Moderating a medium to large sub is a thankless task. I moderated a sub with 100,000 subscribers for a couple of years. Most of the work was removing obviously bad content. There was a user who would make a new account every few weeks, post various comments to make it legit, and then start posting legitimate comments with links to hardcore pornography disguised as normal links. Users once rebelled because I removed 100% illegal content. Users and mods on the subreddit started to get hit with SLAPP lawsuits at one point. I was always very careful to hide my real identity but that was the final straw. I stepped down from modding shortly after. Modding is a near impossible task and as a subreddit gets bigger it gets exponentially harder.
