    that’s pretty embarrassing. they should’ve opened the flood gates and walked away. i modded a /r/technology for a minute and there was just so much backroom bickering about moderation philosophy applied to every borderline spam case. idk why anyone would want to engage in that constantly.

      You’re obviously too good of a person to have continued to be a mod

      It would be nice if mods where the type of people who didn’t want to be mods.

        i wouldn’t go that far, but i think it is like policing and government where the people who would be best suited for the job are usually the type who wouldn’t really want to do it.

          That’s because they fully understand the burden of properly doing said job. This is the very reason I’ve turned down many job offers and/or doing something for free. Cuz I know that that will be just another thing on my schedule, which I would ralter not cramp up all the way. Got a family, would like to spend some time with them as well. Helping people and doing stuff for free or for a small fee is fun and I enjoy it, but it doesn’t put food on the table and it doesn’t compensate for lost time with my loved ones.
