The mod is a lazy POS. He will continue to contribute nothing to the household for as long as it’s tolerated. I hope he sees that post. Maybe that was the intent all along.

Also, I can see how “fake job” could be taken as rude, but why is it bannable to say mods “do it for free”? To me, that just seems like a statement of fact. They are unpaid volunteers, after all. Am I missing something?

The part you're missing is that "they do it for free" is an ancient 4chan meme.

The phrase is meant as an insult to mods, implying their life is so pathetic that they willingly do the (truly horrible) job of moderating 4chan without even asking for payment.

Thanks for sharing this. I would never guess there was 10 years old backstory to it.
