HF rant thread

I hope no one minds this. This thread is to rant about HF.

I could not believe this but I posted this early this morning and it was deleted:

He's a total liability at this stage and was never more that a stop gap that lingered way too long due to the previous regime's incompetence.

If there's no deal on the table, waive him.

A thread about Bozak: http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=2145049&page=3

Aside from the stupidity on this forum, the moderators are the dumbest posters over there and totally intolerant of comments they disagree with.
 
It's really disappointing because there's some very good posters over there. The mods in general on the Leafs forum are incredibly stupid (Mess, Ulf, Cor, Daisy) and this just drives intelligent people away and attracts total idiots. Such a shame.
 
I do at least somewhat understand the need for a big, popular public message board to moderate for trolling, language, insults, etc.

But deleting an innocuous hockey-related post because you disagree with the opinion in it is some next level sadness & power-tripping.

I've got an account over there too (though probably less than a dozen posts in 10 years), and I find it a good place to go if you want to gauge the opinions of other fanbases about something, or the opinions of "Joe hockey fan". The Leaf board there is kind of a cesspool, though.

Wonder over occasionally, mainly during FA and trade period as it's a place where any and every hockey rumour ends up being posted so i don't have to search at all.
 
I really only ever go over there when I'm looking for updated information on semi obscure euro prospects for dynasty league purposes. There's a pretty big contingent of Russian and Finnish fans on HF.
 
Didn't you guys all vacate some other forum, (Scout, I think) because of overmoderation? Why have an account there if they moderate too much?
 
HF has suspended me so many times. I go there to fight the good fight against leaf nation biases and errors. All the dummy reporters and talking heads read and propogate on and from HF, so I feel I am obligated to try and correct the stupidity as best I can. And when the leafs really suck and there's nothing to discuss productively here, it's easy to go over there and not have to actually do the work of starting a conversation, and just join in and heckle.

We here are thankfully not representitive of leaf nation.
 
I'm not a fan either. Unfortunately, that's where the bulk of Senators info and discussion happens.

Anyway, not posting there hasn't affected my life a whole lot. It's like primary school.

Yeah, I largely go over there for information. I've had an account since 2000 (although changed when they did some server switch thingy) and have fewer than 1K posts. The prospects thread is the one I visit the most, as there's some folks who follow junior and international league closely with nice updates. Most other threads I avoid like the plague (especially the trade rumour thread which will beat your IQ to a pulp).

To big a task, as you get swamped by the idiots regularly. I don't know how you can stand doing that but kudos.
 
I started an account a couple months ago but haven't posted yet. Only go there when I want to read hockey talk and this place is slow. Before 3-4 months ago I had barely been there.

Think you'd would've lasted no more than a few posts on HF.:lol

*I* got an infraction for using the term "doubling down"....apparently the Mod who issued it thought it had some sort of sexual connotation :eek:ut:
 
I remember I was a mod at that first forum we all posted at (think my username was leafsrule and some number)...I was deleting a lot of posters posts..but I realized pretty fast that kind of thing wasn't going to work there. The whole forum would rise up against me if I kept that up. I think it says a lot about the people that post here. (ie as it's many of the same posters)

I had an account there forever, i think since 2004 maybe? Not sure, but if you like you can go and find my username and post history. It's the one with the asterix beside the name.

The mods are ridiculous. I usually had an infraction or several at any given time. I got one for telling someone to "blow themselves up" in a thread about Eugene, which is about as ridiculous as you can get since it's a verbatim quote in the first place.

Then I let one former mod know exactly how I felt about him one time, which led to a ban, my first and only ban, that was supposed to be 2 weeks, but then they gave me a life sentence.

I think the ban was for talking about the suspension here, and some rat gay reported it. Apparently it is a bannable offense to complain about the mods / moderation anywhere on the internet.

Whatever. They still suck, and I'm still awesome. They are the ones that are losing my contributions. My message still gets out.

Sometimes I do go and read threads and it takes all of 5 seconds to be reminded of how terrible the place is.
