Mr. Flatbeds Transport Inc - Cheque issue

Gill X and associates are in a totally different group. Affiliated with the infamous Kuldeep Otals group of thieves. DNU for everyone I'm assuming based on the truckloads sorry container loads of proof.
Correct. But I learned all about them on here. Obviously some people who have gotten rooked by them have not used this valuable tool called Inside Transport.
 
As both myself and others have said before, if you receive a negative post from someone on this site, the best response is a well crafted, thoroughly thought out rebuttal, including all the pertinent facts. In my opinion, this carries much more weight and respect than a hastily composed, grammatically incorrect, or worse, a one word post relating some poorly described perceived injustice.

I agree.. a dispassionate account of the facts is far more valuable than a vague statement like.. "they're scammers".. they're assholes" etc..

First, I reached out to the individual who made the accusation privately asking them when the incident occurred. No response.

Once we were denied a load on a Friday due to that individuals accusations, we reached out to the moderators to assist because it has a material impact on our operations.

I think we took a responsible approach. But what processes are there on this forum for companies that are accused of wrong-doing without a process to mediate?
Hi Bobby12364,
I've removed the posting that contained a general statement without detail in the thread you are concerned about.

For all:
This volunteer part time not really working in transport anymore moderator is more than happy to help you out with legit concerns, but if you think anonymous people making general statements without context or detail and who ghost you when confronted are affecting your business you need thicker skin and smarter vendors/customers. I will not dedicate my time to audit every post here and neither should anyone else. Posts from people who say who they are, who post details of their experiences and who respond when questioned carry 10 000 times more weight than 3 word posts from people who hide behind a keyboard. In my opinion.

Keep well and happy Friday!
I need a scotch, oh wait I have some in my office, how convenient... :)

@MikeJr ...
After thinking about this for the weekend, your response in removing the offending post was the correct one, provided the original accusation has been archived.
@Bobby12364 ...
You do have the ability to bring the offender to justice if they have in fact harmed you and/or your business.

For everyone's benefit, there are real world consequences to what you publish online. Just because a person is hiding behind a pseudonym, as is the case with this forum, does not mean they cannot be found, and forced to explain, and/or prove, their statements in a court of law. Here is a basic article on the subject https://www.legalline.ca/legal-answers/defamation-laws-cyber-libel-and-the-internet/ . You can go down this rabbit hole on your own. If you are asking my opinion; It is a worthy journey.
It is, in fact, a relatively simple process to track down a specific person via their online footprint. Everyone has unique electronic identifiers.
 
Hi Mike,

For sure, most things I delete here are simply hidden from public view and are accessible to moderators and Admin.

So people know, and you should: when you post something here and then either delete it yourself or edit it each instance of the edit is stored, kept and accessible to Moderators and Admin unless a Mod or Admin 'permanently deletes' it, which we don't really do.

I may have permanently deleted the posts from a kid that used to work for my previous employer who was intoxicated and wrote a bunch of silly things about me. He was a coke head loser so I didn't see the need to keep the posts around. He can try and sue me if he wants, I never mentioned his name, honestly I don't think I recall it now anyway...

I did have one guy, really angry one come to my place of employment and try to sue me for $500k. He said that my being a volunteer moderator made me accountable for the content on this site. I guess he never went through with his action as after the original paperwork was served to me I never heard from him again. Another loser. It takes all kinds of people to make the world go around I guess. :)

Keep well, and remember what you type online stays online somewhere...

Geeze, I went to proofread my post and think I may be a little hangry, I'd better go home and eat something...

I can very well agree with you, nothing is ever permanently deleted from the internet no matter how much you try. In a business setting, we should be mindful of what we say and think twice before posting. I've seen guys getting sued for making tiktoks against their ex-mega fleet employers. No opinion is worth getting a judgment against you so it is advisable to only state facts you can back up, the courts will not care for speculation.

What that dude said is untrue. As a moderator, unless you specifically ask for it, you cannot control what another person posts. Even if you take it down immediately, and "delete" it from your forum, it is not really deleted. There is a digital copy of everything, somewhere. In that very nanosecond that a person posts something, it is digitally copied, and forever a part of the internet.
(Psst ... that's why they call it a "web" ... LOL)
