DP is a good example where you have the regime keeping things in line. People can report countless things, and they are pretty good are monitoring it. I too got a temp ban in the beginning, but it's just a matter of figuring out the dynamics.
That said, you have a LOT more fucking clueless idiots on some of these boards, and a SHITLOAD more scams, and scammers. I mean, some of these boards are probably a good 1/4 easily scams. Half clueless idiots, and then you have a top tier of people who have...
1. Been around more than 6 months.
2. Make more than $50.00 a month.
3. Own REAL websites.
4. Are doing this full time.
99% of mainstream board persona are not in online full time. Right there is a red flag to me.

i think there are a lot of factors and its often a question of degree.
i think that most large boards are very similar. of course smaller boards and boards that are heavily modded can be different and small boards with cliques of friends are different. but my experience is that in general, big forums with an assload of users tend to be the same... tend to be full of the same types of personalities, similar breakdowns in group dynamics and same useless crap, dumb people, dumb discussions, spam etc etc.
