[suchmoon]

I'm sure theymos would of addressed this long ago.

It seems he just did... better late than never. Good luck cleaning up those ANNs and bounties

Now I've seen the darkness on the other side. Its not good guys, and I have a much higher respect for those that volunteer their time to deal with other users reports.

Also, RIP inbox

It would be better if we could have the same system with default trust members

Why do you try and derail every thread into an off-topic discussion about DT?

That's his MO. I have him on my ignored list.

They're not 'fired' per se, but as with most staff if you become inactive after x amount of time you usually have your mod status removed. Grue and Salty haven't really been active moderating for quite some time and both their mod payments have been zero for the past two months and grue's even longer than that, so that means they handled zero reports and probably why they were de-modded.

So does this mean mods get paid per reports they handle or do they get paid IF they handle reports? I wasn't aware that such a system was in place.

Staff don't get paid per report per se, but there's a payment algorithm that takes several factors or 'mod actions' into account, but only theymos knows what those are so staff can't game it. Obviously handling reports will be one of the main factors and probably moving threads/deleting posts will also likely be counted in some capacity. Payments are capped though, so even if I spent 24/7 on the forum handling reports it wouldn't go over a certain amount (and if you check the mod payments over a few months you should be able to work out roughly what those limits are).

You know a lot about this even after being a non-mod! And how do you track mod payments!!

I'm not sure if this was sarcasm or not. But, thats hilariousandco's alternate account. He's a global. You can easily track mod payments by looking at the address that they have on their profiles. Its really not a lot.

You're talking to hilariousandco's alt account, a Global Moderator.
I've read about tracking Mod payments before, probably just through the blockchain. You can find some of the addresses used by the forum, then simply follow the money.

^ what this guy said ^

[siddartha1492]

Ah OK. He is an alt. Didn't knew that. Also didn't knew that tracking payments is so easy, at least for you guys. I'll try to track too and see how much moolah these mods make!!!

[Welsh]

Yeah, its easy to track their payments. However, note that some moderators might not have an address listed or they are using a private one instead of the one listed on their profile. There's several reasons why they might have done this. Its also optional for a moderator to receive payment, and I'm not sure if any of them are doing this, but its certainly an option.
