We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. It's sometimes not possible to tell in advance which direction a thread will take, and we try to react quickly and fairly when we receive reports of threads. After a while, we had locked that specific thread, since it became a little over the top in its trolling. The post has now been republished, though obviously (as usual) trollish comments (from both sides of the spectrum), have not been published.
2. In respect of what we would do with insider info: what would / could we do with insider info? In part, we might 'use' insider info in order to inform future moderation decisions and to assess the plausibility of other posts, whether there is a concerted trolling campaign going on right now on a subject, or whether there is something real going on.
But if you are implying something more nefarious that we could use with insider trollish comments, do let us know, it might give us ideas :)
Hope that explains it and is acceptable :)
Generally, it might be nice if you also introduce yourself in a very short sentence (while maintaining as much anonymity as you like, of course), and what you think has been most valuable / fun / worth preserving in the LI community and discussions for you.
But perhaps a manual filter that only shows you 'sticky' or 'featured' threads might be something useful?
Most of all, enjoy, hope you can get a game going!
Also sufficient monetisation to pay full-time corporate & law school reporters is not easy...
