No, Ofcource not.
It's good as it is now.
That explains the pages of ignored disputes and reports, right?
Im not sure if I want to agree or disagree.
I think the ones we have now need to do a little better job with the scammers section, but being paid might be over the top, even tho I believe sythes owner does probably make decent cash with ads on the site.

He does make decent cash and I'm not saying payed thousands a month, just enough to motivate them to do more work.
Sythe doesn't need to pay his Moderators.
He doesn't, but it sure would increase activity.
As much as I'd love to get paid, it won't happen.
We're supposedly content with the title we've been given, and since we're doing it for free currently, the future moderators will most likely do it for free as well.
But most moderators do a poor job or don't find enough time to really keep up with the reports.

Why pay people when they're willing to work for free?
Because the quality of the work will be lower when it is free.
I think that the Moderator are happy the way it is now.
They are, but they're slacking off.
People tend to do better work when they're paid for it, it's somewhat a motivator.
Mmmhmm.
I agree.
Well, if getting 'paid' is a motivator; then what kept them motivated, the time they were earning up to their mod position? No pay, is needed.

Go look at how many pages of unanswered scam/spam reports and disputes there are.
I lol'd. Seriously... 25 cents? Try like 2-3 maximum.
I said that was an example. Please read before you post.
Lol twc
Anyways, Sythe wants to make money. Not lose money. I say no. I'm sure the mods would like it but 'Richard' would disagree.
He wouldn't lose too much money over this, and I'm sure he would disagree too.
Whats Their Motivation?
Why should they any? I'm Sure Sythe himself chooses intelligent beings to watch over this site. I'm Pretty sure they do not need something to motivate them to do what they volunteered for.
Sythe Staff works for free because they want to. And you know whats stopping them for procrastinating? Getting fired.
They are intelligent but they have recently been slacking off. Go look at how much the "work" has built up.
I have to somewhat agree. It would modvate them more, and the scammer section is not getting delt with. I think we need 5-8 specific moderators just on the scammer report. Would help and improve a lot. Maybe it could be paid like this.
1 dispute taken care of = 5 cents
a Extra deal if they do 30 disputes in a day like = $5
I believe this can happen, because sythe the owner, receives a ton of money each month off ad revenue.
Either pay the current ones or double the staff number.
Moderators can easily get paid just by being an mm and that comes from the two traders. There are currently 2102 disputes in the archives and still in play. If the site paid moderators 25 cents a dispute the site would've owed its moderators $525. Or how about the combined scam/spam reports? If this was started with the site the 30,000 reports combined at 5 cents a piece would end up costing $1500. In one month the amount of reports/disputes would over budget the donations atleast 10x
Sythe doesn't use most of the money on this site whats left over after server costs is part of his income.
They can get paid from MM'ing but that cuts out their duty to take care of disputes and reports. $1500+$525 from threads that have built up. If they are taken care up in an orderly manner it would be much less every month, and my pricing was just an example. The website revenue is over $1000-1500 a month.
Woooh. That took a while to reply to.
