While this is crazy… Hampton University, a small historically black university in southeastern virginia, has banned juicy campus a while ago! Where’s our news story?

The funny thing is, it didn’t get blocked over there until some idiot made a dumb comment about the school’s president. administration caught wind, and then BOOM. the site was banned.

Hampton’s going through a lot of funny things right now… students are trying to figure out why it’s blocked The Weather Channel’s website…

I think Alex likes anonymity, but he should at least disclose his motives as an employee of the juicy campus website or his romantic relationship with matt ivestor. He has a completely misconstrued idea of freedom of speech which is meant to protect individuals from retribution usually involving political speech but only if those individuals are willing to speak publicly revealing their identity. Anonymous individuals are protected already because of their anonymity and are not held accountable for their words or statements. if JC acts as a publisher of these anonymous comments, they need to hold every user liable for any false statements. Matt ivester may have a skewed interpretation of the first amendment with past involvement in the supremacist movement but he was hiding behind a white cloth because he was a coward and feared retribution for his hate speech.

I’m actually a bit surprised that no individuals have brought a lawsuit to the site to at least obtain the identity of the user who created the comments in addition to suing the site for printing the libel. Maybe victims don’t want to bring attention to the slanderous comments. If Jay really is a lawyer for juicycampus he really should know a lot about slander, libel, and defamation or maybe that online jd was bs. If you need a tutorial on defamation lawsuits, I would suggest reading about any lawsuit from Tom Cruise versus the tabloids. The only way I can see juicy campus regulating their site is removing untrue statements and deleting their archives.

Wow, if a website can disrupt education at a university, they might want to think of leveling up on there student recruitment skills. Did they hand out leaflets at in the Jerry Springer audience?

Phil’s got it right, Alex. And you are wrong.

It’s not just about name-calling but the founderboy trying to make a buck off other people’s nastiness towards others. At times, that nastiness includes the type of commentary which many civil law cases find as defamatory. Courts across the country have ruled in civil cases that free speech does not include clearly defamatory comments – be those verbalized or left on some message board on some internet forum like juicycampus.

Let’s be clear and honest about one thing: that website has less to do with the exercise of free speech than it does with the founder trying to line his pockets at the expense and pain of others. Where that expense and pain cross the line into defamation, I hope he pays dearly with the cash he makes from those who blindly and unthinkingly use his website.

There’s an Amazon wishlist for Matthew Ivester with books like “How to make someone like you in 90 seconds” and “Loving Someone Gay”. It seems like he has some personal issues that need to be worked out but he’s trying to ruin other people’s lives.

As a student at TSU, I have to say I am happy about the ban. The website was more of a disturbance to those students who were at school to learn. When you entered the library the computers would be full and all students or entirely to many, would be on JuicyCampus. I agree that TSU needs to take this as an oppurtunity, a huge TEACHABLE MOMENT, to improve the campus social circles. As an English Major, that will graduate with teacher certification as well, TSU has taught me that we must learn from our enviroment and be active in the community to educate those who are not and improve the campus as a whole. This is a huge oppurtunity for organizations and greeks on campus to hold forums and discuss professionaility and business like behavior. The website is disgusting and I do not believe the President of the website and the creators thought about the people who might become victims. Who are you to say that these people deserve or should have to be subject to a free forum for slander. A free open space to discredit someone completely and ruin there name with no fact or proof behind it. Bravo! TSU! I Love TSU! Keep the website blocked! And no, I was not a victim, it was disrupting my education!

Whoever founded this was one of those assholes that sat around bitching about others. Now hopefully this bitch gets banned from everywhere. This is not to do with freedom of speech. It is a platform to bully and bitch, for bullies and bitches.

No idea who the sleaze bag is, but saying that is complete bullshit. It shows the lunacy of trying to demonize the site. You obviously value the anon nature of TC comments, so do i, and you need to shut-the-fuck-up immediately, hypocrite.
