    Dear BigSoccer Members and Premium Members,

    As we hope you all know and appreciate, we are always striving to make BigSoccer the best community it possibly can be. One of the keys to our community is our moderators. They work hard to provide a fun and safe environment for everyone on the site. Of course, we realize things don't always go smoothly and that when some people have praise others have complaints.

    We are instituting a new procedure for reviewing our moderators, and that involves soliciting feedback from you. This is a serious excercise and we ask you to only participate if you take it seriously. We are asking you to post your praise and criticism, and suggestions, regarding the moderation of THIS PARTICULAR FORUM in this thread. Personal attacks will be binned (the mods have our approval to do this) and we are only looking for thoughtful criticisms or compliments. Though we'd prefer you didn't, if you are uncomfortable posting in public, please send EMAIL to help@bigsoccer.com.

    Thank you for your participation.

    Huss and JonnyQuest

    canada no it is not
    moderators no problems on this site

    I agree with Scott :) not unusal Scott is generally spot on on most of his posts anyway. Although some of us post crusty or disagreeable comments I rarely see anything other than an irritating opinion or two which is the result of free and unrestricted discussion. Agreeing to dissagree and move on is generally the aproach taken if a final solution can not be confirmed. Gold whistle all around!

    I agree that this forum is the best moderated forum on the site. Of course, the day to day degree of difficulty is probably the lowest, as well.

    However, their performance during the World Cup was exceptional! They stepped up to the challenge of providing links to our forum into other, more turbulent forums and made the influx of new opinions into an extremely enjoyable experience.

    Good job!

    Thanks, that was a real labor of love, lots of nights of watching and analyzing games into the wee hours. Glad you found it to be enjoyable. I think a lot of good regarding the understanding o f the laws of the game came from the posts.

    I also agree that we have GREAT mods on this forum. I have posted before that I have learned a lot on this forum and hopefully as I've started to gain more experience some referees are starting to learn from me.

    I think that Alberto and IASoc are the key reasons for having such a great exchange of information.

    IMNSHO....

    This is by far the best forum on Big Soccer. Both Alberto & IASocFan are doing a very commendable job keeping the threads on topic.

    Great Job guys
