You are exactly right. The threads were moved here because hardly anyone goes in to the suggestions area (this partly because when suggestions are made, we are either ignored, told that the suggestion isnt the correct way of doing things, or we are spoken to like we are 2 year olds who need to be reprimanded)
I think the moderators are hoping that the thread dies down.
I am not against moderators, maybe they are needed...especially when people get out of hand, but it seems to me that the moderators are carrying this a little to far and are on a power trip and they are not even moderating the things that need to be moderated.
