　│To my surprise, an elderly moderator for GUROchan has returned after 
　│nearly 2 years of absence
　│I was sure he was dead (;ﾟ∇ﾟ)
　│
　├■Must have been one hell of a fap (ﾟ∇ﾟ)

　├■User: antonymous
　││Is moderating gurochan any easier than heyuri?
　││
　│├■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

　│　　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
