Indeed
The moderation on OTF needs to improve.

It would be nice, but most of us are too young for such a position.

"Most of us" That isn't all, people could still apply for the job and get it.
By "most of us", I mean that 99% of everyone on OTF is a teenager or younger. The adults who are still active could if they wanted to, but I don't see anyone stepping up to do so.

Aren’t u the guy trying to diddle md on the freaky thread?
Why would I donate my time for free helping a wealthy site who's rules I don't even agree with. The only reason I can conjure up in my head is some satisfaction of having power over others. And that's just not me

Yeah I agree that "bump" should be considered spamming. I don't know about other parts because I don't have a concrete estimation about the proportion of unnecessary threads.

Bumping a thread from 15 years ago without adding to it is spam, and you should receive some sort of punishment for doing so.
too little staff care
But realistically, chess.com is focused on chess, and not enough of the chess.com population even touches the forums, so it makes sense that the staff don’t really pay much attention to the social side of things.
Agreed.

Is that from actual studies? Or just speculation.

Just have a look around. Everyone on OTF for the most part is a kid. The adults that are old enough to apply for a moderator don’t want to.
You’re 12 or smth ;-;
The mods be slacking off, and I barely see any good moderation these days
It’s just the same mods moderating, just the same mods, just 3. Erik doesn’t even help his own site, he should help his own members, but nope, he gets off scot free, not experiencing the torture.
Most mods just silently moderate and don't say anything. I haven't had any bad experiences with support, but I've heard it takes a while for a lot of people, if they even get a response.
