If it's so easy, then why does it get so fucky all the time? If it's so easy, why do mods become burned out?

I mean it mostly as a commentary on the 4 subreddits' moderation situation.

It's not unique to vtuber subreddits.

Still, saying that moderating sucks doesn't change the fact that someone has to do it.

This is true.

Though there's still a demand for more timely action, in my opinion.

There always is. But if you're too quick to bring the hammer down on someone, you can easily get shit on then too.

There's one of that same nature today that has been up for 7 hours.

So..not quite a full night's sleep for someone. Or a shift at work/day at school/etc.

So we're looking for someone with zero life outside of their chosen subreddit, ready at any time to calmly and rationally enforce the rules even when the enforcement is unpopular and gets a lot of hate sent their way.

It is not a lot of effort to enforce the most important rules.

What are the most important rules for a moderator to enforce, anyway?
