What the fuck? He's not even paying the mods on a site that rakes in profits??
That's outrageous!
It looks fucking weird.
It is not clear to me, first he says: "we aren't paid to be mods here" and in the following comment he says: "...we get paid by the site". I don't know if they are paid in another capacity and not as moderators. In any case it is strange.
I think it's a case of poorly worded sentence, what the mods tried to say was, "we aren't paid to be mod here, only wanted to help other players, without giving anyone any reason to question our loyalty --in other words, if their help/answer/solution is leaning toward benefiting the site-- because they think we are paid by the site, which we aren't"
