Presumably whoever wrote that statement.

But I'd like to clarify it.  I think we could use more active
administrators, who actively participate in the discussions to helps form
them into more useful ones.  The part that I'm saying is fine is the lack of
formal structured posting rules.

It'd be nice if an admin would step into this thread and clarify how much
discussion s/he'd like on the topic, what the goals are that we're trying to
reach with this thread, etc, rather than come in 5 days later and lock the
thread or throw down the ban hammer.  Ideally we need people people actively
facilitating discussion, and these people need to have the power to enforce
things in the rare case that need be (mainly because otherwise we get
discussions like this one where some people say one thing and some people
say the opposite, and it's impossible to please everyone).  Setting rules on
how many words/times/whatever you can post isn't going to take the place of
an active facilitator.
