Re: Bitcointalk forum holding 125 BTC

Do you really think so? From what I can recall mods get paid around 1000-2000$ a month on a normal basis if they handle a certain portion of reports. I am not sure if this is still the case though. Mods get paid in terms of how many reports they relatively handle. Ref: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5294865.msg55717644#msg55717644

OTOH, I came across this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=234009.msg2480445#msg2480445 which basically proves the forum had more than 6000 BTC in funds.

Global moderators maybe, but local board, and general moderators tend to get much less than that. Usually, in the low hundreds depending on activity, and how many actions they take as a moderator. For those calling for transparency regarding mod payments, its super easy to find out how much a moderator is getting paid.

Basically, staff get paid based on a hidden algorithm probably only known by theymos.
