If there's any doubt, ustwo wasn't banned. He's busy with his real life.
I suppose over-moderation is possible, but for my part, I doubt it is the culprit. In fact, I can probably count the number of non-spammers we've banned in the last 9 months on one hand. It just doesn't happen very often. In fact, we don't even warn people very often - it tends to come in spurts, and judging by the warning levels I see on the posters in this thread, it's pretty well distributed.
You can start from the obvious place: some people aren't posting because it isn't rewarding enough to them to seem worthwhile. Working backwards, it's either because they're too busy (coincidence), because there is so little to talk about that they don't bother to make the effort (doubtful), or because discussions here aren't scratching their itch (this one is my guess).
