The power trips that some people have over video games that let people enjoy jerking off more are ridiculous man.
I remember back in the old days I ran a forum for a hobby of mine (model rockets) with some friends and we got bigger than expected and it was hard for us to keep up with the moderation. We had been talking about asking for people to volunteer as moderators until one of my friends said "the last thing you want as a moderator is somebody who WANTS to be a moderator."
So we ended up just picking a couple really prolific posters who spent most of their time helping people out anyway and said "hey how'd you like to be a mod?" and it worked out really well. They got a fancy badge next to their name and their job was to keep the peace and make sure nobody was rude to each other, and to occasionally post deals from partners or hobby sites if we got them in. That was it.
If somebody ELSE posted the deal first, who cares? The point was that the guys on the forum knew about the deal and could go get it.
The only rule we really had was "don't be a dick" and you'd be surprised how many things that covered.
Shut the forum down a few years later when we didn't have time to moderate it anymore but that lesson stuck with me. Nobody who wants to run shit should really ever be allowed to run shit. Much better to have a site like this where people felt the need to start their own site out of obligation rather than desire.
