People don’t sue random Internet commentors for libel.
But imagine a form for them exclusively rich people. They have all taken out and Schoenes that will cover lawsuits of indefinite liability. Millions or billions. And if you find anything suitable on anywhere in the form you are guaranteed by the structure of the club that someone will make good to pay it if you win.
That’s the structure that you were arguing for. It’s a strange structure.
But I am not arguing that only the rich can speak. Regular users don’t face any real risk of libel for Internet comments.
The risk would arise for the private club because it has a target on his back: the money is here.
As a reminder the reason regular people couldn’t speak under your proposal is that in normal cases of form would itself be liable for our comments. So it would be uneconomical to run a forum due to the legal risk
