that's probably isnt their day job they mostly moderate in their free time is my best guess
They don't.
In fact most of the forum moderators you'll run into out there are volunteers who have normal lives and day jobs and stuff to deal with.
If you were on the Kerbal Space Program forum from mid 2013 to mid 2015 or so, I was one of their moderators. It is an exhausting and thankless job, dealing with brats who think they don't have to listen to you because your rules are too strict and they can do whatever they want.
And I can tell you it completely ruined the game for me. Between the drama of moderation, the politics of being on the inner circle between community and devs, and just the overall grind of constantly dealing with bad characters, I literally cannot enjoy KSP anymore. Completely and permanently ruined it for me.
