It feels like a bunch of moderation decisions are made by people just trying to satisfy some arbitrary OCD-like requirements. Like "you can't reply to an old conversation" or "you can't talk about a problem someone has already talked about". That stuff is worse than the people who reply useless shit like RTFM (aka "I go to helo forums not to provide help but to gloat about the things I know that you don't and act like every single comment is addressed to me personally and needs my input") because at least those useless comments don't kill the rest of the conversation.
