I don't really want to, but it doesn't have any mods currently.

I have some expertise with spiders and would rather stick to doing just IDs, but since there is no mod maybe it's good to have a contingency plan in case some spam turns up ... or to delete the classic "it's a brown recluse" comment ... when it's any brown spider.

But I'm happy to concede to anyone else that actually wants to be a mod.

Typically posting a correction is enough. You can also warn the user, something like this:

[Speaking as a mod] When joking or memeing, please say so in the post/comment of the joke/meme. I get that it spoils the fun, but it's better than getting someone hurt - brown recluses are spiders of medical significance after all.

Most users are surprisingly reasonable if the mod is reasonable with them.
