To be honest, the fact that everybody wants everything for free is a real issue. People don't want to pay for music, they don't want to pay for movies, TV, they want journalists to to work for free, they want photographers for free cause their aunt has her own photo company (Suzy's Professional Photography, check her out on Facebook), graphic artists should give away their work for exposure, "hey Bill, since you work in IT, can you come check to see why my 2006 Toshiba Satellite is slow," etc.
But on the other hand, it's a web forum with a overzealous ban policy and no accountability. If you want people to feel bad about the ship sinking, you can't have spent years delighting in throwing people off it.
