Sounds like you’d make an excellent moderator!

Because who do you think moderators and admins are? Literally just people trying to look after computer systems for the benefit of everyone who wants to use and support that system.

It is very thankless and unrelenting work. I’ve done it for decades and right now I’m not doing it at all because it’s too exhausting to have as a background thread with the rest of my family life.

If you have a low opinion of mods then seriously, try being one for a few years. It’s a hard sell without much good about it. Mods are just people taking turns at a job very few actually want to do.

Volunteer admins and moderators are really why we have any public internet at all.
