Dave:
Why don't you delegate moderation responsibilities to a couple of members of the forum that are willing to take this on?
Jim
Because once he stars moderating, people who don't like what's said in the posts he doesn't excise can drag him into any legal dispute they might start with the person who wrote the offensive text. The same would apply to people he might delegate as moderators.
B.S: Practically ANY OTHER online forum has moderators and in the 20+ years I've been online I don't know of a single instance of a moderator having legal trouble of any kind. If you know of a case where a moderator was involved in a legal dispute due to moderating point us to it.
A moderators responsibility is to make sure members abide by the rules and insure that within reason a topic starting a thread stays on track.
