I thought it was a bit ridiculous when I saw a suggestion of me becoming a mod but with the brigading spammers because for the most part I'm very hands off. With summer holidays right around the corner and no lifers coming out of woodwork along with us being one user away from having child porn spammed I think someone needs to step in. Otherwise potentially the whole site is going to get nuked because I've seen this behaviour before back on reddit. Whoever these brigaders really are seem to be deliberately posting gradually worse content and 'views' up to try and fuck with everyone and it's much more obvious now who it is.

Yep. Possibly the only cool and effective forum mods I ever knew didn't even have that strong interest in the subject matter of the forum, nor being a mod at all. Was just a cool, talented, intelligent and funny dude.
Plus it's exhausting, thankless work that requires a certain level of autism if the traffic is high enough, and if you have a life and actual responsibilities then it's even less likely that you would bother with such a thing. I'd much rather be enjoying my mediums of choice with my limited free time.
I was a chat server owner for a year and even that was exhausting and tedious even though there wasn't that much to moderate since I chose the community myself.
