> This might not consume that much time and energy if the moderator does not feel the need to read every post. He could rely, to a great degree, on poster notifications as the primary route to be alerted to possible uncivil behavior. He could then read the boards at his leisure to help maintain the integrity of the forums.
1. That's what the moderator's been doing. And it seems some posters don't feel safe enough here.
2. The issue isn't the time and energy of the moderator. The moderator has been learning ways to cope and finding the time and energy to persevere.
