I come from a long line of moderators. My grandfather started moderating on a message board called Usenet even before reddit was created. He had a reputation for being swift with the banhammer - but fair. Many men feared him but even his biggest adversaries will admit he made the Internet a safer, kinder place.It's just really common to see this archetype of mod/wannabe mod whose entire persona is just talking about banning people, being banned, etc etc. They're viscerally attached the the action of moderation.
My grandfather was able to use his connections and experience to jumpstart my father's career as a forum moderator. My dad's claim to fame was patrolling and filtering Yahoo Answers and GameFaqs. All of my uncles moderated various websites and forums throughout my childhood from IRC to AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Even though I was practically born into it and trained by the greats I can safely say that moderating reddit is a job I do not take lightly and I am so grateful to have the opportunity.
