It is easy to display an opinion without subjective bias, if a moderator touches base with the community in a way that that does not make the company look bad, how is it detrimental? It does not cause problems unless the moderator does not follow the boundary between work and play. I can direct you to a number of popular MMO forums where the moderators are all volunteer basis, and regulate things with a firm grasp of knowing as to where they stand between a player and a company representative.
