Just to correct your assumptions slightly.
The server isn't always busy, although at peak periods it often is. During such times there might often be around 500 peopleor more on the forums at any one time. In fact it is rare to see more than 3 or 4 moderators on line at the same time. Quite often there are one 1 or 2 and sometimes no moderators here at all. Moderators don't actually cut censor and move as much as they possibly can, they simply attempt to keep the forums tidy and interesting to the readership. In doing this, it is necessary to ensure the forum rules are being generally adhered to. Sometimes contributors to the forums will themselves waste bandwidth by posting the same thing on two or more forums. In these situations the subject will be addressed by deciding which forum is most appropriate and removing the rest. Sometimes contributors will post in a forum that is not best suited to the topic. This isn't something done with malice, but often because the poster is not sure where best to place the topic. Sometimes posters want their particular topic to get "maximum exposure" as they perceive it, and will place it in a forum where in reality it is otherwise not best suited. These are the main reasons for moving a thread. Even where this occurs the topic has a link from the original forum for a period of time.
"Cutting and censoring" are usually only done when a violation of the rules has occured. For example somebodies use of language may be deemed to be innapropriate. The use of a real name that is deemed unacceptable. In such circumstances the thread may be moved to the administrators own forum for further ( non public) consideration. In this forum a thread can be considered by all administrators and moderators and commented upon as necessary. some threads are returned to their originating forum, some are modified and returned and some are simply removed permanently. In fact you might be surprised just how few threads are actually referred, and this is a result of the moderators own judgement in their particular forums of responsibility. Sometimes the removal of one word or sentence enables a thread that is of interest to many people to stay active when it might otherwise be removed. Once again this happens less often that you might think.
On the subject of writing posts in contravention of the opinions of the ownership. Well of course Danny is the owner of this site and naturally it is his rules that prevail. He is ultimately responsible for the content and conduct of this site and all its forums. Each of us as members signed up to the rules when we joined. As members we are all expected to comply with the rules and to appropriate levels of conduct. As a moderator I can tell you that my only knowledge of the site owners opinions are those that he posts himself on these forums from time to time. I have never had the site owner tell me or even suggest that in moderating any forum I should comply with his own personal opinions. Indeed I should not moderate the forums in accordance with my own personal opinions except where these relate to the efficiency and conduct of the forum generally.
Each forum is usually moderated by a different moderator or group of moderators. They (we) are given a good deal of latitude in how to moderate that forum. Of course there are general parameters and these are subject to frequent discussion. For this reason you will often see differing degrees of acceptability and content on the various forums. This gives each forum its own flavour and style.
The site is free for members and it has always been Dannys declared intention to keep it that way. The popularity of the site has been the cause of so much traffic andt hus bandwidth utilization. If you will, it has almost been a victim of its own success. A great deal of money and effort is put into this site by Danny and his admin team thus keeping the whole thing an ongoing success.
So I am afraid your perception of the "problem" is totally inaccurate, which rather makes the "solution" a bit of a non starter as well.
In summary, for nearly 70,000 members there are probably almost as many opinions. It is the differences that result in this site having as many daily hits and contributions as it does. The moderators main task is to keep the whole thing in some semblance of order. Given so much human input it will never be perfect, but we try nontheless. Sanctions against members are rare and normally only applied in a very measured way. Even in those cases where an individual has adopted an extreme or wholly inappropriate stance it is often resolved by something as "simple" as an apology, and / or an undertaking to comply with the site rules in the future.
