This only became a problem with red players who on average have about 30-40 less IQ than blue players. Red players will post things that are stupid and inflammatory and repeat themselves over and over again no matter how much evidence they're confronted with. Just look at what Kelgar posted in a recent bug thread:

I feel like you have never played a bard, and have no clue what you are talking about based on your comments about this known fact. If you want to fuck up an entire class based off of your own ignorance, ego, and unwillingness to research before opening your mouth, then go ahead, otherwise, figure your shit out and fix it.

This was directed at Kanras (a dev), and, in addition to being completely rude, Kelgar was
100% wrong about what he was saying. No matter how many times he was proven wrong, he kept on repeating himself and ignoring the evidence. Literally not a single player on the blue server is this dumb (except maybe Hasbinbad).
The problem is that the red server has probably a hundred players just like this who are presumptuous, narcissistic, illiterate assholes who immediately jump the gun and bash the staff before even trying to be calm and diplomatic first, and when they're called out on their bullshit, they either (a) ignore you, (b) strawman everything you say or (c) call you a "fag". You have guilds like Holo who will wave their hands in the air and cry that the server is ruined one day, and then complain about the staff not recovering their corpses (that rotted because they ragequit) fast enough the next day*. When you act like an ungrateful douchebag you lose your ability to demand things from the people you're acting like a douchebag towards. So instead of thinking of the rule against bashing the staff as an affront to your free speech or a rights violation, think of it as a guideline for how you can resolve your disputes with the staff more easily and get what you want.
*(this is just a made-up example, I don't think holo actually did this)
