That still doesn't answer the question — as soon as my forum gets popular, I can't moderate anymore? Do I limit the number of users so that I never hit these metrics?

If I'd have to be non-profit (which doesn't mean no ads, by the way), then this kills a lot of business models.

Right. After certain revenue or certain viewership or commercialization you have new responsibilities.
