Board Ethics
Just curious how the board feels:
If BP is made aware that someone is blatantly posting false information to sell their service, loans, homes, investment, etc. should BP remove the offending post and possibly offending member if they continue the practice? Keep in mind, the person offering is obviously a paying member of BP but the person looking to possibly do business with that individual may not be.
I guess I am asking if BP has a responsibility to those looking for these services, loans, investments, etc. Or, is BP only responsible for their own financial well being?
Taking this further, could BP ever be financially liable if they continue to allow this type of posting once BP is made aware of the offense?
I should add, this has never happened to me. I'm just curious about such matters in our (not so) new digital age. Feel free to direct me to other threads that might cover this.
