To answer a few question from a few pages back:

- The posts about the diva in question were not deleted b/c they were found to be untrue.

We are just kind of waiting on a soap journalist to put it out there before we talk about it as fact. LOL.
thanks king i am so glad its not true about this particular actress, i really love her and i would have been in real despair if it had been her...thank you, thank you, and thank heavens its not her.

Alright, it's obvious that the actress in question is Alison Sweeney. Were there posts on any other forums by the "mystery poster" last night? Perhaps at SoapCity or NBC?

Regardless, I'm not going to comment on it. I think we should all research for the facts before coming to any real conclusions, and considering what a huge mess this is, that could take a while...
There was one at Soapcentral, as someone here on DR posted. That post has since been erased.

Kenny, check your PM box in a minute.
Post were deleted yesterday on the SC board and people were chastised by the moderators on the NBC board about making certain people noted rumor or peculation in their post or else they would "get into trouble".

They kill me on those boards. This is all speculation and no one should take anything on these boards as facts as none of us are really in the know. This is similar to guessing if Brittany is pregnant again or if Brad and Angelina had their baby yet. Who knows but we can all play guess what. Get real: there is no harm done to these stars by forum and internet mongers speculating about what goes on behind the scenes. Who is listening to us, NBC heads? I think not since the show would be much better if they did indeed listen to fans.
I got threatened that I would "get in trouble" on the NBC board...when I specifically stated that is was more than likely untrue on my post. It had to do with the blind item...and they weren't having any of it.
NBC is just trying to cover things up. There's nothing wrong with speculating. If speculating was illegal then half of the celeberty magazines would be out of business.
True, there's nothing wrong with speculating. And true, those magazines would be out of business.

But also consider this: those magazines also are in constant litigation. And one more thing to consider: if NBC/Sony/Corday have no qualms about going after people posting soap opera video clips or forcing YouTube to pull them down, what makes anyone here think they won't go after someone who threatens a brand like Days our of Lives or said actress? It's about dollars and cents. They have the resources to go after anyone. And they will. The posters here don't need to worry. But there's a reason why the admins of other sites are pulling posts down. They can't afford the legal costs of fighting corporate giants who want to protect their brand.
The key words are in bold.

In law, defamation (also called calumny, libel, slander, and vilification) is the communication of a statement that makes a false claim, expressively stated or implied to be factual , that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image.
While that's true, these cases are routinely thrown out of court. Public figures have different rules, like it or not. It's extremely hard to defame a public figure -- or rather, for them to prove it and win damages. Comparing defamation to NBC's and Sony's attempts to take down YouTube clips are two different things.

Well, it looks like nothing's changed since the last time I checked this thread. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

I think it is hilarious how people on the other boards are commenting about this thread on the DR board.
They can't say certain things on those boards so people are hinting around subjects like, "well I think the speculation on the DR board is dangerous" and "that thread over there is slander and libel". These are not direct quotes but you get my meaning.

That's not what he said.

He said that the posts were deleted, but it's not because they're not true. There was another reason. Sorry for the confusion.

LOL. They may as well stop..... its not like anybody can sue the fans for speculating and throwing names out..... If that was the case I'm sure Brittany Spears would be a billionaire by now with all the crap people talk about her.

It's also funny because they clearly have no concept of mass communications law. Nothing I've seen here would pass muster as slander or libel. (And for their information, on this board, it couldn't be slander; it'd have to be libel, if it were anything.) Once you're a public figure, it's pretty much fair game; that's how Leno and Letterman make their living. Relying on that fact. Listen, though, what I am confused about is all the speculation about the 'diva,' which, it seems, has been outed and I didn't even know about it! What's really funny is how everyone around here is tip-toeing and PMing each other, and those of us not in the know yet are like, 'What? Where was the hint? A 'Days' STAR came to the board? The DIVA HERSELF came to DR to do damage control?' It's all too hard to keep up with!

Yes, Tricky, the posts were deleted, but it was NOT because they were found to be untrue. So they can be/are true. LOL.



es, honestly, we have an "anything goes" policy (as long as you don't attack other members) that other boards do not, but I think they wish they had. So, I am not surprised, we're being attacked on other boards. Fans can speculate and say things here, have freedom of speech that they can't on other boards.

Well, then maybe those folks who are taking issue should register here instead. ;)

No news yet, though Days said they would have something for me (re: comment; they issued a no comment Monday morning at the time), but I hear the WGA would be sending Days a cease and desist letter today. So my hands are tied until someone calls me.

well i am embarrassed sorry king if i misunderstood, i just dont want it to be her not that i would blame her from trying something like that seeing whats been done to her character recently but in my mind its still seems highly unethical behavior, so you are telling me its certain and solid information it was her...oh man... :drunk: :drunk: :drunk: someone put my mind at ease and tell me this is just a rumor and there is no real evidence to believe it was her...

That is what makes this board so great. That and all the inside info we sometimes get. I wonder if we will hear from Nelson soon? This has been a crazy couple of days.

Well some of the things that were said about certain people got a little out of control.
