Hey, its a hard job, which is why I laughed darkly when I saw a mention on FFA that they'd sort if invited me to mod TF discussion. Oh hell no, I wouldn't want the job! But since my name was in your reply I thought I'd weigh in.
The hardest part IMO I'd probably going to be you learning what level of people judging *you* and what you do/n't mod. People WILL tattle to mods - and sometimes it will be TF or one of his defenders. If you have IP tracking on it can be helpful for that - you can identify trolls over time and be aware of tat tendency. But discussion/debate is important too, as is talking about things that are uncomfortable, personal, intimate and speculative. It happens.
You're clearly very receptive to feedback and obviously trying your damndest. Just take a deep breath. This comm is going to have growing pains like it found Leonardo Di Caprio in a dumpster (80s tv reference FTW). Figuring out how threads should work, modding issues, inevitable trolling and harassment. Most anon comms die off, usually pretty quickly. I think this one could make it, and be a useful resource for discussion and archiving. Just keep breathing.
