First, this has nothing to do with this forum.
It seems that some forums allow administrators a lot of power over participants. Some administrators on some sites insist that folks post exactly the way they see fit and are very restrictive and selective, going way beyond the rules of the forum. Some administrator appear to carry a grudge and target some forum users.
I know of an instance where many users of a forum have been targeted and have been forced to leave because of ongoing harassment by moderators and administrators.
Is "posting is a privilege, not a right" a universal truth that can be used to abuse, or restrict the rights of people they do not like personally?
Does it make a difference if the site is open to anyone, just for registering, whether they pay a fee or not?
Are forum administratosr personally liable for their actions? How would one go about filing suit against an individual forum administrator?
Is there a firm that will take a look at this type of action?
