What agenda do you think the OP is following, and why do you think they'd do so now after their long (~3 decades!) history of running forums? There has been many other pieces of legislation in that time, why now?
I tried to think of an agenda, but I'm struggling to come up with one. I think OP just doesn't want to be sued over a vague piece of legislation, even if it was a battle they could win (after a long fight). Just like they said right there in the post.
It's kind of rude to imply that this is performative when they gave a pretty reasonable explanation.
This is Ofcom, not the ICO; and stuff like "flood the site with child abuse material" (not in your risk assessment, why would it be? this is a public forum about cycling and nobody's ever done that before) and try to get you prosecuted for not having adequate protections in place.

The actual rules are vulnerable to this attack. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50
If you think the attack won't be attempted, you've never been responsible for an internet forum.
Can you explain what you mean by "this attack"?
They'll submit a complaint to the regulator that you've not done a risk assessment?
I've tried submitting issues to the ICO before but didn't have enough for them to go on and so the other company was never contacted.
