I'm going to add to what buck said. It's not that moderating is tough, it got made tougher when the level of respect left. The respect left with Christopher and his goon squad. You can't bring outsiders into a tight knit community like snowmobilers and expect people to hang on their every word. You know it doesn't work like that.
The icing on the cake is the gross disrespect shown to the membership that spoke back. The Whambulance? Deleting everything that didn't fit with the direction the overlords want this place to go? Deleting threads that don't speak favorably of a sponsor? People being made mods that have been on this board for less time than a woman's menstrual cycle?
One train wreck after another.
I feel like a lot of the people have been saying. I want to see how it ends. Change is hard. I see the end goal and look forward to it. We knew it wasn't going to be pretty going in. But, in the end, it will be a positive change and hopefully people will see the value that will be offered.
I understand a lot of the aggravation with the so-called over-moderation. Moderating a forum is a unique experience and not everybody is good at it. At the end of the day, though, it comes down to enforcing the rules of the forum. I will be the first to admit that for a long time here the inmates have been running the asylum. What one person calls overmoderation, another may call "it's about time they enforced the rules." For every vocal person who posts a beef publicly there may be 10 that show support privately, or there may be 30 who have the same complaint. It's a balancing act. When it hasn't been done to an acceptable level for a long time, it is painful when it does finally get done. That's where we are. Ultimately, as people get used to following the actual rules, I think the unrest will settle. That's what I'm hoping for, anyway.

Like being a snowmobiler but never snowmobiling.
most mods read threads.....not sled
Your not refering to a arfy are you?

respect is a 2 way street. you NEVER saw this amount of disrespect before, from either side! as soon as one side(admin, mods) started with it, the members answered! as YOU like to point out, it takes 2 to tango, not all the members fault, or the admins/mods totally. but this fight was started, and not by the membersWhat about the disrespect from the members? Seem like most people leave this extremely important point out. All the rest is justification for people to act like children... and get (surprisingly to some) punished accordingly.

never meant to imply ALL admins/mods, sorry JBB! but there are lots of bad ones, with only a few good ones, which have mostly been fired or quitnot all mods were power hungry bucky! in my 1 month as a mod i didnt have to do much, as for who becomes a mod? there should be some set guide lines. if a person has under 5000 post! shouldnt be a mod, under 1 year as a member. same deal. super mod? should be a long term member and a big poster. not saying post or time are the only things that make a mod, but it should be some sort of inducation of the persons charactor
haven't seen nate in a LONG time, well befor this all started!Dang, Mules gone too......
What about Nate is he still around?
