    Default Creating a Website Where People Compain About People They Have Dated

    My question involves defamation in the state of: Illinois

    I've recently considered creating a website, whereby people can develop biographies on individuals they have dated. So, an ex-boyfriend can post the name of an ex-girlfriend, details about her, and give his opinion on his dating experience with her. Furthermore, an ex-girlfriend could do the same.

    Would this cause any legal problems?

    I could foresee that it could lead to libel and defamation of individuals provide false information.

    To the best of my knowledge, the only website that has been made like such has been the website jerk.com.
    However, I've read that there has been legal issues with the website: http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2013/04/29...kids/id=39809/

    As long as people are honest and truthful, why should there be a legal issue?

    I don't know what you are attempting to accomplish by continually spawning threads on the subject. You're dissuading anybody from offering any serious help.

    I've generated multiple threads on a few different legal topics with each topic in a different thread.

    If you create a website for the purpose of harassing your EX she might sue you or file a police report. If you already have a RO or TRO on you you may find yourself spending time in a holding cell.

    Let it go and leave her alone.

    I disagree. A person is well within the realm of freedom of speech. Furthermore, an individual would have to prove ill will. I'm not saying that I would be making a website to harass my ex-girlfriend, however. I do not believe that such a website should be considered harassment of any individuals, as people should be able to state facts and opinions about knowledge of individuals. Although there are prviacy concerns, I do not see if the issue if people are telling the truth.

    Keep on topic, please. This is about creating a social media website, not me developing a website to target an ex-girlfriend of mine. Make as many accusations as you want, and I'll deny them.

    As an aside, as I've increased my legal knowledge since late 2011, I've come to understand that the members on this board are quite terse in whatever legal advice and discussion there is actually to be discussed in relation to a variety of topics. I'm starting to believe that many members are security guards at malls rather than those who involve themselves with the courts. There is a lot of information to be discussed on various topics and threads, and I do not believe the members here are impartial and unbiased. If think if the people here had taken a more active role in law, then there would be various sticked threads discussing various aspects of law knowledge and courses of action people can take. When you tell me to let go of someone having inflicted emotional distress me, having made false allegation of violence (such as killing my supervisors and teachers with a gun, especially when I plan on going to graduate school and seek tenure someday), and that person did things out of malice, I think you are doing an injustice to the legal system. I think you are immoral and corrupt. Let go of your arrogance and start answering some legal questions, asshole.

    Your scare tactics are admirable, but a person more than likely would need to prove that I've broken the RO or TRO, which often discussed that an individual comes into contact with the other individual, physically or virtually. If the person with the RO or TRO comes into contact with me, I can attempt to file for contempt and say that the person is stalking me. If an individual attempts to take legal action against me for freedom of speech, I can countersue. You're so full of it. Nice try on scaring me.

    Since last November you have made numerous threads asking about ways you can get away with harassing your ex.

    There is no reason not to believe your ex- bashing website is in fact meant for you to use to bash your ex, rather than just for other people to bash their ex.
