I think the Mods on Mobileread do an excellent job. I think the sometimes precarious balance between an outright abusive free for all as on some other forums and a "Nanny" forum where real discussion is almost impossible is kept very well. I see nothing in the thread concerned which calls into question the behaviour of any moderator. Harry was quite within his rights to express his opinion of the music in one of the OP's previous videos. Dr Drib likewise expressed his opinion, which he is entitled to do. As I recall the major criticism (apart from the music) was that the post originally purported to cover a much wider range of ereaders and screen sizes than it in fact did. A fair comment and easily remedied. I did feel a little sorry for the OP who had invested his time in making a Video for the Mobileread Community which is to be encouraged. I appreciate him doing this, although I am not personally that interested in the subject. However, the criticism was, as I've said above, accurate and fair, if sometimes not phrased very diplomatically. I think had the OP simply acknowledged this and changed the description concerned the focus would likely have returned to the Video itself.
Posting guidelines exist for a reason. If these guidelines are breached then this should be reported. If you think a particular guideline should be changed or introduced, it can be discussed generally on the forums or if more specific privately with the Mods. With respect you seem to have taken offence here where no guidelines have been breached. This can lead to guidelines which are too restrictive or are interpreted too strictly with the result that open discussion is stifled.
Let's not change something which I submit is working very well overall.
