Idk, I never really much bothered entering the male viera thread, so I wouldn't know. Pretty sure mods here don't really check much outside of reports, and even those they kind of ignore, likely because there's so many. It was likely one mod doing a lot of the moderating back whenever they did do it, and then life got the better of them and moved them away from moderating. People say they get paid to mod this site, but I am not so sure.

I mod the FFXIah site, and like... reports there are always people trying to just have authority ban or otherwise get opposition to shut up. It's silly, mostly, so I wind up not actually doing very much in the way of punishing people. Of course, that situation is rather different. I also had no access to the site, a year or so after becoming a mod, for like a year and a half. It was due to some error in the site code that wouldn't allow me to login. By the time I was able to get it fixed, I hadn't moderated anything in so long, that I kinda forgot the ruleset. Now people don't take my moderation very seriously, so I only really get the worst offenders. Of course, I don't get paid to moderate at all, so I only do it when I can manage to, anyway.
