Probably there were few people reading the thread. I recall being active for a bit in that thread, then later ignoring it. As a rule of thumb, a long thread that is being posted to frequently by only two or three people has a reasonably large probability of being uninteresting to others, and often it will be ignored. For this and other reasons, you may find that posting a public complaint may be rather ineffective. On the other hand, if sent moderator email, a moderator will go and check out what's happening. If you do think that making a public comment on general conduct is still the way to go, perhaps a new post (as opposed to a reply somewhere down in a thread) might be best. Don't forget to include "Moderation:" (or "Mod:") at the beginning of the title, so that people are aware of being relevant not at the "computer chess" level, but at the "how this board works" level.
