Try a fee-based forum? Generally, the moderation will be more to your taste and your complaints will be taken more seriously.
We have some excellent posters here. But, remember free forums are usually for entertainment with the occasional willingness to volunteer helpful advice. Crowd-sourced psychology isn't the same as from a pro.
Hope this helps to explain things.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
