I totally agree with what you both are saying, the sub-board is more important than the moderator, why because without a sub-board the moderator will only have to delete, ban or lock post and not to move to anywhere (but can still move to other boards outside the L.B) so the sub-board is more important than the moderator, we should have the sub-board first before we can be ready to have a moderator, maybe a week or more, before we can get a moderator.
I think the two are important at the time like this. Both the moderator and the sub-boards are necessary now. We need the moderator (s) to clean the board from spam and shitposts. Therefore no one is more important than the other. All the two are pressing needs in the local board. The sub-boards are to divide the discussion according to their various section but the moderator will be working from all the sub-boards to make sure that all things are okay I'm the board.
Without a Moderator the main board will still have an issue like shit bitcoin Posts and low quality post. Op your effort is great and we pray the request is granted. And Moderator can move threads from o e board to another within the local board..
