I just got shitcanned so I am free to be honest now and... most of the mods are actually really nice people. You wouldn't believe the crap that they deal with on a daily basis (especially when anything controversial comes up).

It's really hard to balance moderation when both sides are screeching at you about how shitty of a job you're doing. If you go too far one way, the other side gets pissed and vice versa. No making everyone happy, I suppose.
