How much do MODERATORS get paid?

blackbeSSt · 10-22-10, 12:33 PM

i'd say about 4 sbr thongs a month

edit: tony you're a mod, you tell us

Fishhead · 10-22-10, 12:36 PM

Anywhere from 500-5000 mo....depending on the site and the quality of the mod.

Two popular gaming forums paid mods 1000-3000 per month at their peak.

stealthyburrito · 10-22-10, 12:38 PM

what are the hours like is the real question

BeeMore · 10-22-10, 12:41 PM

Around 40k

jjgold · 10-22-10, 12:41 PM

Walker has me working 16 hrs per day and I ain't no mod. It is my dream job. I want to play God with posters lives.

pavyracer · 10-22-10, 12:41 PM

500 a month is like 16 bucks a day. Name another job in the US that earns 16 bucks a day.

I heard Shrink was paying him 5K/month at therx (or was it eog?)

Sam Odom · 10-22-10, 12:43 PM

500 used to be what a paid poster would get. If a mod settled for 500 s/he was stupid

Ryangene · 10-22-10, 12:43 PM

I can let you know i used to help out with about 2 hours a day at one place.. No longer in existence. And got paid $400 a month.

paco · 10-22-10, 12:48 PM

Sam9ball deserves at least 60k/year.

Guy never gets a day off.

He even places pizza orders when he is off.

Voice of reason like usual

Sam Odom · 10-22-10, 12:51 PM

if one is a 'free' power poster why not take 500.00 tax free?

Not sure if mods have health benefits like insurance but because the job requires them to basically be in front of the computer all day they will have many health problems like vision, migraines, blood clots in the legs, high blood pressure, etc. With a quick estimate I did being a mod may actually be worse than smoking 2 packs a day.

Doug · 10-22-10, 01:04 PM

anywhere from zero to 5k a month.

I've turned down $500 a month a couple of times.

LOL... Frigging JJ.

SBR has excellent mods, every one of them is under paid. Hopefully that will change soon as the industry slowly makes a comeback.

John this is unrelated to the mod pays but shouldn't the industry thrive when the economy is bad and tank when the economy is good? Isn't gambling people's last resort at desperate times? Why are you so optimistic about the industry?

I can see this all being true.

Mods make bigtime paper! HUGE! I snuck into a private mod party once and it was unreal, Ferrari's everywhere, these guys cry the poormouth but actually all make mid 6 figures and up. Every dollar we lose here gets chopped up between all of them, these guys are living the good life right about now.

jjgold · 10-22-10, 01:51 PM

Gambling business is doing ok

Paver is right people taking fukkin shots.

Goat Milk · 10-22-10, 02:50 PM

csm506 · 10-22-10, 02:55 PM

Sounds like a plan where do I sign up!

I think it did much better in the previous recessions. Not this one though. This world wide real estate and banking meltdown has really hurt the gaming industry. Vegas is reeling. Then throw in the US's crackdown on money movement and you get a near depression for the online gambling companies.

I think the lows have been made as the economy is no longer in a free fall and gaming companies adjust. But for front line guys like the mods and programmers its unfortunate because they have worked so hard. But like I said I think the industry will recover and already a lot of good signs out there.

PingPong · 10-22-10, 03:10 PM

how does one even become a mod? I fear a blowjob is involved

starfire · 10-22-10, 03:22 PM

anymore then 1k a month is too good to be true.
also my dream job

Cougar Bait · 10-22-10, 04:33 PM

I would consider it

But I would cost too much

Illini said I was next in line

Illini send some of that pink shit in the mail again

Nicky Santoro · 10-22-10, 04:43 PM

I'm not sure how much they get exactly. but based on my experience... when SBR approached me last year to become a Head mod, they offered me the job and told me they'd pay me whatever i wanted... i asked for 12k a month and they said sure...

but then i decided to not do it. It wasn't worth it for me for only 100k/yr..
