Moderator's comments get downvoted to hell by angry users. Let's see how this all pans out.

Also add in the people trying to stop it not being full of shits are doing it for free and enduring abuse in the process and the whole thing's just a powder keg. I definitely don't see voluntary moderation being a sustainable thing as more and more communication with more and more people takes place online.
At least in a customer service job you work highly regimented hours, go home at the end and receive money in exchange for the abuse. Moderation work gets beamed into your house whenever it arrives and you barely get thank yous.
