>>84456354As a mod, I'd imagine they're harder to manage, and a vocal amount of users hate them.
Some times they're too fast, sometimes they're too slow, sometimes they post things that aren't related to the board/thread, often they may bump other things off the board while lasting for days, sometimes things just get weird and wild.
Sometimes they form their own little clique that discourages easy entrance from someone just wanting to talk about the show. Sometimes they don't, but to the outside seeing them doing their own thing, it looks off and makes them feel like they're discouraged entrance.
Sometimes they get circlejerky, going into off-topic tangents to discuss unrelated stuff, and then repeating stuff ad infinitum, and it annoys people who just want to talk about the show or at least something related to the show, or it annoys people who don't care about the show but keep seeing these people talking about the same, random, stupid shit every day.
Sometimes they're made specifically to annoy people who don't like the thing, or sometimes people just get sick of seeing the same thread.
So mods have to deal with trying to moderate the same type of general, trying to moderate the people complaining about the generals, and that's along side everything else. In the end, they probably find it easier to just ban a general than trying to keep up with it and whatever flak they get, and with some examples you can't blame them, while with others you question their methods.
But I digress.
