First off, you are in no position to know if anyone on USMB is a pedo or not. The reason for the rule is from the abuse of the word being used falsely for the ever popular character assassination USMB is notorious for.
As another member said, people will believe what they believe. I have opinions about various people here at USMB too that may or may not be accurate. Insults are indeed a blood sport here at USMB and, while some might see using them as a lack of character or education or just immaturity, they are not defamatory. Accusing somebody of a crime punishable by law IS defamatory.

Yeah but simply just calling somebody a pedo and actually filing a false police report about them are two different things.
 
So people that disagree with child porn in libraries are related to the “ Taliban” now huh? Seems you mods don’t mind defamatory language so much after all.
Yep. Advocating murder is kind of the Taliban thing.

Calling them a pedo to their face is one thing. Putting it on a public message board for the world to see is quite something different which is why you see so many defamation suits filed by people unfairly and unjustly and inaccurately smeared by media or people using public forums. Maybe the person is a pedo and you have good reason to believe that. But without proof positive, we have no business engaging in libel/slander/defamation here and think we are righteous. Definitely report the person privately with whatever information you have and then let whomever the law enforcers are in that case deal with it.

We should not be accusing each other of crimes on a public message board.
 
Under NO circumstances are forum members allowed to call and/or accuse another member of being a child groomer.

If someone on this forum is suspected of being a groomer or pedophile, DM the mods and tell us why you suspect it and give us the evidence. We will look into it and notify the proper authorities.

This "ruling" applies to member-on-member usage. Posting threads about legit news and events concerning child grooming IS allowed. When posting replies in those threads, keep the personal attacks OUT - absolutely NO accusations towards members of this forum that can be construed as calling them a groomer or pedophile. You can and should question members on their views if you do not agree with them or do not understand them. You are NOT allowed to call them a groomer or imply that they are a groomer.
Democrats like to refer to Republicans as racists with absolutely no evidence, which seems quite unfair as well. What are you going to do about that, just wondering?
I suspect nothing and banning free speech via the fascist left wing free speech monitors for only the conservative point of view however unfair only diminishes the USMB and the 1st Amendment in my opinion.
 
Accusation of a crime?

What crime? Being a groomer is not only currently illegal, it’s the norm for curriculum and other public policy in many jurisdictions. It would be great if these school employees were frogmarched out in handcuffs but that is not the case.

So you're defending the creeps too then? SMH.
