There is a "flag" link on a post on the forum, if you click it, then a 
message gets sent to an administrator who may or may not remove the 
post. In this case, the response to this post was removed, proving 
moderation does happen. I don't know what happens privately, as I've 
never been warned.

The truth is, the forum is very lightly moderated. We are generally 
pretty tolerant of legitimate conversation, even if it's peppered with 
some salty language. In this case, I'd consider the conversation from 
the IntegratedDimensions side to be pretty low quality.

There is rudeness, which is tolerated to a certain degree, and then 
there is nothing-but-ad-hominem abuse and harrassment, which describes 
the previous post that I purposely did not quote.

The former is likely to get you nowhere, but isn't considered worthy of 
removal IMO. The latter needs to be dealt with, and is usually done by 
removing the post in question. It can result in banning as well.

And finally, there's spam, which generally gets you banned.

So while there's no formal policy, what happens is effective IMO.
