okay so this has always been on my mind about staff and mods. Are y`all getting paid to watch over the forums? Any kind of staff do you think this should be a paying job if youre not getting money because it sounds like a pain in the ass to be staff. So ive always wondered is the staff just basically volunteering for is this considered a paying job. JW
 
Staff/mods are basically volunteers.
 
No. It's fully voluntary. They do it because they care for FK and want to make it a better place.

@jimmy since you have been through it do you think that staff should be paid because the task it self sounds hard.

I don't think the forum is in the position to pay staff members.
 
No. Being Staff is rewarding enough.

I agree with Amp, because although staff and mods aren't paid, they earn more of a respect or trust with the majority of the other members within the site... If you are mod or staff, you will automatically be more of a trusted member, and you will certainly be respected more by some members... Although there is a lot of work put in, there is some reward i'm sure

Could not have said it better.
 
I wouldn't accept pay if it were put in place. I find it rewarding by helping!

Absolutely not. It'd be like comparing your time and effort to money. Being staff is rewarding in itself. Accepting payment would be an act of shame.
 
You will find the people who staff and moderate the site are those who have a real passion for the ForumKorner community. They are committed and valued members from the day they signed up to the site and that is acknowledged enough for them to be granted such a responsibility. I can't recall the job being a pain in the ass, however I did have to co-work with Quad, who was a dictating bastard that tried to work me like his bitch.

For that is the reason why you are the G.O.A.T.
 
The satisfaction of having leverage over members usually is rewarding enough than receiving pay.
 
Receiving payment for being apart of the team would be absurd.
 
You're accepted as a staff member to help the community and make it a better place. Being paid would be absurd.
 
I know on TTG you get paid quite a lot. But for FK its voluntary.
