An example?

If I believe something to be a libel I would hardly repeat it. Would you?

In addition to what are facts, libel and defamation laws also have a number of built-in protections for free speech, such as honestly held opinion and public interest considerations. Perhaps posters should actually try and get an understanding of the law before accusing people of breaking it.

Why are you defending Nige?  I am sure, if he didn't say these things, he is a big boy and will take action.  His mate Don can give him advice.

If you have an issue with what people post, you can complain to Admin direct.

You can quote something someone else has said and add “this is libellous”. I genuinely would love to know what you’re thinking.

I'm not, I'm defending this site. Litigious individuals, and it's now a fashion, can make publishers lives horrid. Or do you want the site closed down?

A website operator does have a defence available to them personally, https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2013/26/section/5, against a complaint of a defamation posted by someone else on their website.  They're required to deal with the alleged defamation by acting in accordance  with the regulations  at https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2013/9780111104620/pdfs/ukdsi_9780111104620_en.pdf.

There's an Explanatory Note at the end of the regulations, that provides a  plainer language summary of them.
