It's a volunteer position for which they get shit on endlessly. And let's be honest, this site would tank without them. Being a mod is often just shitloads of work. Franky, if offered the chance to be a mod, I'd turn it down.

I've seen an endless number of forums, left and non left, go to utter shit because the mods have an ego. One of the things that drew me into r/CTH was that the leadership team didn't take themselves too seriously.

Furthermore, the mods in the following pages can please go gargle my unshaved balls:

r/unpopularopinion

r/AITA

r/worldnews

r/politics

    I mean it's certainly possible that it's one of the first devs that got burned out by mod stuff (that's exactly what happened and it's the reason devs and moderation are kept extremely separated these days) but something's off about it. The post seems pretty hard to misinterpret this heavily.

      Beatnic (spelling??) got dragged through the mud pretty bad over what looked a lot like a hit. I wouldn't be surprised if it was him.

        Nooooooooo they're still in contact and still very positive with good relations. Just busy offline to my knowledge.

        That was definitely a hit though.
