Yes, you could argue this, but without any moderation, a budding Java coder can easily receive abuse from users. I feel that the moderation and monitored flow of communication was a wise move. Also, Bukkit was obliged to do this, as some threads can contain information relating to other organisations which may not follow the same precautionary steps as Bukkit.

What I'm saying is; Bukkit monitored the flow of communication for the good of the Bukkit community and it's users. It also kept the forums focused solely on the subject at hand, which I feel is important for a subject related community. Otherwise, the forums might as well not exist, and everyone should just as might well go to Twitter or Facebook.
