In my experience, moderation can absolutely be harmful to the moderator's own mental health, because it involves removing the posts that aren't allowed. Porn, gore, insane political ramblings... a moderator is responsible for cleaning all that up. A 13 year old should probably not be doing it.

In my experience, it's 13-year-olds that are posting the porn, gore and insane ramblings in the first place.

It's also a volunteer gig. If it makes you uncomfortable, stop doing it.

There's also the occasional direct or thinly-veiled threats of death, doxxing, tyre slashing or public stalking for removing an off-topic post where subby knows better.
