Last December we received a document containing many screenshots of guestbook posts. These posts included incorrect accusations and implications of wrongdoings by AFC Wimbledon and Dons Trust officials. These could be considered libellous.

We reviewed this document, and, on reflection, it was decided that the easiest way to proceed was to remove all the posts noted in the document. We also reviewed our moderation process and made changes to ensure there were no further similar incidents and to cut down on the general rudeness that had previously been a side-effect of the open stance taken by the moderators.

Since then we believe that there had been a relative improvement to the tone of the posts on the guestbook, however there have still been a number of occasions where the accusations and implications have again been posted, and although they have been moderated (and bans handed out) there was still a time while they were visible to those persons mentioned.

The guestbook would like to apologise to anyone who has been affected by these posts, in particular Michele Little and Angus Fox. We will also endeavour to moderate any posts of a similar ilk in as timely a manner as possible in future.
