No offense man, I appreciate your work and think you contribute much to the adult world, but doesn't that miss the point? Why should gg&j be punished precisely because they put an effort into moderating? I think that if your sites get big enough that moderation becomes a problem, then you have a responsibility to keep track of it, hire more people, do what it takes. Hiding behind an open policy doesn't absolve you from anything, it's having your cake and eating it too, getting free reign to grow while accepting no responsibility. It's still your site, at the end of the day, and it's the flip-side of having user-generated content. You don't have to create the content; the least you could do is watch it!
And pornguy, if you take your point back to the web world, there's no equivalent. The webmaster
is at the top of the chain, no bones about it. Make your users register with their real info and bite the bullet if you want the user to take responsibility. Someone's gotta take it.
