I saw pragmatic moderators, on Nival forum, and you are not one of them. No one is, in fact. Then again, they are ideal, we can't be that, can we? Haha.
Oh man, you just had to bring janitors into this, didn't you? What janitors do all over the world is extremely important to the daily grind of life. Without their critical cog, hospitals, schools, public offices, and many other important places would suddenly become very unpleasant places to be in. Others would even shut down subsequent to a janitor's strike. That is, if no other janitors were willing to walk the picket line.
All that is correct. But that is just what they do, and it is important, but it is also simple and it can be done by virtually anyone.
But, we can't live just off janitors. We need teachers in that school where the janitors work so that someone will teach the kids. Anyone can delete porn. It requires no brain work, it doesn't require any analysis, all you have to do is be at the point of spam committed, click a checkbox, and click delete threads or posts or w/e.
Moderating is another matter entirely, just as working as a police officer or a teacher is very different, and is located on a much higher level. Moderating requires reading every single thread and comparing it to rules every time. That's pretty time-consuming.
So what you really are is a police officer who took the mop and mops the floor, but when some criminal comes in and robs a bank, the police officer continues to mop the floor.
Like my analogy?

That may be, but who will ban me for saying that? It may even have been a joke.
My multiple deletions of bot porn threads today has all been for naught. Waaaaaa!
Spam is janitor work. Moderators work on active users, not on bots who come and go... you guys are not working. *looks at all the untouched threads, full of offtopic, flood, occasional flame, and at the users who cause it all*
No, but I punish people who break rules. On this forum, punishing people who blatantly break rules with post deletion and bans is considered "assholish". You should get the idea that this forum has close to 0 moderation at this time.
I mean, I beat my dad, then again, he's almost 50.
