Trash PDF moderation issues — again

I honestly don't get why it's such a huge deal to just bring on one or two more mods. You could either pick from the people who are always hanging out on that subforum, or, if there isn't anyone suitable there, maybe just grab some users from another PDF?
It's not like you're paying the moderators, so I assume increasing the headcount isn't an issue for financial reasons.
I just don't understand this self-sabotage where you're basically creating more work for yourselves. From what I can see, there are plenty of people on that PDF who would be happy to step up and help out. 🙂
If we are talking strictly about the headcount of mods, I wouldn't say anyone is missing. 😁
Honestly, just one single moderator could handle it without breaking a sweat—they'd just need to log in once a day, clear out the off-topic stuff, delete those massive image files, and give people a quick heads-up whenever they violate the garbage rules.
There isn't any deep philosophy happening there, no major drama among users, no intense debates... nothing of that sort.
I agree with Kovi on exactly one point, which is that the users are what actually make the PDF section what it is, not the mods. But man, let me tell you—anyone who actually had the energy to try and revive the PDF section ended up leaving because it's just exhausting reading through three pages of total nonsense, only to have some random, "funny" garbage post jump in right in the middle of a serious discussion about whether someone is actually okay or just underage. You need someone there to maintain order and clean things up, just to start with... then, eventually, the users will find their way back... 😳
