  A well-constructed site also has a huge amount of work put in to its design and functionality. Its a job that requires a lot of discretion, compromise, and adapting to the best interests of the users… all things which aren’t necessarily obvious. So really, there’s at least three absolutely vital job areas:

  • Backend and maintenance
  • Ongoing site design
  • Moderation and PR

  It’s so, so easy to underestimate how much and varied the work is going to be when you’re high on enthusiasm.

    None of that makes you look at mutilated children, though.

      That depends on the layout of duties for any particular site / instance.

      When Sunaurus spoke of “vile content,” I got the sense that yes, he had to deal with too much of that horrible shit, plus much more.
