The good side of the community that uses the Classic section has already stated they like me and support it, what's the point of hiring a moderator that isn't suppose to do anything?
It's more of a benefit to the community by making it a more enjoyable place than to let the bad apples ruin it for everyone. I don't see how this is even debateable, I'm not sure how often you browse the Classic section but moderation is definitely needed there.
I'm not here to get into any arguments so I'm going to leave it at that, whether you think it's a good choice or not isn't going to change much so there's no sense in debating this back and forth.
