How do moderators get paid?

Seems like they have to be online quite at lot and that there's a lot of them. With all this work, what's in it for them

They get €100 cash in hand every time someone asks a silly question

Annual boat party with hookers and coke.

Infamy and social status amongst the Irish online community. And a character reference from Dav if you appear before the courts. Like those two lads who were before the judge yesterday in relation to hacking the FG website. Their work as boards.ie moderators really helped them avoid a prison sentence.

They make babies cry on the internet, there is a HUGE market in East Asia for baby tears and this is how they make their money and go on to become billionaire playboys/girls. There are mod chapters all over the world where they share their connections in the baby tear market but you need to know the secret handshake to get in:(

I'd wager that they don't have to pay for anything at a boards beers.

As a mod previously, you can get paid by Paypal or Bank Transfer.

Payment for me was based on the traffic directed towards the forum and my 'online' time. It usually came to around €100 per week. However during the really busy winter period i could get up to €400 p/w.

Not worth it though so i quit.

Even if that's just Coca Cola, that sounds class.

They don't.
Unless you count the tears of people that bitch at them

Which means, after 11 years, I'm freakin' loaded!

I'm also a coke and hooker addict.

Internet points.

warnings are €1
infractions are €5
Forum bans are €10
if the person is then given a site ban you get an extra €10

However most of that money is used for either rehab or STI treatments after ya know all the coke and hookers. The kicker is boards actually runs these places too so its a vicious circle

I do it for the betterment of Boards.ie, and in turn, all of humanity. Material wealth does not drive me.

I wouldn't get out of bed for less than 100 silly questions per day!

Yeah, but it's a bit of a bitch having to drive in the Boards HQ for clocking in and out.

Us Hmods get higher wages though, so it kinda makes up for it.

Sexual favours.

I'd wager if you tried to buy them a beer they'd hand you a yellow card for backseat pint buying.

If you bought them a cheap beer or as was recently discussed a budweiser,I'm sure they would.

I reckon it would be more like the FF tent at the Galway Races, whereby Wibbs(for example) would talk to you about an outstanding red card infraction,and he can make it go away,"lets chat over a Johnny Walker Blue".
They seem like a very seedy group.

We get paid into our bank account on the last working day of every month like everybody else. Gross wages €45k and free unlimited hookers, coke (and beer) at every mods beers. Don't tell anybody about this because most of us do not declare the BIK on this...

I do it in hope that some day a hot girl will sleep with me (or just any girl really).

As a former mod of two forums, I still enjoy my pension of one hooker a week. Although due to cut backs, the coke has now been replaced with a bottle of Cavan Cola.

And here's me thinking that the Internet Fairy just brought the cash and left it under the mod's pillows while they were sleeping in exchange for a computer printout on how many people they banned that week.

I do it for the love of boards...and the coke and hookers.

It was close once but then she turned out to be a boards mod too.

No way I'm sleeping with a boards mod.
Even I have standards.

I think you're right , I think I heard one of the Mods tied his ass to a tree and walked into Dublin , first mention of elasticity in Boards.

Little known fact. Every time a Grammar Nazi or a Language Policeman has to be brought back into line the Mod gets a bonus. So please start pointing out errors in grammar and spelling to add something to their meagre income.

The boat was taken away from us, the coke and hookers keep us going though until we get the boat back.

We get these tokens for moderator actions, a warning nets us one and a ban gets us three for example. We can exchange them at moderator events for things. I'm saving up for a life-size cardboard cut-out of Clancy Brown and a cake shaped like the character Man-At-Arms from the tv show He-Man.
