HF mods are out of control. Soupnahtzee is the worst. Any non-commonly held opinion about the team = locked, suspended, banned.
My first account there, I wrote a long post about why I didn't think Zadina would be a successful NHL player and why. Banned. 1-2 year later the entire board agrees Zadina sucks and now you can post "Zadina is a child molesting demon" with no sources or reasoning behind it...
I've had several accounts banned for shockingly frivolous things there.
But if you're a regular, and the mods like you, you can get away with just about anything. Gotta be part of the cool kids club.
We had a similar thing happening here for awhile... There was an ongoing personal message thread between like 12+ accounts called "the pool party". It was number9/CRL (me) + Kickazz + jimmyemeryhunter + krsmith + nervedamage + marcaractac + several other users, some of which still post here.... So I won't mention them. The message thread was mostly for sharing things you didn't want on the public board and discussing drama on the board among other "cool" guys you trusted. But it often escalated to the users in that group conspiring to mess with the board. Like we would decide how we were all gonna gang up on one user we didn't like or something in an argument. But that group never had any mods in it...
Reason I'm sharing this: This same thing happens at HFboards, but on a larger scale, and it includes a mix of users and mods. All it takes is you politely disagreeing with the wrong popular user and that user will tell his mod "friend" to ban you.
There's a club at HF... And you n I ain't in it.
Team still sucks. Nothing will change until then.
