Saying everything you do is wrong. Saying too much and not saying enough.

Moderation can be difficult. You have to consider everything you post, as anything you do can be used against you. Your actions must be just, and if they are wrong, to forgive them. I dont know what would happen if someone is suspected of mod abuse, but I definetly would not like to find out.
I also have to resist the urge to unban friends and others I know.

Although I must admit, being a forum mod would seem easier to me than being a group mod.

It is more personal, getting inside of your head. For some people, forums would be harder, since they have less time. But I am more free, so the time constraint isn't too much of an issue.

Wondering whether to ban, lock or ignore.

Time isnt the problem, but the rules. The rules here are definetly different than the rules of the paladins forums.

You mean that they are more strict, therefore it demands more attention?

Everything we say is a risk.
Be it even three, two or even one seperate or consecutive words can be used against us for the rest of time and can be continued to be used against us in anything we do.

To continue on what we were talking about.

"The thing about steam forum groups is that it's more of a family rather than a bunch of strangers glued together. The family is separated into smaller families who dislike or like other families or siblings. Because of this, if we were to remove a popular member, there will likely be severe backlashes unless of course, we give out enough good reasons. Unfortunately, even when given responses on to why they were banned/kicked, their friends would likely not rest easily and would demand them to be unbanned/reinvited.

However, if we were to listen to them, we would likely lose control and faith among the family if they believe what we did was wrong. We need to prove and show to everybody that we're strong and honourable to maintain a good reputation. Of course, things are much easier than that and I'm just complicating easy-to-do assignments. Why I believe in this is because of my past experiences as a mod/admin/leader. I must admit that I regret some people joining the group though they're not here and/or not that much of a problem now.

Global mods provably have it worse since they're dealing with the entire community. That's a lot of ire to collect.
