No, it means that Gentoo is accepting responsibility for carrying the
posts. Isn't that why threads advocating certain kinds of clearly
illegal activity (software 'piracy' and hate speech being the most
common, but also threads which contain people's personal information
posted without permission) are deleted or locked?

Remember, unlike the planet, the forums don't advertise their content
as being written "by Gentoo developers".
