These were the complaints I heard about mods before the API debacle. After all the mods quit or got their 3rd party tools nuked, it was all complaints about repost bots not being removed. I've never been a mod, but you couldn't pay me enough to babysit thousands of angry dorks, much less get me to do it for free.
