One thing I've always wondered, is whether moderating a forum like HN (or any forum, really) is mentally stimulating enough to do day in and day out.

As a web developer, the more I do the more I crave novel challenges. Writing CRUD apps or getters and setters gets old fast.

Are there novel challenges with content moderation?

Novel challenges? Feigning impartiality when the topic being discussed impacts a YC startup is up there.

Risking violation of "don't feed the trolls" here to reply: that seems unnecessarily harsh. FTR I'm not downvoting you any further, but responding in case you have more specific and articulate criticism to level.
