I guess there is a possibility that there is a bad apple in the bushel. You know that, I know that, what is unknown is whether it is going to be many or not even 1.
The evidence indicates the majority who have ever moderated did not do it for the strange reasons you elaborated previously. Otherwise FlyerTalk would be an entirely different place than it is.

Could equally apply to
everybody who is a current Talk Board member or moderator. To imply the opposite is IME an incredible leap of faith.
