Get a little power rush from slapping down troublemakers and move on with my day. The users made it easier back then. As the years went on and people got older, more bitter, and better at trying to skirt the rules (having broken them for a decade), it was just draining. I'm so glad I got out when I did because that curve just kept sliding down. I legitimately don't remember anymore. I started before mid-2003, at least, I only had about 400 karma and that was the bare minimum at the time. I think I was in the first batch where mods started having different levels? We were all picked to monitor different sections at the time. I quit around 2010, maybe? I don't remember when, but that was the last time I remember still being a mod. It felt bad constantly having to look at all the dreck that gets posted by people, and that stupid coloured bar (that was condition "black" 95% of the time) constantly reminding you how you weren't looking at enough dreck was depressing and made even visiting the site to do normal posting feel bad. There was theoretically no "quota", but I recall topics shaming people for not doing enough work on the mod boards. Devin took the job very seriously, I guess that worked out alright for him. --- pastaman44 - I can't think of anything to say.
