but there's no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying until you run out of cake

EDIT: and to prometheus, I think it's a question of time and (at least in Achronos' place) money. Plus, it's really kind of an arbitrary position, based a lot on judgment calls, and it's hard to train that kind of thing. MHO only.
There's no money involved in moderatorship.
And how is it hard to train? Achronos doesn't have to do it directly; simply keeping tabs on them through the Master Forum Ninjas would suffice, no? Making sure they know the forum rules, and aren't prone to irrational behavior, should be satisfactory. Employers know new trainees will start relaxing their behavior once they get comfortable in their position. This is why they are strict and instill good behavior in the beginning of employement.
No money, except for Achronos. He's a Bungie employee, that why I added that "(at least in Achronos' place)" bit. I am ( I know,I know) assuming that keeping tabs on them is what he does already. And while what you say is valid in regards to instilling good behavior at the get-go, sometimes it doesn't stick, which is why he has to keep tabs on them. And as far as the actual training, his schedule is pretty full I'm sure, but if you want it done right... And again, so much of what they do can't be put in a manual. They have so many oddball instances that have to be made on a judgement call, that they have to have faith in the individual mods to do the right thing. But as was said before, trust is earned, not given. IDK, I guess there is no "perfect" solution, like the rest of life.
