Very much so!
I used to frequent my "natural home" forum, but moderators deleted so many "fun" posts, and switched from
allowing single topic posts and questions to forcing all posts into super-conglomerate threads. That forum became
unreadable, and I lost all pleasure perusing it. Most of that forum's long time posters have now left as well.
The BA forum leads for information,entertainment, and personalities, definitely a product of posters and moderators.
