Here's a similar question, how do the moderators get their title? Do they work for the site or are they just extremely trusted users with reponsabilities?
Moderators are appointed by Administrators.
What's the difference between "working for the site", and having "responsibilites"? Are you just asking if moderators get a paycheck?
I'm assuming the moderators don't get a paycheck, but by responsibilities i meant moderating topics for misplaced subjects and watching for rule breakers.
And by "working for the site" you meant?
Do they do this to get some sort of benefit, gain, or privilege, or just because they want to.
or because they want to.
I don't know about the other mods, but I do it mostly because I am reading a bunch of posts each day regardless. More than that, I patrol Recent Unread Topics (in other words, the full stream of posts from all boards). Since I can be trusted to follow policy, I was given moderation power.
This is exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm glad this system runs this way. Thank you.
