In terms of the liability of individuals of a collective/cooperative there is none, unless an individual has done something illegal.
Directors and Co-Sec of such entities are responsible for ensuring all compliance (as with any company) so will need to demonstrate they have done what is required. This means that the group running the collective would need to ensure they have the systems in place for moderation, reporting etc.
I was always insured as a director of various entities (D&O insurance)
Effectively were people to step up and take on/share this role they would need to ensure LFGSS has done all needed to comply. So the additional information that comes out in Jan will need looking at and acting on.
Though everything depends on people on here stepping up to take on roles or else, rightly, @Velocio has no choice but to close the forum
