But, Paul, if "moderate" means not posting, i.e., not allowing the post to be on the board to begin with, then no responsibility is taken on by the proprietor.
No website operator is forced to leave posted messages if he does not choose to. Of course, in so doing he creates a tone for the site that may lessen its appeal.
There are many boards that do this. Most of the boards on fine watches, for example, state very firmly that certain types of posts simply are not allowed.
And, many do not allow "objectionable" photos.
