Libel? Defamation? Not sure of the correct term but I think there is a potential risk to the website. Any lawyer's care to comment?

IANAL, but:
- Libel is written defamation . Slander is verbal defamation.
- Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides immunity for internet services (such as Facebook) from defamation claims based on content generated by their users. Unless freeski was the owner (or possibly a mod / agent of the owner), TAY is immune from a defamation lawsuit. TAY certainly isn't obliged to remove potentially libelous content preemptively, and I'm not even sure they're obliged to do so upon request.
