Yeah, but think of all the petitions for stuff like a cucumber emote and deleting posts. Although I personally think the idea of a cucumber emote is extraneously stupid, good parenting is not always saying 'no' and that's what the old MB mods did.
I'd agree. Good parenting isn't always saying no, but it is about making sure that healthy behaviors are developed, and that's a very difficult thing to do considering the Mods had to maintain the behavior of an entire LEGO community. I would hypothesize that most times they said no because if they let one user do something, they would have to let every user be able to do it, and depending on the request, it might hurt the community. We won't actually know since there are rare times they said yes, but I would guess that they didn't want to take big risks.
Yep, there is a lot to consider in saying yes to a whole community, but I just got the idea if the mods had any personal interest in the old MBs, they would have really gotten into it like the mods on here.

I understand what you mean, though I think they had great personal interest in the MBs, especially in the year 2015 and before. I think we saw less interest from the mods in 2016 up to the closure of the LMBs, and I have some ideas why, but I won't say them because it's really just speculation and every time I think about it, I feel like it'll go into a debate.

Because you just said that, I'm going to add a cucumber emote.
