Libel

[bandaid]

Who do you complain to when someone makes libelous statements about you continuously even though you have e-mailed the owner of the board who is also an administrator on the board. The person being allowed to make these statements is also an administrator who the owner seems to have no control over. Where do I go to get this stopped.

You can sue if you can prove the statements are injurious to you in some way. You will need an attorney for that. You may also be able to get a restraining order to prevent the statements from continuing. However, you might begin with a strongly worded letter from your attorney to the individual and the website owner which may be enough to stop the harassment.
