there are some good people here who whould be great mods but they get in there and suddenly want to leave. What is going on?
Are the posters hard to handle? Good grief.
Obviously, I have not been a moderator here but I have on other boards and even worse I was a fantasy football commissioner for over 12 years. If it's anything like those experiences I can assure you it's a thankless job. You spend all your time dealing with whining and bitching. Everyone has a legitimate complaint now and again but usually there are a small handful that just never leave you alone and will raise all holy hell over the most minute little thing. It exhausts you after a while and one day you look at it and say "this isn't fun....why am I doing all this work for zero reward?" And that's pretty much the end of it.
Again, I don't know that that is the case here, but based on my prior experience in similar roles I would guess it's something along those lines.
It is at times Thankless.
