With respect Joey, that is rather a sweeping statement and you clearly
haven't looked into the reasons/causes behind this. The example
thread you linked to was made early on by certain users. The threads
weren't locked or shut down or edited because we have a free speech
and self moderation policy - something that forums.debian.net
certainly does not have. Tempers were high at the time and it's taken
a while for things to calm down. Now they have - you won't have seen
many of those kind of threads in the last few days.
In fact if you had read a bit more you would have seen that we have
appealed for calm already:

Please consider the facts that we have taken the time, effort and
money to actually start a board, rather than simply, condemning us out
of hand based on the actions of a handful of people in one or two
threads.

It's unfortunate that Debian doesn't have an official forum curated by
Debian. That's probably why whatever unfortunate stuff that goes on is
going on.
May want to think twice before linking to a site that contains this kind
of thing:
http://www.debianuserforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=144
Recommendation: Either keep forums.debian.net, or if it has attracted a
problem community, remove it and list only debianHELP and ask.debian.net,
which both have structures to avoid this type of problem.
