| - One of the most significant sources of conflict on the NHL board has been a constant struggle with the mods. Given that the NHL Board is a tight-knit community, we like to discuss things that are not hockey related. Before the popularization of Ice Hockey, there was no venue to do this. This led to the growth of the HOCKEY fad, moving from just to CFL to everything from other sports, movies, TV and even politics.
- Sometime ago some very sane and logical people decided to help supervise fanficrants. Then these kind souls got caught up in the insanity, bitchiness, and mayhem. This is how we got The Mods. Fondly known to members as "Your Benevolent Dictators," or "Your Sexy Benevolent Dictators." As listed on FFR community's info page, they are:
* fallofrain (who is not bitter, no rly)
* zannechaos (who is not so grumpy)
* kutsuwamushi (who saves spleens for supper)
* jaina (the good cop)
* maeveth (the rookie wanka cop).

| - Sometime ago some very sane and logical people decided to help supervise fanficrants. Then these kind souls got caught up in the insanity, bitchiness, and mayhem. This is how we got The Mods.

* zannechaos (who is not so grumpy)
* kutsuwamushi (who saves spleens for supper)
* jaina (the good cop)
* maeveth (the rookie wanka cop). As stated above, they supervise the madness and insanity in FFR. They maintain order or fanficrants, keep the peace, break up the kids fighting, give time-outs, you know the drill. Enforcers of The Rules, givers out of the Mod Tags, swingers of the Banhammer, and the ones who decide whether your macros are funny. They stalk FFR. Generally laid back, and like to bitch about badfic like the rest of FFR. However when they put on their Mod-Hats, they become the Crowning Moderators of Awesome. Expect vast amounts of Logic, Crowning Moments of Awesome, Crowning Moments of Funny, Witty one-liners, Fantastic Put-downs, New words to add to your mental slang dictionary, Mod tags, Banhammering, and all other forms of Bad-Assery. And they do this all while playing WOW and wanting a pony. Hey we said that they were the "Crowning Moderators of Awesome", didn't we?

This led to the growth of the HOCKEY fad, moving from just to CFL to everything from other sports, movies, TV and even politics. Another contenious issue is topicality. Due to hockey's lack of appreciation in the United States, many mods are not knowledgable about the sport, to the point that they do not know what is on topic. This leads to many moderations of legitimate topics. In early 2009, another batch of new mods arrived. With them came even more horrible moderations, including obviously on-topic subjects like the QMJHL. This sparked a strong response by the NHL board, which resulted in a suggestion to petition renaming the board "Hockey", even though such a petition was deemed "unnecessary" a few years prior. The petition is still active.
