It is too bad. I think if you want to be a moderator, you need to be objective, check your ego at the door and not play favorites. I'm not sure that all of them do that over there.

I was having a conversation with somebody here about this exact topic last weekend. Agree with Gr8erade 100%.

If some of you guys only knew some of the things those guys have to deal with on a daily basis running a site that they are not getting paid for perhaps you would not be so quick to judge. The site is massive, the member count just over 12,000 at the time of this posting. With that they need to have rules, and there are some people that simply do not have the common courtesy to obey them. Just a thought.
You're right
When a site becomes very big and crowded, it is normal to be strict on certain things.
I own a 70 000+ members web site in another domain and I also receive sometime negative feedback due to strict rules, it's very hard to please everyone unfortunately.
Sports2k is not here to compete with MSH, it's here mainly for pro stock gear whores who like to share their experiences and post pics of different products

This is the truth, and it's been a total labor of love since day one, but the level of snarkiness is really out of control over the last year or so.If some of you guys only knew some of the things those guys have to deal with on a daily basis running a site that they are not getting paid for perhaps you would not be so quick to judge.

I guess I just see it as the frustration finally coming to a peak after beating their heads off a wall dealing with the same messes over and over again. I know it drives me nuts dealing with the same reoccurring problems, and even worse, the same people again and again.
PS. I've been reprimanded privately a time or two by the moderators before anyone decides to go down that route.

Here is how I kind of see it. I have worked in the sporting goods industry(not hockey) for a long time, as a buyer, store manager and sales rep. If someone came into my store(MSH in this case) and the owners(JR, CHADD) treated the customer(ME or US) like children when we may ask a question that seems naive and trivial, they would not be in business long. The responses to some questions asked have been down right condescending and making the person looking for info seem like he is stupid for even asking. Like retail or any other business, I don't care what you have been "putting up with" because it is not from me. So, don't treat me like I'm the one causing your grief and aggravation. I pay my $10 to belong(sell)and I contibute when I feel I can, therefore, I'm their customer and we need to help foster an accepting hockey environment to educate not push people away. I have come to the point where if I think I have a question that might get a smartass response, I go somewhere else and I have also really cut down on my MSH visits. In the end, it is their ball and they can do as they wish. I just wonder wether this is how they would treat someone coming into their shop.I guess I just see it as the frustration finally coming to a peak after beating their heads off a wall dealing with the same messes over and over again.

Logic could lead one to infer that it might be the moderators, the way they moderate, and their involvement in the discussions that might actually be the cause of a lot of problems over there.
I'm happy there's a good alternative without the heavy handed moderation. So thanks Dupes.
