This isn't the real world; it's an Internet forum and we go by the rules that have been set out before us.
That is ridiculous.
What I suggest is that people start suing the forum if they realize a loss due to some of the activities here.
How it works is that you sue the whois privacy service (which is in Panama). It is unlikely that company will provide a court defense over a service that costs a couple dollars a year. Most likely they will either divulge the true registrant or simply default.
If the true registrant is identified they will need to provide a defense and identify themselves or they will default. If they identify themselves then you can start identifying the staff and calling them in for depositions. If they default then you can probably get a court order to seize the domain from the .org registrar which is located in the USA. If bicointalk.org were to default you really don't need that solid of a case, you just need a prima fascia case which will be successful if they default. By suing the forum you will put them between a rock and a hard place.
If you think this forum does not matter in the real word, think again. The Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation shot himself in the foot by posting here and Barry Silbert used it against him in court Vessenes has not posted here since:

which basically says that a website with user submitted information (posts) is not considered to be the publisher of such information.
The person who actually posts information (posts a post) is liable (when liability is appropriate) for anything they publish (post).
