I've been watching this thread since it was created, and have been biting my tongue for quite a while and not posting, because
I know
it'll delve into directing things towards others and/or naming and shaming, which aren't necessarily acceptable for the forums.
I will leave with just saying, the downfall of the forums is
Not sure how long the OP has been apart of the forum community, but back in the day, you got muted for saying Google and other ridiculous things. The rules have become a lot more relaxed, and I strongly believe that would've in part been due to the contributions of the FMods in consultation with CM.
As others have said, the reason these forums are dead isn't because of the FMods, but because of the lack of JMod interactions here, as well as, quite honestly shit forum system. There's so many restrictions on here for posting (images, videos, 2k character limit, lack of formatting tools such as dot points or polls, etc), which other platforms offer. Also, for things like Twitter, you can post whatever you like without the worry of someone else deleting it.
This thread just appears to be the OP being butthurt about a decision that was made against one of their threads. Don't feel bad though, you're not the only one. We've all been there at some point.

not
the fault of the FMod Team. Yes, there's been countless decisions in the past, towards myself and others that I do not agree with personally, however that does not fault the team for the current state of the forums. They are set guidelines by Jagex in which they have to follow - it does suck these guidelines aren't publicly shared, or the FSRs haven't been updated for a decade, but we just have to take the word of the team that they are following those guidelines. If a team member were to "make up" their own rules, then I'm sure they wouldn't be on the team for much longer.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
