Actually, I can make some sense of the response from the moderator.

I was considering the Touareg as well. My final decision came down to the X5 and the Touareg and I just ordered my X5 last month. I did a lot of reading over at the Touareg forum, and the main thing that turned my off from that car was all the talk of problems.

While X5 World discussions are mostly about mods you can do to your X5, which factory options to get, and performance of the X5, I found that 50% of the discussion at the Touareg forum was about various problems that people had with their cars, and the problems they had getting them fixed, i.e. multiple trips to the dealer, service bulletins, etc. There were even some threads on lemon law cases where people were trying to get their money back because of so many problems.

So considering the volume of threads on the various problems the car has, I can see why the moderator responded that way. It would be like if someone posted a thread on X5World saying "anyone heard of the IceLink plus Ipod controller??".
