I find this approach to be interesting (and distressing), since attempting to hold a whole website responsible for the content posted would severely inconvenience all the users and operators through enforcement of the owners' self-censorship.
However, holding authors responsible for the content which they post also has the downside of producing chilling effects against the wider community of users, especially if certain "poison" content is injected by a user.
So both approaches suck./div>
