Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Loads of people seem to think that you can ignore a court summons by simply refuse to take it. Obviously that's not how it works if you know that you have been served that's enough. He would have to prove that he didn't know he had been served which is pretty difficult.

Difficult, yes. Stupid, indeed. How the legal system works? Also true.

If he's been served it will have been documented, the court won't have proceeded with the case if they don't think the person named in the case has been served, so the fact that he didn't turn up to court means he must have been served otherwise they wouldn't have had the trial yet.

the court won't have proceeded with the case if they don't think the person named in the case has been served,

Fun fact, the case did not proceed they're specifically asking for it to.

so the fact that he didn't turn up to court means he must have been served otherwise they wouldn't have had the trial yet.

No, the date proceeds unless the court says otherwise even if it's simply to show up and say they don't have service yet.

Y'all really don't have any civil court experience do you?
