I don't quite see it like that.
In some ways you're right ... posters (of whatever stripe - in this case, Force supporters) got rubbed out by a mod at the time ... the caravan moved on and didn't go back, even though I reckon the mod himself got binned.
However, that's pretty much how forums ... anywhere and everywhere ... generally operate.
The people with the levers (i.e. mods) don't have time to trawl back through the log files to rejudge every decision, figure out who didn't deserve to get binned and kiss it all better.
The fact G&GR have had fiddly software bugs on their main page for years on end and crap that hasn't been updated for ages (there is still a link to the 2013 Lions tour, f'rinstance) tells you this.

The way it works is you contact the site if you want be un-binned - and most aren't that bothered TBH - or you simply register another login.
