This is so true. The sheer administrative/legal effort and expense it takes smaller enterprise software vendors to execute a single sale is crazy. I'd happily offer lower prices if the process was easier.

Point a is covered under GDPR. If you have German on your website their courts have jurisdiction. The language is so vague that they will have jurisdiction over all the world when it comes to PI privacy laws.

Typically a ledger should be immutable. That's what retains its auditability. Any fudging/changing should be done through reverse entries that explain why the reversal occurs.

What if the forum had both sides of each argument in parallel? You could contribute to your side and the opposition to their side and the most popular of each side is pushed to the top in a massive split screen?

I agree Postgres is pretty awesome, but I think the one thing it has going against it is a good GUI client. MySQL has way too many good options wherease Postgres is stuck on this front.
