All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.

I'll say this, they absolutely should. There are no finer forum moderators on the entire world wide web than there are on Bungie.net.

Moderators are currently paid a sum of $0.00. However, Master Moderators receive thrice that.

The only way to pay them would be to start charging the members for the web service.

I'm not that active, but never dead.

I still think they should set up a PayPal. mb.

Sigh. There can't ever just be respect for the moderators, can there? No, it's always arse-kissing and boot-licking. Seriously, what's your problem? Does the only contribution you make to a thread have to be derogatory to another member who is only offering support?

Such is Bungie.net version 2004. I mean, it's not like they understand what Bungie is about anyways.

You don't know the half of it...

If Bungie.net moderators were paid, they'd be on a lot longer than they normally are (and they are on as much as they can be).

..and anyway, I'd moderate Bungie.net for free. I'm just that cool. Money is nice, though.


I don't think you understood the post you were quoting Toasty, but we're all glad to see you're not materialistic.

Besides, doesn't moderators get paid in grunt plush dolls?

  • 03.09.2006 1:41 PM PDT

They don't get paid in money, they simply have the respect of pretty much every user who isn't a complete moron on bnet and get free bungie shwag.

Cause you don't get enough...lol.

Heck, most of the mod's carry jobs anyways. Almost all of them do their moderating while at work as well, so in a sense, they are being paid to moderate the forums. Just not by bungie.

  • 03.09.2006 3:35 PM PDT

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

They get paid for every member they slaughter using their super ninja powers. Well, that was a lie, but still fun to dream. Besides, Bungie shwag should be more than enough.

Erm... yes he does =[

And the mods get paid nothing. Which, of course, is still more than Frankie.

Hmmm...I don't know why I am getting this idea, but I should open an awesome business in Australia and be an awesome boss. Why am I getting this idea? It's a mystery...

Well, if you consider disrespect a currency, then yes, the moderators do get paid.

  • 03.10.2006 1:06 AM PDT

If the mods got paid for being mods, well... in that case I would be a mod.

RESPEK.
