I was a moderator on a web forum many years ago. I also had my own forums for a while. Some of the stuff that people would post probably scarred me for life. It was a time when things like rotten.com and goatse were popular. I can only imagine what it's like now on a big web site like reddit where they probably have a lot more traffic.

Right there with you. I moderated on Gaia Online back in the day, and every now and then someone would get their jollies off by posting gore and CSAM. And of course, the mod team would have to clean it up because that’s what they do.

I actually had a better time modding on Reddit. At least no one posted CSAM once a month.

Though Reddit is the place I ended up modding a video that fucked me up for a little while…

Im afraid to ask but also don’t wanna look it up. What’s happened to the mister‘s hands ?

Nothing, his hands were fine, he was just horsin’ around.
