn between a defamation case on another website and the publishing of underage pictures on Metropol? There is nothing to link them, beyond *possible* legal consequences to the site owners.
Similarly, why does Jaron get a mention, beyond the fact he was notably malicious in his deception? Even if you beleived his stories, there were still dozens of more interesting members.
The original message briefly stating how Metropol came about was clear enough. The amendments just turned it into something that could only mean something to the members themselves.

As I said at the beginning, sad people, just SAD people.
If the organisers of Wikwhatsitsname have only the intelligence level that inserts an apostrophe in that position in that phrase, then they can't be worth an awful lot.
They should be "trussed" up and made to read next Saturday's edition of Comment many hundreds of times.

Only on a local disc here at the moment, I'm afraid.
Don't worry, I'll produce some publicity, of which Rod would be proud, once it's up for all to see.

i hadn't read the bit about jaron, it is pretty vulgar (i wonder who wrote it - jaron himself maybe?). although i found his actions and motivies interesting i don't feel he disserves the notoriety he has aquired for his behaviour.

Shameless plugging Nick.
Incidentally, I always thought it was "Mother's Day" on a card, and "Mothers' Day" in a calendar.*

I think we need a Carbuncle Corner wiki so that Nick's mistakes can be corrected.

what i want to know is why somebody keeps removing it and then somebody else keep putting it back... it'll soon be locked for editing and eventually deleted. it's been edited nearly 50 times since it put up on 28th march.
what has the murder she wrote thing got to do with anything? it was funny but it wasn't controversial, and i seem to recall that being posted in the old lounge anyway.
and just why is there a list of top posters on there?
