Do guys who help others in these forum get paid ?

[INSANE-HOOLIGAN]

I got a simple question ,, do the people who help others in this forum get paid ?? 

 

[mikat]

you mean the moderators? afaik they don't

Don't think mods/staff do and the rest of us certainly do not

[Mooshi]

We get paid in memes

[Hiitchy]

I personally do it because it's fun and I learn a lot from different perspectives. I don't think those people are getting paid, they just happen to know a lot about the stuff they do, and enjoy doing it!

[KuJoe]

I send out invoices at the end of each month. 

 

J/K, none of us are getting paid.

[minibois]

If only I got a dollar per post..

 

But no we don't. The mods here likely don't either. Maybe some of the developers on the staff team do.

The only users I would imagine get paid for posting here are the industry affiliates.

[INSANE-HOOLIGAN]

thank you all ...

[You_are_a_cunt]

The information given around here is free, but I suspect many of us get paid for services done IRL (I know I charge people for consultancy, diagnostics or maintenance. usually symbolic prices or at least enough to cover my time and consumables)

[A Silver]

No one gets paid. We just do it because it is fun and we can learn easily.

No real posters get paid (like the mods, or just helpful users in general). There is however issues with shills from time to time. 

 

A shill is someone who gets paid to pretend to be a regular customer, but is actually trying to influence people to buy a specific product. 

So if let's say Five-four had a shill on this site, the shill would make posts about how good Five-four is and try to make people pick get subscriptions for it, and in return he gets paid by five-four. The reason why I mention five-four is because we had a very.... peculiar user on here a while ago which only recommended them, all his posts were about clothes, and he mysteriously got banned after a while. 

[LogicalDrm]

Only LMG employees and industry affiliates get paid. From each employee ofc, not all from LMG and certainly not from forum contributors.

 

Personally I reply to root out misinformation and help in general. Before this forum was created, I was looking for community to get active on.

Personally, I post in snark and get paid in  clicks.  It's a rewarding exchange.

If he was an annoying shill then it's not really surprising if he got banned.

They pay me in Taran memes on a bi-weekly basis.

I get both Taran AND Dennis meme's and on a weekly basis. You need to speak with your union rep about upping your pay.

We've been talking about upping my pay with some of the n00bs' memes, but nothing is set in stone right now. For all I know we might just go with Taran and Jon memes.

Yeah I get paid a ton. I get paid the most valuable thing in the world actually. It's knowledge

I invested too hard in NickyV's now they are worth nothing

Yeah those took a dive, though they'll probably go up again in value in a few months once people foolishly dispose of theirs.

I'd hold onto them, they'll become collectibles since they're out of production now.
