Re: Why I think Copper Membership is a must buy

I think moderators who get paid for helping keep this place clean would disagree with that statement. It is quite an achievement what was built here and theymos using advertiser funds to help make this community better well into the future doesn't seem like greed to me.

I was under the impression that mods didn't make much money for their efforts. I've never heard anyone mention the pay rate (nor do I expect to, as it's none of my business), but in any case I don't think it's a huge expense for the forum. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I didn't say moderators were a huge expense to the forum. I said they get paid and that I believe they don't think theymos is greedy.

He is probably financially set and has millions upon millions. You have to be wary of those that seek power though. Even though this is just an internet forum people love to have control over something. Reddit moderators that don't get paid love to have that small bit of power of controlling the narrative. Even people on the Default Trust group get off on having power over others.

Theymos may not be like this but just saying it is a possibility.
