The large problem with society is that it is largely ignorant. Once you do something that attracts attention to yourself (such as creating a top selling game) you are bound to be flooded (no pun intended) with people just dying to spout off about anything and every little thing that gets on their nerves. Of course, when you have thousands of people doing this each day in the same forums, you tend to have some spillover into other, un-corrupted forums. Of course, with the Underground, the forum is completely swamped becuase it is the first thing that anyone sees (and automatically assumes that it is there solely for the purpose of their post and their response is the top of everyone's priority).
But this is not to say that the core group of members do not find a way around stupidity and inanity; instead, they take some of the law into their own hands, offering guidance and occasional reprimands to their fellows. This is not to say that we are all without transgressions, for most (if not all of us) have broken some forum rule at one point or another, though most have learned their lessons and continue on to live another day.
However, in extreme cases, we get the few that simply do not understand the sanctity of these near holy relics (the underground, for example) and they continue to spam the forums with trash and drivel, heedless of the flagillation of their comrads.
And to answer your final question, no, this is in the right forum. And it (by my standards) is of appropriate topic for this area.
