How Do You Handle Mod Burnout Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem?
Even the best moderators get tired. Do you rotate duties, enforce breaks, or automate certain tasks? What signs tell you someone needs a pause? I would like to know forum admins use to handle mod burnout.

I try to prevent burnout by setting clear boundaries and rotating responsibilities. Taking breaks, delegating tasks, and sharing moderation duties keeps energy levels sustainable. Checking in with the team regularly and keeping workloads manageable helps maintain focus, motivation, and long-term commitment.
