Also, I'm currently thinking, what if theymos stop on paying these mods, are they still willing to do the jobs that has been entrusted to them? Though I'm not underestimating someone here, I'm just curious 🤫🤫🤫
I can't speak for all the moderators, but I will continue even without being paid (as long as I have "faith" or as long as I'm not fired

).
When I accepted the job, I knew that mods were paid, but I thought there was an annual "compensation", not a monthly pay

.
And to answer the OP, the main criteria is the number of reports (and patience).
