Title: Where is the Japanese forum?
Post by: Fwdxlsh on November 24, 2015, 08:00:04 AM
I noticed there was Chinese and Korean, but no Japanese.


Where is it....


Also, give me a list of some alternate Bitcoin websites. Also, do moderators get paid for their work?

Not sure for the local sections, it depends on the number of reported posts they process and the sections tend to be very quiet in some of those boards.
Higher level admins/moderators get a small commission for doing the work but I wouldn't say its a very large sum.

Does the website pay them their commission or do we pay them to moderate certain activities?

It's pro bono till you get to the staff level, to become a staff member you need to have a very high amount of reported posts, good accuracy in finding these type of posts and must do it constantly aka High Frequency of reported posts.

There is no place to apply for it directly, rather moderation is given to those who show up in Theymos top list for reported posts and offers to become a mod are related to good conduct here and duration of time on the forums alongisde the above criteria.

The money comes out of Donations advertising to the forum, from ages ago. Round 161 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1253630.0
The donate advertise button is the first ad you see when you scroll in any thread, the sponsored one.

The donate button on your frontpage beside search.
Moderators don't (IIRC) get paid from donations, but from the ad revenues .

Actually your right it is from ad revenues, the forum software was from the donation pool.
Had those two mixed up there thanks for the correction mexxer it's a page I haven't used in a long time so I didn't notice the Theymos note till you brought it up subconsciously :).

Appended here:

The forum sells ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page. About 25% of ad income goes to the forum moderators as thanks for all of their work. (There are many moderators, so each moderator gets only a small amount -- moderators should be seen as volunteers, not employees.) The rest is stored in the forum's treasury (verifiably (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155000.0)), where it sits until the forum needs it.
