	The first sighting of any kind of moderating force on /tg/ was November 23, 2009, with the appearance of a janitor who deleted threads more according to personal preference than to board preference. It was chronicled in a short story, [[The Janitor\|here]], back before anyone had full news or understanding of what happened. Prior to the sudden attack, there really had been so little moderator presence on /tg/ that anons didn't believe a janitor had visited the board! It was such a controversial notion that anons posed a theory that people were deleting their threads to troll one another, helped by the fact that threads being deleted had always been considered /tg/-related in the past.

	Aside from having their own board, known as /j/, the mods also ~~like~~ to visit a newer board called /q/. /q/ has a few unique rules, such as that ordinary users ~~can~~'t delete their posts and that there's a long wait period between posting new comments. Tie this in to the fact that everyone ~~has~~ an ID when posting on /q/ along with the reality that 4chan's mods ~~are not~~ exactly the best and brightest users on the site, and you get a situation where the Wizard of Oz occasionally yanks his curtain aside during a stupid move.

	Generally, the mods ~~seem~~ to have their own culture, which ~~revolves~~ a lot around hating the 4chan userbase with an intensity only seen when an authority figure loses his ability to recognize the humanity of those he's been charged with presiding over. So the easiest way to recognize a mod is to look for vastly obnoxious, condescending images as well as pro-moderator, condescending rhetoric. Most of the time, the mods ~~have~~ no tact or shame when defending themselves, so if you find yourself talking to someone who feels the mods need more power to inflict more bans and that everything the mods do is justified, chances are you're talking to a mod hiding behind a fairly transparent mask.

	So far, it's the most succinct word we have from any mod that would explain /tg/ now compared to /tg/ years ago when /tg/ had more draw and writefags by population than any board. Supposedly, MQr operated on the /mlp/ board, raising hell and turning the board inside out for reasons only he fully fathomed. He became a board character as a result, "Scruffy the janitor", who was spoken of with much malignancy.

	NEWS FLASH: As of 9/18, Moot has announced that /q/ will be replaced with a "suggestion box". Exactly what good this will be when nobody ever listens to the suggestions is a mystery. The feedback page is now completely gone, but it's unlikely that they ever paid attention to it in the first place.

That "suggestion box" was /qa/, a board that was meant to promote new ideas for the boards, but is instead overrun by the latest infestation of the hour (i.e. ponies, [[/pol/]]). Like ever, if anyone actually paid attention to it, there was sure as hell no way to tell.
