I agree there should be some modding on forums but over-modding is no better than under-modding. I wouldn't want this to get like the Ubi forums where the mods act like Nazi Gestapo agents. I think that flaming and insults are the only true problem. If off-topic threads were such a problem in of themselves, then why are they so popular and why so people enjoy them so much? I see people insulting and flaming others as much in on-topic threads as I do off-topic threads. So if I were a mod I'd only go after the trouble makers. An occasional off-topic thread is harmless and oftentimes refreshing. Now the topics on disallowed hacking and modding are not necessary and the mods have a right to crack down on that.
