It's rather hard to say much more than 'something' is going to happen at the moment, but there's going to be some fairly significant changes to the forums soon.
When I came back I put a fairly simple set of expectations forward for our moderators, some of those expectations those have been violated, somethings I had never foreseen occurred as well. Prior to now I was able to easily judge the situation and do something about it accordingly, but right now there is no clean solution. I'm going to work with the moderation team to figure out what we should do with the forums, and once I have some options in hand I'll ask the communities opinions.
