Oh for sure, I think the only reason some communities are clean is because they aren’t that big yet.
I’ve only had a handful of threads spiral out of control, and it was a mess to clean up each one. The button to remove something is right next to the button to make someone a mod. Also once something is removed, it’s inaccessible to everyone including the mods. At one point I removed something and couldn’t ban the user because the comment was gone. It was a spam bot though so I got them a little while later.
Another issue: blocking users will block all their content, even if they post in comms that you moderate. So if you’re a mod you need to avoid the feature, otherwise the user that you blocked might go rogue in the comms that you mod and you’ll only see it after it’s too late.
