Part of the published code of conduct regards not saying anything if you can't contribute in a positive manner to a thread, which more and more, people disregard.

Actually the way that I do understand what you are talking about is only in those forums where it's specifically specified Exhibition, TB, Artwork, Literature, and the like.
The reasons for those specific ones is because people will not post if they feel they are scrutinized and flamed. It was engineered as such to bring those people out of the woodwork.
You cannot call another member here a dumbass directly, but you can say they had stupid actions, or make it more tactful or respectful. The latter is greatly encouraged.
