There's nothing libelous about the ad, because:
(i) It isn't asserting any statements -- sentences with truth values -- about anyone; further, it doesn't even contain any personal information. Libelous claims must be about specific individuals, presumably utilizing personal information to do so.
(ii) Even if it were making statements about a specific individual, in the United States, it is incumbent upon said individual to demonstrate that said statements are false -- statements only become libelous upon successful demonstrations of this sort, in addition to the statements meeting certain other criteria (being damaging, being knowingly false).
It's been removed and the decision is final.
I respect your creativity, but this time, it can not stand.
Taylor isn't an IFBB pro or NPC figure. Taylor has nothing to do with the industry, so gossip surrounding Taylor is merely gossip surrounding an ordinary individual.
To openly claim that Taylor has HIV without undeniable proof is libel. Over 3 threads were created whereby multiple members kept stating that he has HIV or AIDS.
The fake ad created insinuated that he was involved in bug chasing, whether or not it had his real name, number or anything else is beyond the fact, since it was in a thread that directly targeted Taylor as being HIV positive.
The decision stands folks.
