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.
