││Is moderating gurochan any easier than heyuri?

│├■User: kaguya
││ I don't have much to add, it's much easier ヽ(´ー`)ノ
││ There were some drama that was quite a bother when I took it, but it's
││ not a problem anymore. Some of the worst "moderation" things that I had
││ to go through were
││ - a llama spammer, back when kokonotsuba didn't have a global ban system
││ it was fux0ring bump orders
││ - spending several hours to clean mediawiki bot accounts
││ - a s*yjak spam that wiped off main /g/ board (we used this opportunity to
││ migrate back to vichan, since it's a little less bad with huge boards)
││ - another s*y botspam that took us hours to clean. When a spam is from all
││ different IPs, it's very bothersome to delete on Vichan unliek koko (´Д`)
││ - as mentioned, n00bs misusing report system/sending meaningless reports.
││ Here is a little peek: https://up.heyuri.net/src/2990.jpg
││
││ The only real problem is the CP bot, which Heyuri and GC don't get as bad as
││ other imageboards thx to filtering link shorteners ヽ(´ー`)ノ
││
│└■Not kaguya, but I assist with moderation over there sumtimes (when the CP
│ bot strikes here, it usually strikes there and other sites at the same
│ time)
│
│ There (currently) seems to be much less in the way of "meta disputes" on
│ gurochan since the material deemed acceptable & unacceptable over there
│ is a lot more clear cut, and most users are just peacefully posting
│ images
│
│ Trying to play community mediator, trying to put out fires while blindly
│ stumbling across minefields, warding off undesired posts/users while
│ trying to keep the desired kinds, find a balance/compromise between two
│ camps of users with opposing opinions, etc. is by far the most
│ exhausting and miserable part of internet moderation, and that's
│ unfortunately a lot of what Heyuri moderation entails (;´Д`)
│
│ On top of that, the whole of gurochan doesn't appear to get as much spam
│ as Strange World alone does... but what they do get is report spam
│ (seemingly random on-topic posts getting reported for no reason)
│ clogging up the report system. Heyuri avoids this issue through the
│ powar of not having a report system ヽ(´ー`)ノ

└■Must have been one hell of a fap (゚∇゚)
