If you’re going to be an Internet marketer, the one thing you have to learn is know when to speak. Sometimes you can say things that can really hurt other people. When you do this, you open yourself up to attack and a possible lawsuits. If you’re wondering what I’m speaking about, don’t worry, I’m going to make this very clear. Hopefully, you will learn something from this.

Just recently at a forum that I attend, a member of the forum publicly stated that another member was a crook. This person said this without any proof of any kind. Now, regardless of whether it is true or not, this is defamation of character. Forum rules forbid people from calling out other members in public. These rules are put into place to protect the other members. A shame some don’t follow them.

If you’re wondering, what could happen to you if you do this, you need to take a good look at the legal system. The defamation of character is a serious offense. Pull this nonsense on somebody with no sense of humor, and you can find yourself taken to court. There are many people out there who have the funds and the patience to do this. The point is, don’t think you can get away with saying anything you want. You can’t. Freedom of speech does not apply to a public forum. At the least you can get your account deleted, and at worst, be sued.

The reason I am warning you of this is because I don’t want to see you make a mistake that could hurt your business. There are some very vindictive people out there who all you have to do is look at the wrong way and they’ll take you to court. So please be careful. I’m telling you this to protect you from making some very serious mistakes.

If you have any doubts about the forum rules, read them. They are posted at the top of every forum. There is no excuse for not knowing the rules.

Take this as a fair warning.

To YOUR Success,

Steven Wagenheim
