Good catch. First let me say that "will attempt to" means
we don't promise we can pull it off.

The bigger issue:  There needs to be some tweaking but
basically we want to reserve the right to do whatever we
want (the second sentence) but not actually do whatever we
want in practice. Otoh, we need to preserve the widest
possible context for defense of our actions (second
sentence). Otoh, we want to minimize how much
responsibility we undertake for the content of the posts
(first sentence).

I'm not a lawyer; I only play one on IV. I write contracts
at my paying job and I'm trying to apply as much of what I
think is applicable as I can. We basically want to have
this:

We aren't responsible for anything anyone else does, which
means we don't control the content, and we can do whatever
we want with impunity -- if push comes to shove at some
time in the future, whatever we have done was within our
stated rights.

Could be. Could be.

Imo, the mods have to decide what the forums are by
signing-up to mod them. If there ain't no mod, there ain't
no forum.

Maybe a prospective mod wants to put on something else. 'S'okay.
