MODERATORS
That predates the internet by a fair margin.
It was one of the early internet challenges. It was just renamed and popularized again in 2021.
I remember this becoming a thing at my jr high school in the late 80's in rural NV, well before there was any internet access in the town at all... this is nothing new.
