It is up to the users not to engage or encourage shitstorms in the first place. If you are looking for nanny mods there are plenty of boards to choose from. The fact that moderation goes unnoticed just shows some maturity.
I don't like over moderation either but we can't talk about a client update or a logo design without wading though an ocean of insults and fluff. It's at the point where trolls are preventing any actual cryptocurrency related discussion. So we need someone to moderate.
Do you know why we aren't doing anything about those threads? Because we aren't interested in the discussion and thus, never read it. That being said, we still give people plenty of leeway when we do read the post.
Only one post has been reported on the entire forum in the last 24 hours, and that was for a post in Bitcoin discussion.
