BGG is valuable because _the users_ have contributed vast amount of content. BGG makes a great deal of money because a highly focussed audience of users look at a lot of ads on the site. Given that users built it, pay for it with attention or in many cases, pay for it directly, why exactly do you claim that they aren't entitled to it being even moderately reliable?
