That is asinine. The whole point of a moderator is to delete
defamatory and inappropriate posts. If you assume liability by
creating a moderated site and have to pay $11,000 a year to protect
yourself against lawsuits because of it, that is truly idiotic.

What is especially ironic is that the only person who has ever filed a
lawsuit over postings to this group is Joel Channing himself.

By taking out an "Internet insurance policy", Joel Channing has
assured himself that if he sues Sam Sloan over an Internet posting to
the USCF Forums and wins, he will not have to collect from Sam, whom
he keeps saying is judgment proof, because the Internet insurance
policy will pay off.

Pointing this out over on the USCF Forums got me suspended over there
another time.
