　││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)
