Re: Q: Should Lauda *really* be a moderator of bitcointalk A: no
Now he has the moderators on his payroll.
Here we go again. Sorry QS, neither you nor TF have enough funds to have me on your payroll. 
Now I see why you like Lauda so much. He will willing to censor threads that are allowed but are hurtful to you --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1576103.0
There's a distinct difference between censoring and moderation. The thread was used to troll and thus is not allowed. It showed up on the first page of Services for me even thought it is old (March).
