Look, I'm not saying it's a crime to ask for a little extra cash if it actually meant we'd get some real professionalism and actual quality around this forum, because let's be honest, we could all use a bit more substance.

But that part seems to be conveniently forgotten.......

mistybison said:I am confident that regular users who consistently contribute high-quality content would certainly be exempt from such a requirement. 😉

But I have to wonder—who exactly gets to sit in judgment and decide what counts as a quality contribution?
Harold Taylor6 said:That’s true, I suppose, but that’s really beside the point here. Your whole argument was basically that you aren't bound by any kind of agreement until a payment actually hits the table.
I honestly believe the vast majority of our moderators are doing a fantastic job. Think about it—at any given moment, you've got maybe 3,000 to 4,000 people online, ranging from dedicated members to just random guests passing through. If you're under the impression that everyone is going to think and react in the exact same way, then the word "individual" pretty much loses all meaning!
But that doesn't take away from the hard work every single moderator puts in.
Ronald Allen said:Look, if you can manage to act civil when talking to people at your job, then you should probably be able to handle it here too. That's really all there is to it.
Harold Taylor6 said:Look, you don't need a PhD to realize when a discussion is heading off the rails. While it’s certainly helpful for a moderator to have a decent handle on the specific subreddit they're overseeing, it’s honestly ridiculous to expect any single mod to be an absolute expert on every single niche topic posted on their board—don't be silly.
Kenneth Peterson5 said:As far as I can tell, every single moderator here went through some kind of special Chuck Norris training program just so they could act as the personal henchmen for big boss Chaka—so honestly, if you have to pay up for maintenance this "high quality," why the hell not?
Seriously, look at this thread... then look at this comment. Just perfect.

nimblewalker58 said:If you weren't so completely obsessed with whether everything is "fair" or constantly airing your grievances, you'd easily fit right in with the forum's elite—the very group we’re trying to protect so they can exchange ideas without being interrupted by every random troll looking for attention.
Roger Robinson682 said:Well, I’ve been hanging around this site for years now, and I must say, I had absolutely no idea there was such a thing as a "forum elite." Maybe if you people would just cut back on the number of subforums available to us "peasants"—since we clearly don't have much of value to contribute anyway—and just build a private, gated section specifically for your "elite" crowd, everyone would be happy. The "peasants" would get their space, the "elite" could have theirs, and maybe then the numbers would finally satisfy everyone...🙄🙄
nimblewalker58 said:That’s just silly; when I used the term "elite," I was actually referring to those constructive users who actually contribute something meaningful to the discussions. Do you really feel left out by a definition like that? 🤷
Harold Taylor6 said:Honestly, just look at these Reddit users... you're out here playing pretend for no reason at all now. Go ahead, have at it!
