I don't think the relative cost to reddit would be great but good point about mod paranoia. Not sure where the potential liability would lie there as HQ is really in charge. But I have seen "non-sophisticated litigants" (ie. anyone that does not do it for a living), even when the claim was absolutely bullshit, emotionally/psychologically ruined by the prospect of potential liability.

I really prefer a "loser pay" model of litigation cost and I believe the States is the only 1st world country without that rule. In the States anyone can sue anyone for anything and incur no cost if they have a contingency lawyer. The defendants though have to shell out monetarily and emotionally no matter how frivolous the claim.
