As the only one here who has passed the legal bar exam, I can tell you that it is more detrimental for moderators to ban people who post cp than to be caught rubbing one out to it outright. Several key reasons.
1: Obstruction of justice and conspiracy. Moderators know there's a likeihood they could be considered the liable party for that sort of illegal content. As such they have to sweep it under the rug. Banning and mass deletion is the easiest way to cover your legal tracks. But hey, it's always moderators going on about "their site, their rules". Well than it's your jailtime kiddo.
2: Discrimination. Regardless of the contact in question this doesn't give someone permission to just ignore other laws all together. This would be like I see someone raping a child, and I go and beat a dog with a hammer. What does one have to do with the other? Nothing. So now it's just two felonies. The pedophile AND the moderator. Seems moderators just don't know how to function in human society. Is hotpockets a mental illness?
3: Another debunking of the "their site, their rules" bullcrap: If it is their site, they are now harboring child pornography onto their servers. Which means they own child pornography, which means there's grounds for felony charges or at least sex offender registries. Regardless of how it got there, if you're going to argue this is yours and you can ban people, you're subject to the law surrounding property ownership. That's the life of an adult. Doing it for free won't hold-up in court.
And if moderators want to argue it's not theirs, that the internet is just some vague aparatus, than they have no legal justification and in fact could be charged with harassment, slander, and assault everytime they ban someone. There is no way around this. One way or another moderators are criminals. More criminal than whoever has child porn and proably fucked a child hard.
