Huh.  I honestly wasn't aware that mods got paid different amounts, but I guess it makes total sense.  Some sections are snake pits as far as shitposting and spam go, and they generally need much more moderating than other sections--whether that happens or not is another story.  You learn something new every day.

I sort of wonder what the limits are as well, i.e., what Theymos allows mods to do vs. what they're not allowed to do as far as deleting posts/threads/banning members.  The main reason I don't want to be a mod (but not the only reason) is because of what I assume would be a lack of real power to clean up the forum.  I don't think Theymos wants mods to go crazy deleting stuff and banning members.  My guess is that it would therefore be an extremely frustrating job.

Where did hilariousandco go, anyway?  Haven't seen him around much lately.
