I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
I'll never see a tree at all.

When can you start training as an editor please? It usually takes 3 - 5 hours of online training before you become productive but that varies on the individual. As we have already disabled your original account for moderation abuse you will have to create a new one with a permanent email address. Although all work is voluntary it does include weekends.
Several editors would appreciate a break but without a replacement it is not possible.

So this is how it is going to be, eh? Beatings will continue until morale improves?
Moderation abuse, huh? You mean, someone modding down psychopaths like Runaway, or idiots like khallow? I have always been amused that the admin could so flippantly talk of "moderation abuse" with no criteria, though it seems vaguely biased against left leaning political views, who might downmod racists and fascists. And you think that disabling a soylentils account is going to encourage them to join your alt-right cabal? Right.
Some wish to help by getting you to recognize the right-wing slant of the site. This is the problem with Tech, and especially IT: They think they are so smart, and so objective, that they just cannot see the racism and misogyny of their worldviews. No wonder janrinok is so deeply disturbed by aristarchus, to the point of launching an indiscriminate barrage of spam mods at any AC that might possibly be the White Whale. Sad thing is, the disabled account most likely is not even the one janrinok is addressing, and aristarchus is all up in his feed.
"Permanent e-mail address"? What is that? AOL? Hotmail? Something "real"?

Poor baby, can't even follow the actual topic. Dementia? Just old person crotchety? Still confusing who is who? Depends?

That nerve's bame? Exasperation. Not my fault you can't stay on topic. After enough of your shifting goal posts to ignore topics mockery is all that remains. Grow a spine and stop avoiding, maybe with a better attitude you'll find it easier to recruit volunteers.
