Ridiculous.The forum's income is enough. From the donations in the past upto the weekly advertisement slots they auctioned. Sorry to say, worst suggestion.

How would you know if it's enough? people here expect theymos to hire 10 full time staff members to moderate the forum. would you work 8 hours a day for free to moderate this forum?

Free? Lol. They are paid! I'm not saying how much they are paid whether a lot or not but I'm sure its enough. Or are you saying to hire 10 new mods? Then no. That's too much. A bit exaggerated in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure that the moderators don't get paid that well, as it's been stated before unless that's changed recently. Plus, the advertisements alone should cover the staffs 'wages' and then some. Millions has been donated to the forum, that's what the new forum is being funded by.

What I only suggested is to add 1 admin and not to add a couple of mods here. As you see, mods' authority is limited. Admins are busy handling multiple concerns. What's with 3 admins? What will they do? Like I said to other topics like this: 1st admin would be the chief admin and the development of the forum is on his hand which is theymos while the 2nd will be the one in charge for bitcointalk support i.e. recovering hacked accounts and etc; the last one will be the one responsible for all the issues regarding forum rules i.e. bans, ban appeal, implementing new rules and etc.

I think the wage for another admin is not that heavy to result to a negative income or unable to allocate some of the forum's income to the forum itself. Frankly, I would say, forum's savings is enough. It is said that it will be used for hiring someone to develop the forum software but theymos decides to just do it himself since he can't entrust this to others.
