I ran into the same problem at GA.dsm.org. Honestly, I don't know how it works...the whole posting/space/bandwidth thing. Is somebody paying money for this site? Is there a certain amount of space they can use? I can understand a "goodness of your heart" approach to helping people out...a lot of member's websites are like that, but if someone is actually having to pay so that people can post dumb stuff (I would consider half of my posts kinda dumb)...then the moderators definitely have a right to get upset and delete and lock posts. I dunno...I do have to admit that I end up feeling kinda like a jackass when somebody tells me not to post or locks my threads up, but that is probably because I am uneducated as to the real reasons they do it.
