the six mods don’t get paid for moderating: they dedicate their free time to moderate this large community. this forum offers a lot of ways for the mentally ill to express themselves, even through music, art, and poetry; and the moderators freely allow such diverse forms of expressions. but whenever a expression is flagged, the moderators selflessly intervene to protect others, even if that suspicious expression does not relate to a moderator personally. they give warnings and advertise the community rules. the mods have great patience and understanding here. but if those warnings or advertisements are not heeded, then they take necessary measures for the greater good of the community. even after a ban, they leave a reason as to why the ban happened. not many other communities operate in this sympathetic fashion. so I believe the moderators moderate very well here.
it disheartens me to see that the mods are occasionally cursed at and verbally abused as a whole, even through thread titles. the mods here endure a lot. it is hard not to admire them.
