Well to answer your last question I cant commit to being a mod. So that’s not possible on my part.

To answer your first question, I feel like I am getting a ton of value from this sub for free. And while that’s all fine and dandy for us users, I know a lot of work goes on behind the scenes running this operation.

From moderating posts, deleting repetitive content, putting users in check for abuse, and on and on all that goes on their own time and not a dime for any of that (on the front ends at least).

When I receive a ton of value from anywhere and not just for free I and many others like to show appreciation. Out of our own time and resources. You don’t have to. Actually this has nothing to do with you. But I see you’re being very skeptical and that’s okay. You may understand from this response you may not. But that doesn’t really matter.
