So, there are a number of posters, many anonymous on social media who are renowned for their personal attacks on people. How would they be encompassed by the application of the rules -
Thanks, that pretty much clarifies it

It use to be, that by being of course! you have agreed to the rules! back in a day it all that stuff used to be written somewhere in most racebooks! But as usual! one needs to steep back and ask why to they focus on this sort of thing! what is the Kaupapa behind it! In whose interest? At a guess, its to show that they are doing something! The odds of them pacifying a few that they are concerned about is $1.01. for a couple it would be BADGE OF HONNOUR! if they are challenged!!! Odds on it would turn into a shit storm! and the old "Streisand Effect" would kick in! If would fall off the 'racing media' into the main media.... The Streisand effect is a phenomenon where attempts to suppress, censor, or hide information backfire, resulting in the unintentional, widespread publicization of that information, typically via the internet. -
This is exactly the point I am trying to make. The same thing applies to the Rules of Racing which is why I think the proposed rule change won't make any difference. Licenceholders have to adhere to a higher standard via the code of conduct that they have agreed toAbuse (legally) has a meaning. That has a way different threshold to how it is bandied about here. It has to be harmful and persistent to be abuse, not just someone claiming their feelings are hurt. It's thankfully rare in racing social media.
