.. Well, the only thing I find notable about some of the mods is that they always post flavour images when they take a moderation action, which I realize now comes off vaguely obnoxious

Alright, in the chance that my opinion is worth noting here, my real opinion is this: This is a hard forum. Very political, very (anti-)religious. The mods do the best they can with the people the have to rule over. I applaud their endurance.

There's a reason for that. It helps make sure that the post in question gets noticed and that there isn't any confusion about a post from me-the-player vs me-the-Moderator.

I would be lying if I said the "DI incident" doesn't still rustle my jimmies. Immediately before leaving for work, I had ruled that the word "tranny" wasn't actionable by itself; by the time I returned apparently I had somehow become Public Enemy #1 despite having virtually nothing to do with the ruling that was handed down during the intervening period.

That's more on the game side and will undoubtedly be more to do with the servers than anything else.

Have you seen the amount of threads and posts there are?

I alone have over eight thousand posts and there are players who have tens of thousands.

Some who are little over a year old have more than me.

How do they do it?

Even at uni when I thought I was on here to much, even when I was unemployed and I thought I was on here too much, I didn't do that.
