      Shitposts often descend into a flurry of mod reports, and locking is the easy fix.

          Administration is a Sisyphean task for volunteers but you speak as if it’s a free resource.

          There’s a reason Wikipedia calls their admins “janitors”.

            So moderation is hard, so stop people from commenting on the platform entirely?

            If the administration team is incapable of moderating their space they should seek additional help or step down entirely

              Sounds like you’ve never had to be a moderator.

              This type of forum relies on volunteers. They are doing the best they can. I rarely see posts ever get locked. I’m sure this one was locked because it got out of control.
