Of course that is a possibility - as it is with every other ISP based forum out there.
Doesn't stop people having a go - just look at Be's forum for proof. I don't hear of people suddenly losing their connection.
Though IIRC PlusNet (before BT) did have such an incident, so it isn't always the ones you think are the worst that are the worst

However if the employee posts on a forum owned and moderated by his or her employer and said something that they did not like, what is to stop them using the information they have from the forum to find out who that person is and reprimand him or her. ?????

Of course that is understandable - but then anyone who works for a company and then slags them off on their own forum does need their head looking at ;)
However I would also point out that up until this month posting anything on web forums and social networking sites was technically against the conditions of employment without pre-vetting from the Press Office.
Now it isn't and we are actually allowed to say who we are, where we work and what we do if we want to - as long as we also make clear than our views are our own. I would assume they would expect a certain level of decorum if you do though! |
