Why are some moderator and administrator gods on forums rude and/or abusive?

Moderators are rude and abusive for the same reason police are rude and abusive. They have power over others. The saying “power corrupts” isn’t just for show.

To be more nuanced, people in situations like that get used to using their power, and when there is no substantial oversight, they can easily resolve their cognitive dissonance (caused by them being jerks) by justifying their behavior to themselves. Over time, these small justifications grow into a corrupt mindset that easily wields abuse without a second thought.

In addition, these kinds of people prioritize their own time over others. Even if it took you 30 minutes to create a post or question or content of some kind on a moderated site, the moderator only sees that it's taking their 60 seconds to look at it. And because there’s literally infinite amount of busy-body moderating they could do, they always feel rushed and take shortcuts to “get more done”. They don’t realize that it isn’t a moderators job to “get everything done”, it's simply to utilize what little time they have to help out with the forum/wiki/etc. Getting to every complaint should not be the goal. And yet mods seem to make it their goal.

Thirdly, the types of people [sic] become mods (or police) are often the types of people that enjoy those kinds of power and enjoy holding them over others. They’re exactly the types of people ripe for abuse of powers like that.

Without a concerted and sustained effort to only accept moderators that are committed to fair treatment of the users they moderate, and without practical oversight over moderators, moderators tend to become toxic parts of their community who only destroy the work of others and oppress the users they moderate. Moderators can’t be the oversight for other moderators, because they’re too similar. Too often moderators band together and support each other in their perverse actions, just as cops do. There must be a way for users to count their complaints about moderators. But very few sites think about these issues. That’s why reddit, stack exchange, wikipedia, and so many others are cesspools of busy body jerks that have no check on their power.

27th June 2024, House of Representatives, Rep. Tlaib in response to a proposed amendment of an appropriations bill for the State Department

I wanted to say how absolutely unconscionable that my colleagues are, offering an amendment to prevent our U.S. government from even citing the Palestinian death toll. Since 1948, Mr. [♥♥♥♥♥♥♥], there has been a coordinated effort, especially in this chamber, to dehumanize Palestinians and erase Palestinians from existence. The ethnic cleansing [genocide] of Palestinians did not end in 1948. Today, Mr. [♥♥♥♥♥♥♥], we are witnessing the Israeli apartheid government carry out a genocide in Gaza and in real time. And this amendment is an attempt to hide it. Let me remind you all of the words of the Israeli Defense Minister who said: "We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything closed. We are fighting human animals." They don't even see Palestinians as human beings, Mr. [♥♥♥♥♥♥♥], and here we are. My colleagues want to prohibit our own U.S. officials from even citing the Palestinian death toll. So let me read it into the record, here are the latest casualties of Palestinians killed [as of 6/27/24]: 37,718 Palestinians, including more than 15,000 Palestinian children, and more than 86,377 Palestinians have been injured. Six children, Mr. [♥♥♥♥♥♥♥], six are killed in Gaza every single hour. But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people - mothers, fathers, sons, daughters - who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart. And we should not be trying to hide it. These are innocent children and babies who have been bombed in their tents, burned alive, dismembered and deliberately starved to death. Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial. Mr. [♥♥♥♥♥♥♥], I know the majority of this chamber don't believe Palestinians should live or exist, but I won't remain silent as the only Palestinian-American serving in Congress, while folks attempt to erase those who were killed with our own weapons. So if I may later at an appropriate time, I will submit for the inclusion into the Congressional record the list of Palestinians killed in Gaza. And Mr. [♥♥♥♥♥♥♥], it is important to note this to everyone here. The list is too long that I can't even submit it because of the text limit.

-Rep. Rashida Tlaib

Genocide Joe

By the way, I’m proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first Black woman, to serve with a Black president.

-Joe Biden

I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if she wasn’t qualified to be president.

