Mitch, I'm sorry to hear you feel that way.
If you stuck around long enough, you'd find there have only been a handful of occasions - I can only think of 3, out of more than 4'''' posts - where moderation, other than spam and moving posts to the correct forum, has been necessary.
This is a private forum, and we're all here giving our own time to help users get the best out of Lightroom, and we wish to do so in a positive environment, unlike, as you note in your review, the Adobe forums. The rules are made clear at the outset, and as a result we have a happy friendly community where people aren't afraid to post.
That thread was in the early days of this forum, and the moderation policies have been continually adjusted and matured since that time. Posts are not usually edited (that only happened the once) and you will note that the member who originally posted that thread is still an active member here. I think that fact alone speaks for itself.
