    Default Do our Moderators Deserve a Pay Raise?

    One thing you gotta' admit is that our Moderators try hard. Sometimes, anyway.

    And isn't effort, even without results, worth SOMETHING???

    I, for one, believe that our Moderators deserve a substantial salary increase. Perhaps something in the order of 50% OR MORE of their current remuneration!!!

    So what is it, folks??? Do our Moderators deserve a pay raise?

    I didn't vote, because you didn't include an option of "Double their pay".

    Hey, it's your poll. I'm still agonizing over which selection I should make.

    I voted:"Ken, Out Of Gratitude Should Send Them All $$$$$"

    However!!!! Since Ken and 2dumb have kept the mods hoping, perhaps Mr. 2dumb would share the burden?

    Doggin it? Oh, sure. You go to bed and lay your weary head on a soft pillow. Who do you think is still here making sure the doors are locked, the lights are off and the floor is swept. I really don't get no respect. No respect at all.

    I was thinking that Ken and I should be getting the big bucks, for all the entertainment. Everyone knows that entertainers get paid tons more, than the people that do the grunt work, but for the good of the forum, I'd be more than happy to divide evenly, all donations received, between entertainers, and moderators.

    I'm sorry. I didn't read that quite right. Divided amongst who?

    I'd go back and add Administrators, but I don't want to be called a Ken.

    ....and besides....you're pretty entertaining, Rick. I kinda consider you one of us.

    Um, what does "remuneration" mean?
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    It's lawyer talk for gettin' paid. The party of the first part and the party of the second part = two parties.

    Now you've done it! You've gone and laid a guilt trip on me! So just to be fair you each get 25% of my moderator's pay!

    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.

    Well they do have to put up with all of our shenanigans!! But Ken,2D2K and I probably help make sure they have PLENTY of Tylenol around, So maybe Tylenol should be paying THEM!! (at least give them free samples now and then) Hey just my opinion but they do an excellent job!! After all the three of us haven't been banned....yet.

    All jokes aside. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of them. Chris,Logos, McCoffey, Rick, Sarge and last but not least, (after all he does lead in the votes for best Super Moderator) Crash. Thanks Guys!!
