I blame the complaints many of the MBers had for faster moderation. LEGO obviously changed the old-fashioned, half a day to a whole day wait for approving posts with the new MBs to appease the users. As Drew and Marcel pointed out, this meant hiring new mods, as well as adding that auto mod system. They eschewed quality for quantity, and the effects are still being reaped.
