Break Time!
Hey everyone, I'm taking a couple of weeks off from moderating here. My real job has me going 60+ hours per week, and I really need a break. It doesn't help that the attitude towards moderators throughout reddit in general is so negative. I moderate because I want to give back and help these communities thrive. I do not care about respect or validation, or being a boss or banning people or whatever. I just want to help nurture healthy communities in subreddits that cover subjects I care about.
See y'all in a couple of weeks. Until I return, our awesome mod /u/runningoutofwords is in charge.

Hell yeah, Jim's an excellent mod. Subreddit will be in good hands while I'm gone.

It's been in the 80's in Red Lodge but we drop to 50's and rain on Saturday.

Modding is thankless and there are lots of assholes doing it. Weird space. Have a great break. Touch grass!

People shouldn’t need constant moderation. Go do your thing. You can find way better ways to give back than this.

I moderate because I want to advance right wing narratives and misinform communities with the intention of spreading fascism.
I don’t even get paid for it, I just like helping the wealth class consolidate even more power!

If I get any sass out of you kids while the teacher is out, I'm going to toss you out to Mr. O-Shag-Hennessey's office, like I did with A-A-Ron.
