I'm not an accountant, therefore I don't have the foggiest idea how ledgers are intermingled:

Have to ask theymos on that. I'm guessing he used a single QT wallet for this...

I was replying to Phinneus's post when it disappeared.

I made an error. Sorry, bud.

But...reply to this one.

The payments started around April as I stated in my last post here.

That's the first payment if I'm not wrong.

Ok. Moderating a thread is now called "de-rippling" it.

"I think it's high time someone de-rippled this thread! Can we get a BFL spokesperson in here?"

I wonder if SMF supports word filters, to just change them automatically. And here I was, thinking we might not hit our drama quota for the month. Grin

Seriously though, I don't care who buys ads or for how much, people pay what it's worth to them. They aren't shares or anything, more or less in ad sales doesn't affect it.

I'm surprised that no one noticed this before now. Almost all of the moderators have addresses in their Bitcoin Address profile fields, and these addresses receive obvious, regular sendmany payments from addresses owned by me or the forum...

Moderators are not employees. They are not required to "behave professionally," and they don't need to help you with anything. The payments are a form of thanks for past actions, and they do not establish any future obligations for the forum or moderators.

John K. got $1,149. How do you sign up to be a mod!

Report many posts accurately, and write good posts. Mods are added infrequently, and only when needed. Also, as you can see, few mods make anywhere near that much.

BFL pays forum for ads and mods now get a cut of the ad revenue.

I'm gonna go ahead and use the word "BFL spokesperson" instead of "mod" in the future. Cool

"Someone call the BFL spokespeople. There is a scammer afoot."

"I think BFL spokesperson John did a great job cleaning up this thread."

"Just ask a BFL spokesperson to whitelist you."

It's gonna be great. Cheesy

I feel left out! Angry

That actually helps BFL by the way.

I'm not much for conspiracy theories, but it does seem like that would have been announced publicly so people would know that their advertising and donation "revenue" would be going to pay mods to censor them Cheesy

No donation revenues are being used.
Advertisers pay based on the value that they see in the forum and the returns. They pay for a fair price to get a good chunk of visibility in the Bitcoin community.

Bad theory.

Well that's weird.. I seem to remember Theymos using the "This forum is not a business" line a few times to excuse not making certain important features. If it's not a business, why does it have employees and income?

Employees? You're doing it wrong, Matt...

STFU and buy some more ads to badmouth Ripple. We need to get paid!