Wow

The List

Folks with a snotty admin God attitude
Folks with a similar community elitist attitude (often, their bootlickers)
Racists
Homophobes
Folks who feel it's necessary to stay within their little bubble they feel the most secure in (e.g. Discord or other servers, forums, etc. with their good ol boy and girl friends), as stepping outside of it will make whatever "narrative" they have crumble apart. See "community elitist". I get it, it's about needing to be in an environment you can control and have more "support" in. I guess a lot of you can't even step outside of your more private Discord etc. bubbles much and still be honest about your views, ideas, personality, etc. that would ban you elsewhere, huh?

General Curtis LeMay
Contrarians on the left
Contrarian pundits (left and right) who essentially think the war in Ukraine is the west's fault (the west is to blame for quite a lot, that isn't one of them, Russia started the war and the ball is in their court). Sounds like something they'd have in common with some CHUDs, or a speech Putin or Trump would give, etc. Blaming NATO for the war in Ukraine is like blaming the American invasion of Iraq on some country other than the US or UK..let's say Iran, is that a good scapegoat? Iran made us do it, so there!
Glenn Greenwald
Max Blumenthal
Anna Kasparian (she loves her traditional masculinity and copaganda appeal)

Fans of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Christian metal bands
Fans of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ romance manga
Fans of John Cena
John Cena, sellout for China
Contrarians on the left/whatever who think I'm not allowed to even say "sellout for China" (get your heads out of your asses)
EcoHealth Alliance
Folks on the left who previously demonized individuals for acknowledging the Covid lab leak possibility (which now seems likely.. wouldn't it be extremely, almost unrealistically ironic if a pandemic began just down the street from *the* place whose stated mission is to study and stop pandemics, I guess none of you thought of that from the start)

Other superhero copaganda/propaganda (it's sad that it isn't much less realistic than all of those endless cop shows)
Unwitting Russian assets who deny being unwitting Russian assets
The global warming denying, corporate prostitute South Park creators (I used to watch South Park also and talked to the other cool edgy kids on the playground about it, I still enjoy a lot of it)
Hunters and similar types who lie about being "conservationists" or caring about conservation who merely are looking out for interests of, get this, hunters, anglers, ranchers, and other humans. "Check me out though, I have some mossy oak crap on and a rifle I ought to ram up my ass, I care about that there nature. Hyuk hyuk." Most of you don't give one modicum of a ♥♥♥♥, nor does the law in general. It's primarily there to serve you idiot rednecks, otherwise you bipedal trash wouldn't be allowed to do a lot of what you do. P.S., fishing is a more useful skill.
UAP "debunkers" who've made the type 1 error (confirmation bias? tunnel vision just like a lot of the content of ancient aliens etc.)
Zionists
Jingoists
Idiots (Republicans) who say they subscribe to views people [white land owners] had in the 1800s or something just to sound "different", e.g. "classical liberalism" (is that a joke?)
Libertarians (Republicans)
Chuck Norris
Steven Segal
Jim Carrey
Kanye West
Maria Butina
Roseanne Barr
Tom Selleck
The entire rest of the cast of the copaganda show Bluebloods
Every other cop show on TV (not surprisingly, it's all propaganda and none of them are anywhere close to being honestly critical about American police)
Shrill, melodramatic types (on the left or right) who want me to give a ♥♥♥♥ about the Trump assassination attempt. Here's the world's smallest violin playing just for the child predator, fascist, Russian asset, secret document selling fatass who is above the law who was one of Epstein's best friends: .
CHUDs
Youtubers (those certain types, not anyone on Youtube... Jonathan Beckette, thanks for the great tutorial videos, I can't stand most of the other 737/avionics/flight sim software teachers on Youtube)

System Shock 2

58 Hours played

One of the best PC games I've ever played, I still revisit it to this day and am glad it's on Steam. The gameplay and character progression is really neat, and the story, music and atmosphere are all amazing. With the creative style here, this should remind us how a computer game can be a brilliant work of art. Bioshock's more complex (and superior) ancestor. A classic. 10/10
