The forums are better than most other. Steam is a troll's paradise and the mods on Reddit delete any posts critical of the game. Hell, I got banned from the Beamdog forums for saying the mods were wrong to ban the person who ran their roleplaying sub forum.

The mods here were forum participants before they became mods and some of them are willing to privately discuss mod policy. Are there some mods that are too quick with the ban hammer? Yes. But I don't see those coming around often. Most are decent humanoids.
