They are quite happy to lurk and glean wisdom without the act of actually posting and making themselves known. So your assumption about why we don't have more members posting is missing the point.
Any endeavor benefits from having a structure of rules. You can't have maximum performance in an athlete unless you have rules to focus that performance. A company, army, government, family - anything with more than one person as a member; performs with better efficiency with a framework of rules to work within.
It has been my experience that there has not been any heavy handed moderating and your stand says more about you than about this site. And I'm quiet puzzled how one could run a tightly controlled exclusive group on the Internet. This is pretty much the wild west with folks free to come and go as they please.
Reminds me of an old saying; There are two types of people. Those that make us smile when they come into a room and those that make us smile when they leave.
Well that there is right neighborly of you.
That reminds of another saying, one that was a favorite of a blue-collar, yeoman supervisor of mine decades ago.
"Don't go thinking on me, just do as you're told."
