Ideally, it would be because they care for the community they moderate, which I believe is the reason most mods do it.

Then you have creatures like awkwardtheturtle, who knows what motivates them.

I would assume Awkward is motivated by narcissism and/or because they're a power-hungry freakazoid, but who knows? 🀷

I learned if you Google "fertility doctors who used own sperm", there isn't one or two incidents. It's A LOT.

I don't understand why anybody would do such a disgusting thing. but it helps me understand narcissism and power hungry behavior.
