The law is a bit more complicated than that.
It depends on how far down that rabbit hole that you want to go.
I'm ultimately responsible for this site but I can claim in my defence that I can't have possibly read through nearly one and a half million posts, so we go to the post. If it's a guest post that is breaking the law then if it's something very serious (child abuse etc) the onus on posting it would be attributable to the mod that approved it and they would be deemed liable, not something that's going to happen but that's where the land lies. If a member posts something really bad and I get a phone call then I'll spunk up their joining IP and ISP as well as whatever email they used to join, I've explained this in the data protection thread and several times before. Banning and deletion of the offending content before I take screengrabs would follow.
We manage to stop most of the crap though...
