Another forum where I visit recently needed a moderator and posted a want ad thread. They were looking for someone to monitor the forum for 2 -3 hours a days, and were willing to pay $500/month.

There was a catch. The paid mod could not post or participate in any discussions. Since there was still a crew of volunteer mods, it was not exactly clear what the role of the paid mod would be.

The question becomes, would you give up playing on a forum, in order to patrol it, and is $500 enough to tempt you to do it?

Dude, that's like, five and a half dollars an hour. I pay Killswitch more than that to cut my grass.
 
i'm an unpaid mod on another, far, far slower forum and i've posted there like maybe twice in the last six months because, seriously, those guys are idiots. if they paid me i'd gladly never post in the nest of weirdos ever again.

I'm willing to offer some fuckers bids to not post here.
 
If I'm getting paid: A LOT! ... If I'm paying: Nothing!

Edit:
Is that $500 a week for 2-3 hours a day for 5 days? .... hmm, what's the forum and what do they talk about?

If it's the way balls feel against your face ... no, but if it's something I find interesting, maybe.

Edit:
$500/month ... I should really try reading an entire post one day.

I need the money, so I wouldn't say no. Hopefully not more than 15 hrs a week and if it wasn't for a whiny men with low T forum, if it was then I'd like an occasional bonus. Could I change their avatars to kittens in clothes when I ban them?

Sean has his own Forum?
 
My posting style here is a rebound "WHEEEEEE!" from years of being a responsible party either on a board, on IRC chat or a role play guide in a game.

I once moderated a philosophy channel. If there were ever a place frequented by an obnoxious few deserving of being called fuck knuckles, it was them.

No thanks.

Yeah, but it's a job that one can do, sitting on a toilet. It's that it doesn't pay as well as the other jobs one can do on a toilet.

I see your point.

"the way balls feel against your face" would be a slow day.

14 to 21 hours for $125 a week? Gross or net?
 
I would totally do it. At least if it seemed like the pay lived up to the work. Yeah, it's not much per hour really, but for going through some posts for a few hours without posting? I do that anyway. Might as well get paid.
 
Having the GB on Literotica isn't worth $500 to begin with. :rolleyes:
 
What else are you going to do with the time...you bounce in and out while looking at all the other places you hang out and get $500.00 a month.

Can you find any easier work?

You just gotta keep shut in one forum...big deal

yes.. probably. sounds like a decent gig. as long as forum rules were clear cut, that would be a nice $500. this is the only forum i am in any way attached to. what kind of forum is looking to pay $500 a month? that seems like a big chunk of change.
 
I'd do it. I mean, how long could it take to ban everyone? Nice payout for 15 minutes? 30 minutes work?
 
I would do it if the forum were interesting.

A sample of thread titles on page 1:

strange things in your butt/pussy

Walmart - Assault rifles will be gone.

Who has told their BF that your Bi/gay and admitted you had a thing for them?

BDSM advice/kinks?

whats best sexual stimulant that gives it and extra kick besides coke

Kanye West running for president in 2020

Windows 10

What's a good app to make naughty, anonymous phone calls?

Gay guys trying pussy?

Fastest you ever orgasmed? ladies?

Is it possible that Donald trump will be the next American president

How do you feel watching your wife/gf fucking another man?
 
You spend half your day there anyway, may as well just make a new nic for posting and get paid for just brousing for 3 hours
