Default modding the busiest forums

I was going to post this in the assani thread as it pertains to that to some degree wrt some mods getting jaded/burnt out/out of touch.


I think it's been noted that for busy forums, mods sometimes just get burnt out. It happened with [censored] for his first stint in OOT, and it's happened recently with Gild and 4Lyfe. Sometimes the constant aggravation gets too much, it appears.

And I for one would hate to see the current 4Lyfer mods getting burnt out too, for example, and want to see Dids, CC and 4_2_it around for a long time to come, but it's entirely possible they too might get burnt out over time.


I think for the busier forums it might be worthwhile considering something like a rota of modding. Two months on, one month off type of deal. That may also let the mods get back in touch with the fun of posting in these forums when they aren't responsible for examining each post etc.


This is just an idea, and not, IMO, something to be foisted on any mods, but an idea that they might want to consider and decide for themselves. I do think it might be a healthier for all involved to get a little respite in a planned way though.
