Moderators on that site should be safe even if it reaches litigation.  Moderators are seen as volunteers unless those like Justanya had the title "Hostbill Support", even then employees are exempt from prosecution unless they knowingly defrauded customers or caused further damages under the current charges.  Lawrence i believe was/is a moderator there but i don't think it's global.  History has also shown from past litigation over the last decade that moderators on forums have been exonerated.  As such, unless the lawyers have the papers to show they can practice law in Poland, no court would hear it as Hostbill HQ is in Poland and it would have to preside in Poland.  Most any lawyer in any other country can do is submit to their courts and they can be ignored as outside law means nill.

Nothing will ever happen legality wise with Hostbill.  Use WHMCS as an example after the hack & database leak.  Their client base is more then likely 50-500x that of Hostbill and if anyone would have shown any legal action, we'd have seen it. 

Long story short, legally speaking, the most local courts can do is provide a court documents to the courts/police in Poland and the polish police or courts would have to create their own investigation in to the matter under their own law. 

We have seen a few cases locally in Canada to this extent and our courts ignore outside orders and create internal investigations of which go ignored or under a mile of paperwork.

If any SPAMmers get through, they have to pass the initial anti-SPAM factoring as well as their initial first three, 3 factor anti-SPAM authentications. if someone does that they'll be easy to catch and ban anyway since this is a small community.

There's another spam tool being used, but other than that for the most part, no spam should appear on these forums. If it does, you're right about it being caught swiftly!

One thing I might suggest, is that since any of the mods on the publisher's forum are not paid (or otherwise) representatives of that company, and to avoid any possible perception, however remote, of collusion or conflict of interest, they publicly request removal of their mod status for the forums under the hostbillapp.com domain.

I was told by my new attorneys yesterday to make sure I had no official or even implied official relationship or special priviliges with that company in case things get ugly and there is eventual litigation, and if I did, then to sever those relationships immediately.

I understand your concern. I promise you that if something were to happen to HostBill, I wouldn't be affected in any way legally. If you meant participating in a legal suit, I wouldn't want to participate, but that's just me.
