'Women.' On Reddit, that word means a number of things.
Thing is, you'd think that being a moderator would be automatic purgatory for people with such an unstable sense of ego and identity. I'm not the most zen person, and I had admin powers over a game and it's forum a long time ago. It's not an effortless job (done properly), it was stressful, as you see just what kind of insane, unintelligent, defective or plain schizophrenic assholes that just end up gravitating to your little corner of the Internet. Autistic little kids who try to chat up girls, rednecks who post incoherent rambling threads, trolls and hackers with endless spoof accounts, losers playing anime villain and of course, the Russians. If you're lax, people get frustrated and leave. If you become a martinet, you gain bad a reputation and people can revolt. It was a real struggle to stop myself banning people that I just couldn't stand.
Moderation is about rational dispute resolution, of dealing with people who are not going to see eye-to-eye and are likely going to get angry at you. So how does somebody who needs a safe-space so she can call gamers white supremacists and larp as a deer (off the top of my head) ever going to do their jobs? I've heard content moderators for tech companies get burned out, how are these people running things en masse when they're traumatised by a random penis joke? They're not even comfortable in trans-only spaces.
