That's what's called publishing. You decide what is allowed to be published you are no longer a forum you are a publisher and are therefore responsible for everything published on your website.

If you resign from a job, you can’t get unemployment (in most cases).

Now you know why I never signed up for Facebook or Twitter. Full of insane leftists and the systems are threats to America’s internal security.
