There is no way MobileRead could do so, even if it wanted to. You would need to know where the asker was from, and what the laws were in the asker's jurisdiction. (If you have admin powers on the site, you probably have an option to see the poster's IP address, but that's not an infallible guide: they might be behind a proxy server. And you still have the challenge of knowing what their laws are.)

The one suggestion I would make is a sticky in the forums pointing to the wiki material. I went looking for forum policies regarding this stuff before and didn't find them. It's possible I didn't look hard enough, but it shouldn't require a serious search to determine what those particular policies are.
