Side-barring cultural differences ever so slightly...

Is anyone curious as to why Community Reps are more active in responding to questions posed over at the Jpn forums (They usually post a link that answers/explain the Op's request) than ours? I mean, we do have some decent threads here that address legit concerns in civilized manner. Then three more pop up about the same thing more or less. Again some civilized, others...not so much. From what I've seen over there, the opinions are not shutdown but rather consolidated.

Maybe at the time of forum creation, someone decided it'd be better not to step on NA toes and just let us be free (so long as it doesn't break ToS). That I could see as the actual cultural difference?

I guess what I'm also getting at is whether or not moderators have de facto orders let us live and let live.
