    I'd imagine so. It would not be secure/practical to have guest mods.

    Do you mean "Subscriber" rather than "Registered User"? If you do, the answer is no. Subscriptions are purely voluntary donations. It is probably true that many mods show their further commitment to the site by subscribing but there is no compulsion whatsoever to do so.

    Yes, and a subscriber is merely a "paying registered user" as opposed to "registered user"

    As was said, you don't need to subscribe to be a mod (assuming that's what you were asking) but if you subscribe then you get access to the super sekrit first class lounge and can chat openly with such celebrities as Gordon, Vexorg, the mighty cushion (or whatever he's called), smashey and me*...


    *may not be worth it

    We've been over this a dozen times. Extensive coke&hookers expense budget. But God be with whatever mod who tries to get himself a free lunch at Dev's expense...

    I would imagine it would be difficult to moderate a forum if one was not a registered user.

    Ah, should have said a subscribing user. :o

    You don't need to be a subscriber to be a moderator. But being a subscriber does not make your chances greater.

    Being fired implies you're being paid.

    Have moderators been removed for questionable antics? Yes.

    lawl - getting paid to be a mod, that'd be great! Back Dated of course...

    * calculates 6+ years of back pay + compound interest + disturbance money for dealing with tards + relocation money when we moved from Blacknight to Hosting365 and then Hosting365 to DigiWeb

    I reckon I'm owed *AT LEAST* 3 pints! :p
