Hey Admin and those above. There seems to be a lot of panic amongsth small message boards and forums regarding the Online Safety Act and the implications for owners/moderators from March 25. I'm involved with the running of another sporting forum, and we're trying to unpick the implications for us, and my site owner is even considering closure ... saying that some cycling forums are shutting down.
I have decades of experience with Ofcom compliance, so I'm less worried ... though I think the paperwork initially will be a pain. Do you anticipate problems with these forums? Are CN Forums definitely staying open? Are Mods having to recive additional training? And if so, how is that being managed when they are voluntary users in remote locations? Some discussion would be welcome.
Edit: a link to the risk assessment guidelines.
