>My views on such leadership are pretty cynical though not quite hopeless no reason to exist. As I said before. I feel no urge to abuse my power.
a captain cannot lead the boat if there are no people who row in it. This means that the less people, there are less chance to fuck it up because there is no one to control nor moderate nor even having an influence for having more power. Sure, I could claim the ownership of dozens of boards on this site but here it´s is the catch: why would one be interested in owning a piece of literal void where no one appears? I would invest my time on other things rather than owning them. For /endpone/, it´s a different case that could have been qualified as those board but two/three crazy users decided to see what could happen next.

One year and a half later, here we are.

>I look at the more questionable choices of the mods from Ponychan to Derpibooru and think can't imagine doing it. Then I remember that most of those very same people were once ordinary folks such as myself.
at least you acknowledge their mistakes and it´s a sign of being prepared for it. Howe,ver moderating is not an easy task and it can become quite nightmarish in the blink of an eye, stepping down because it gives too much trouble, the bad outweighing the good.

>I can't see it down in the depth of my soul I presume that corruption is something that could befall me just as them. Obviously their are exceptions and people who just exercise their power in a few pet peeves and are otherwise fine in the roll but I'm completely new to this and have not gone through the test of time.
eh, maybe it´s not all that bad.There are some people who don´t take it all that seriously or there have been people in the past that have had dedicated lives for the power and have stayed mostly the same. I think that everything comes to a matter of handling decisions whenever the problem comes. That´s most likely the biggest challenge that one can take from it. Or at least, that´s what I believe. Anyway,I will understand those mistakes because I have gone through there as well for a while.

>Truth be told, however long /endpone/ lasts I don't see myself being corrupted in this role. Not really much power in the grand scheme, even if there are some who go crazy with what little power they do get. As I have mentioned before, I maybe in a position of worse responsibility than this anyway...
if /endpone/ doesn´t thrive nor gets truly popular with a huge influx of newcomers, everything will stay mostly the same, not to mention that you could ask for other MLP fans to do it instead if that hypothetical case actually happened.

If you want to have a little sense of relief, look around the board list. Almost all the boards are claimable yet no one has been interested in them. Don´t forget that MLP is also a community, so there are far less chances that someone hostile comes around unless it´s about fandom drama that causes the board to implode (season 3 era).
