MODERATORS
 

To be clear, not talking about this community, obviously ๐Ÿ˜›.

What's the point of writing down rules, if mods just do what they want? But I suppose that's the risk you take when you call someone a liar in a small community; they might be a mod.

Edit: I'm not trying to say that mods suck, they perform a useful and often thankless job. Just that it can be difficult for small communities to get a healthy number of good mods, which can become a problem.

Often the mods are arbitrary and inconsistent. Moderation can really suck sometimes

Yes! I didn't wanna say mods suck. It is an important and often thankless job.

Just that small communities without many mods are at risk of getting a bad apple.
