I think if you want all puppies and rainbows in the forums, it would be more realistic to make a sub forum for positive only stuff, than it would be to expect people to keep frustration and their feelings on things to themselves. There are, after all, many forums run by others that can operate on whatever rules they feel like.
I think it would be terrible PR if they discouraged feedback that not everyone likes.
Believe it or not, the more someone is into a game, the more they are invested in it emotionally, the more likely they are to voice their opinion, negative or positive. The forum does also, provide us tools to filter out what we don't like. You aren't forced to read threads, and if you really find someone's behavior offensive, you can ignore them.
What one person finds as a negative feedback, another might find as reassuring that they are not alone in how they feel. Not everyone has the same emotional maturity, especially on the internet. No matter how negative someone is they can't MAKE you unhappy, or angry, how you feel about others behavior is up to you.
At the end of the day, complaining about people complaining, just continues the cycle of complaining.
My experience is in this life, you can't expect anyone to behave any better than they absolutely have to, and even then, there is a reason why forums have moderators, and societies have police etc.
