When you split these topics in to their own forums, like SOT, the subforums then encourage the people interested in precisely that subject to go there instead where they can hold a reasonable conversation.

It's all in the power of the membership on here, and the impression i've got is that they simply repeatedly abuse their privileges which results in actions like this being taken.
