I am amazed, doing work should bring you money not the opposite, so basically the new moderators pay for a job that maybe in the future will be compensated if the site succeeds and if you decide they deservce the promotion to paid moderators.
Basically those people will pay 0.5 BTC for premium access to adult cams no more.
Moderators are required to put up the security deposit as a sign of support for the site, and also to prove their not applying with malicious intent.
The information that moderators have access to is very in-depth, and if released to "Joe Blow" in the general public could be extremely detrimental to both streamers and viewers. Not only do moderators have power over various parts of the site but they also have unmetered/uncharged hidden access to any stream connected to the server, and that in the future will likely be worth far more than 0.5BTC (Which at the end of the day isn't a whole hell of alot of Bitcoin given the perks that this position offers.)
All this being said, I'm back to working on the site, I will keep an eye on the thread here and will reply when I get the chance.
