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?

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.

I've seen several instances over the years. The one that stands out for me is a post about ICC suing a YC company. It was an astroturf-fest.

If you're going to make this sort of accusation, you should link to the thread so people can make up their own minds. With linkless insinuations, the actual story is usually significantly different from what is being insinuated.
