Recent events show the legal issues that can arise from posts online. From that article:
We're using this as an opportunity to remind people that there are limits to posts, even in Hell. Posts that appear to encourage illegal activity are not permitted, these will be deleted and a suitable reprimand issued. Hyperbole or anger are not defences. We've not had any posts that fall under this category for a long time, we just want to make sure that we don't have to deal with any posts like that in the future.
