@fresno

I totally agree with your argument re liability. There are many statements on this forum that stick it to TPTB. If the community were to take your suggested route, it'd be best to nuke this forum, and start one that's heavily moderated to eliminate inappropriate comments.

As I've written here ad nauseam, I'm not interested in Bitcoin as a better PayPal that would be acceptable to TPTB. I'm interested in Bitcoin as part of net-based monetary systems that could replace government-backed and -controlled fiat currencies. It could serve as "cryptogold", supplementing physical gold etc. In order to play such a role, Bitcoin will need to survive attacks by governments and others with massive resources. It will need allies in the tradecraft communities.

It would be best to do that now before it grows much more.I havent heard satoshi's opinion yet either.

An option to flag/report certain posts or threads and send them to the legal team (if there is such a thing) might be a better option.Just having moderators could lead to political issues.Perhaps those well versed in legal issues could volunteer for the legal team.All items removed should still be available for viewing somewhere to ensure openness.

Everyone here is aware of the implications so it would only be prudent to put something in place.Then if something does happen in future it can be pointed to as evidence that something was done about the issue.Better that than knowing it and doing nothing.Google recently won the youtube case against content owners because they had a process in place for reviewing infringing material.Now that it has been brought up there is no protection to claim ignorance.

Come on, this is like taking the vowels out of the names of G_D. It is what it is regardless of what people say.

You're going to censor the board of references to bitcoin as money? So that later you can point to the fact that you tried to cover up the fact that it's a money? If it isn't a money, then just demonstrate that when you get hauled off. If you can't then showing where you tried to get everyone to hide the fact is not going to mean thing. If anything, you'll get conspiracy charges added. Good grief.
