Here's my view on it: Admins should be getting involved in the conversation, not ending it. Take a look here. This is a prime example of great moderation. There are actually fewer rules over there- "stay PG-13, stay on topic, and be nice." Despite this, the whole forum is full of genuinely friendly, creative people. See how the mods and admins are not only active, but they're talking with everyone as if they themselves were normal people and not supreme overlords that only descend from their high horse to rain down Hell on people who don't follow the rules to a tee. And don't think these mods are lenient, either. They still ban, they still close threads, they still give warnings when needed.

If you want to be able to control the population, you have to convince them that you CARE. Which means that more admins are needed that are active, friendly, and knowledgable. THEN this forum will begin to tone down in hostility.
