Dang is one of the most efficient mods on the internet. Not to place him on a pedestal too much but he's a pretty incredible individual when it comes to running

  having run BBSs and personally moderated chat for years on a poker site, I can tell you I would run out of patience much, much faster than he does with any of the multifarious horseshit that springs up on something this size on a daily basis. Dude's basically a saint. I'm not helping here, either. I know. Let me tell a side story instead. When I was a kid in LA, there was this coffee house that had 6 tables inside, shotgun sized place, started by a guy and his sister who moved from Oklahoma City with the eventual intention of starting tiki bars. When they got successful in the bar business, they were about to shut down the coffee place. But it was an all night joint - I was working there a few nights a week, and mostly I would play chess or cards with the regulars when I didn't have to get up and serve coffee. People were really distraught that it was being shut down. One of the regulars, a guy named Jeremy, bought it. Didn't make a dime. Just wanted his place to come have coffee and cigarettes all night. And he knew how to keep people in check, which is what you need to run any good establishment. This is a bit like that.
