So what does that limit the admins from saying/doing?

This is all conjecture because I don't know the structure of TD, but I don't think it limits the admins from doing anything.
I think it shields TigerDroppings under whatever legal entity Chicken has it (LLC or whatnot) from (in this case) the girl who was the subject of the thread last night suing TigerDroppings as an entity for the stuff that was posted in that thread last night.
That law pretty much makes interactive websites (go to the link and read about the early cases involving AOL) almost a liability-free conduit of information. Meaning the websites are simply the medium by which information is exchanged and the posters or submitters of that information are liable for the content and not the website itself.
Again, this is all in very general terms. That law was passed in the early days of the Internet to shield the big internet companies (think AOL chat rooms) from lawsuits based on what individuals posted.
