Sisuahlai is banned from INNIT for 2 months

:)

Thanks guys.

Is this article defamatory? How so?

*I have decided to remove the original picture depicting the "evolution of apes" followed by two Nuffnang pictures, and a fade-out image of a cartoon carrying a sack with dollar sign on it because Nuffnang interpreted it as something which I never intended it to portray. (The picture removal is not an admission of guilt, far from it - I will explain why in the next entry!)

**I intend to make public the email sent out to me because it also explains Nuffnang position regarding disclosing their payout structure. It took more than 3 SSL entries before they respond. If I see no objection of me releasing their email content, I will do so in my next entry.

wearing this banned badge proudly!

How does one determine if a post is defamatory?

For me personally, having dealt with a little law enforcement (not in Malaysia though) I don't actually see any accusations if that's the specific post you were banned for.

Secondly, if a legitimate defamation is taking place towards any company and adversely affects the reputation or standing, then the best option for the company is to prove their case with a legal suit. Banning members will only erode the credibility of a company further, if the ban is not backed by facts.

Oh btw, as much as I hold little tolerance towards unethical and dishonest business conducts, we should be mindful of the proposition we are asking for information.

Between a private company and a public listed company, the initial actually has no obligations to go open with their statistics and earnings. The bulk of "trust" consumers (in this case publishers) who use its services will have to rely on public reviews and peer feedbacks to determine if a product/service is worth the time or effort. The judgement is majorly on us.

With a wide selection of reviews available, it will be in your position to gauge how credible the various reviews are. Therefore, I don't reckon that even with a poll, that will make Nuffnang reveal their earnings. It is their Right as a private company to observe confidentiality, not until they are public listed or a charitable organization.

Ed, thanks for your comments. The defamatory content NN was referring to was the original picture posted.

You are right on the disclosure part; Nuffnang belongs to a private company and it has no obligations to go "open".

I am merely asking them to explain certain term (i.e. band) used in their pay-out and how they derive the banding - not the exact payout amount for each ad and who gets what.

I have also inquired how this 70:30 ratio is reached, they can choose not to answer and I'll respect that.

i think a ban is at least better than a law suit at any time given.
