Mods here work for free?

[SnoopCat]

anyone know if an Anandtech mod gets paid for their work? or are they volunteer people?

---

Yes, we are volunteers...

unless you are willing help by donating to the fund to meet our seven digit salary demands.

The really good mods get paid seven digits annually.
The cruddy ones have to sleep in cardboard boxes.

 

[Russ]

They get paid 100K per year. Leave your application at the front desk.

They live off the grief they cause to the users.

 

[dcpsoguy]

I think that the mods are volunteers. They dont get paid, I believe.

Too Bad they dont get paid ; They really do do a good job making the Forums at Anandtech the best place to be.

 

[Valhalla1]

know for fact that some are volunteer completely

almost positive that some are actually paid employees of anandtech however

And they will be by soon to collect a digit from you. Hand or foot it doesn't matter.

They should get paid for hours of hard work

They are volunteers, but it does have some perks.

Banning Saxman/formula/nefilicous, for instance.

Most work voulatarily (sp?) but some do get paied from what I have heard.

 

[AnandTech Moderator]

We are unpaid volunteers.

Our only compensation is the knowledge that we have been of service to the AnandTech Forums.

Please send contributions to moderator@anandtech.com.

(Just kidding, I swear, Boss...)

Yes.

 

[Optimus]

Russ forgot to mention the company Jaguar that goes with that 100k.

Yes, and now we need more cardboard boxes to use as a garage.

[nEoTeChMaN]

Do mods get commission for banning someone?

 

[UG]

They don't need to get paid. They already get all the chicks.

 

[Whitedog]

Why??? That's so freakin RETARDED!!!

:|

 

[ltk007]

If you mods set up a paypal account I think I'd donate a dollar

 

[GreenBeret]

The reason they ban people for such seemingly trivial offenses is that they collect money from bannees... at least that's why I'm broke.

 

[Whitedog]

It's probably just me, but I believe this Forum used to be a LOT more flexable than it is now. I think there is level of censorship to maintain, but hey, let's not get CARRIED AWAY NOW!

Whitedog:

You just misspelled 'flexible'. Okay, you're banned...

Awright awright, just kidding.
