There are a few things to consider:
sift through all the underage and non adult industry posters and what would happen to the board if they were gone?? GFY needs the appearance of major hits to get funding / advertising
GFY is not a board that is known for its informative discussions and business related topics - if that were the case then the underage and non adult posters would be gone within a week.
What makes this board so successful is the diversity of posters and the overall shock value of posts you dont find anywhere else. As is apparent, you post an industry related article and the post count is low - yet you post it on another board that has more webmasters on it - and there will be major hits.
Lens is not stupid, "whoever has the hits has the power" and right now, Lens I dont feel cares where the hits come from, its in the overall power of hits this board produces that makes him the money and the idea that each page you hit is considered a unique hit with new banners.
Moderators would have to be respected and tolerant without playing favorites to anyone. I also dont think Lens wants to create a battle within his ranks if a moderator cancels someone then they go over his/her head to squeeze Lens into a favor.
Lastly , for what its worth, YNOT is not suffering in the least...I am a moderator on that board.
