Topic: Global Moderators fired? (Read 1524 times)
Yeah, its easy to track their payments. However, note that some moderators might not have an address listed or they are using a private one instead of the one listed on their profile. There's several reasons why they might have done this. Its also optional for a moderator to receive payment, and I'm not sure if any of them are doing this, but its certainly an option.
Ah OK. He is an alt. Didn't knew that. Also didn't knew that tracking payments is so easy, at least for you guys. I'll try to track too and see how much moolah these mods make!!!
You know a lot about this even after being a non-mod! And how do you track mod payments!!
You're talking to hilariousandco's alt account, a Global Moderator.I've read about tracking Mod payments before, probably just through the blockchain. You can find some of the addresses used by the forum, then simply follow the money.
I'm not sure if this was sarcasm or not. But, thats hilariousandco's alternate account. He's a global. You can easily track mod payments by looking at the address that they have on their profiles. Its really not a lot.
^ what this guy said ^ You know a lot about this even after being a non-mod! And how do you track mod payments!!

Its really not a lot. So does this mean mods get paid per reports they handle or do they get paid IF they handle reports? I wasn't aware that such a system was in place.
Staff don't get paid per report per se, but there's a payment algorithm that takes several factors or 'mod actions' into account, but only theymos knows what those are so staff can't game it. Obviously handling reports will be one of the main factors and probably moving threads/deleting posts will also likely be counted in some capacity. Payments are capped though, so even if I spent 24/7 on the forum handling reports it wouldn't go over a certain amount (and if you check the mod payments over a few months you should be able to work out roughly what those limits are).

It would be better if we could have the same system with default trust members
Why do you try and derail every thread into an off-topic discussion about DT?
That's his MO. I have him on my ignored list.
They're not 'fired' per se, but as with most staff if you become inactive after x amount of time you usually have your mod status removed. Grue and Salty haven't really been active moderating for quite some time and both their mod payments have been zero for the past two months and grue's even longer than that, so that means they handled zero reports and probably why they were de-modded.

It seems he just did... better late than never. Good luck cleaning up those ANNs and bounties 
Now I've seen the darkness on the other side. Its not good guys, and I have a much higher respect for those that volunteer their time to deal with other users reports. Also, RIP inbox
I'm sure theymos would of addressed this long ago.

Should we not find a new mods first before removing inactive mods? Any update of to whom the spots were moved? I expect that there is already one who filled the position I am just not sure tho if that mod was newly appointed
If this is a voluntarily position, how can you ensure that you are informed of their intentions in advance. I am not aware of what happens here but there shouldn't be a "notice period" to serve.
Welsh, you're welcome. 
Congratulations, by the way.

Look guys, Welsh is the new moderator on altcoin sections helping mprep, I'd suggest that if any of you interested in becoming moderator start reporting more on those sections without a dedicated moderator.
More reports=having more chance to be hired as a mod (paid or volunteer). now that we have a really good and supportive member as our newest moderator it's time to focus on the next moderator position to be filled if there is actually a need for it.
Again congratulation @Welsh, I like your character very much and I respect you, soon you'll get a lot of reports from me.

In that case I'd like to suggest LoyceV, they are extremely active and interested in moderation stuff, they are actually doing a lot of job on behalf of the moderators. if you were looking for suggestions.
The rest is up to the admin whether they want to hire more mods or not. IMO we should grab people like LoyceV before they get tired and quit their good job at finding bots and spammers.
Again, already suggested. To be clear, new suggestions are welcome. I don't know why I am doing this,even after knowing this might be a big ass deadend,perhaps for the sake of discussion of new staff. The rest is up to the admin whether they want to hire more mods or not. IMO we should grab people like LoyceV before they get tired and quit their good job at finding bots and spammers.
I appreciate the support guys, but like I said my reports get handled pretty quickly, and there's probably others which are reporting in better timezones. United Kingdom is a pretty well covered timezone from what I can gather.
I don't think this is about the reports getting handled, but about the distribution of work. There are boards (like Economics and off-topic) that have no moderators. So is why, I am suggesting theymos to atleast appoint volunteers. suggestions for other people is what I am asking.

Bumping this, for suggestions of new staff(paid or volunteers).
Grue and salty were fired from being global mods because they were doing little to no mod work over an extended period of time. In other words, nearly zero productivity has been lost as a result of their removals. Additional global mods are not needed as a result of Grue and salty being removed as mods.
Welsh. he is active and a good reporter, he is also not biased. I don't see why Welsh shouldn't be a moderator. and about the biggest bully in this forum aka OgNasty, he could keep at bullying people with red tags and distribute merits, nothing else.

Still - it sounds like a waste of time for you and the mods, given your near-perfect record. Would be far more efficient to hand you the hammer or the big red button or whatever that thing is that makes spam disappear.
My report statistics are a little exaggerated too. Like I said if I had downloaded Telegram, and Discord, and checked these before reporting individually I would have much lesser stats. If it were a waste of time I'm sure theymos would of addressed this long ago.
