Hi there,

On one question, you said:

"id tape record some of the things she says to you and then tell her boyfriend..."

The problem with this is that in many places that would land her in jail.

You give great advice, usually, and so I just deleted the answer and am sending you a friendly alert to the potential problem that would cause.

All of the moderators agreed you should not be banned for this is light of your other advice.

Thank you for all you do,

wow, i didnt know anyone felt that way im sorry. i wish someone would have told me sooner.

I also didnt know that tape recording someone and innocently telling the person thats been cheated on could land you in jail. Its usually not admissible in court and i didnt assume there would be a court case over it. lol.

I thought people here were looking for REAL life answers from other people BASED on what their asking. we are supposed to be totally bias right? and in that post she didnt say she planned on taking anyone to court over it. Its realistically something people would think of AS an option. and as in recording something someone said i meant AUDIO, not illegally recording them visually.

Also if all the other mods feel this way then why havnt they kist contacted me about it and said so? i will gladly discuss anything people might have a problem with anything ive said.

Hi there,

I think something was missed somewhere. The other mods agreed that you should NOT be banned, not that you should. :-)

As for the legal issue, it has nothing to do with court. In my previous state, if you record me (audio) without my consent, and anyone finds out, I call the police, and you go to jail. You do this over a phone line... federal crime.

Why I am the first to contact you, is that the decision is mine, and users aren't typically contacted about such things.

Realistically, it is an option, and if she decided to do so, you should tell her to check her the laws where she lives before doing something that is against the law in as many places as this is. I fully agree the boyfriend should know she is cheating, absolutely, but what if he is blindly in love, and gets her in trouble by sharing what she did with the other woman? Again, jailtime.

This site isn't really meant for discussion. If you have the stats for it, please make yourself a level 1 moderator, and come chat it up in the mod forum. If you want to talk about this with me, the site owner, then please contact me via skype or e-mail. DangerNerd@gmail.com for both.

Thank you.
