Mountain bike forums are ridiculously over-moderated in my experience. Too many people make complaints about posts, too many don't like it when someone disagrees and rather than having a discussion go crying to moderators, and moderators also have a tendency to love doing things, like editing posts, deleting and locking things as soon as it either goes off at a tangent (here's a hint, conversations do that all the time) or disagrees with someone (in which case discuss it, don't get all petulant like a toddler. I don't know what it is about bike forums in particular that makes it so, I've never noticed it being so pronounced in any other forum other than a few random American ones.
