In addition to pictures and names (and maybe email), you could
potentially allow the user to associate a link with their pic. At the
end of the link (on thier site) they could putwhatever contact/bio
information they wished... this could alleviate any concern about
culpability.

For example... I provide various bits of info about myself on my
homepage (below), and surely another LEGO website could not be held
accountable for linking to my site (especially with my
explicit/submitted) permission.
