Or, sometimes, a decision is wrong on every level, and no amount of 540 degree mental gymnastics can justify censorship and pandering that go against the fundamental philosophy of why crypto emerged in the first place.
In your and apparently @theymos's line of "preemptive" thinking, the forum should be shut down today because you can't predict which criminals will show up here tomorrow or what service / entity USA might decide to sanction next, so better to go home and drink a tall glass of milk...
You are confusing things!
If the authorities adopt the same style of action that they adopted in relation to torrents, yes, the forum would have many problems and so would all those who announced it.
In previous posts, I have already explained what happened to many blogs and forums that simply linked or advertised torrent sites. Note that torrenting is not illegal, but a website that has illegal torrents, the entire website will be harmed. Unfortunately, there were many who were penalized simply because they linked to PirateBay, even if that link was to legal content.
Sometimes, we have to understand how far we can go, to avoid very big problems.
Just like today, it is not allowed to post affiliate links on the forum, it will no longer be allowed to post mix links.
