I want to complain about a forum before I get a lawyer
This site is the STLToday newspaper forum. I was unfarily booted 2 weeks ago. Now the moderator is letting the other users post libelous posts about me. What can I do. I want to make a formal complaint.

First, don't complain about a totally unrelated forum here, where no one can do anything about it.
Second, email the site admin (once!) and politely ask why you were kicked/banned from the site. You may not agree with the reason, but if you understand it, you can avoid doing it again.
Third, re-read the terms and services. YOU agreed to give them those exact abilities and rights by using their site, and signing up. You have *zero* legal grounds.
In short, suck it up. Online forums can be a humbling experience for many.
