Am I the only one who thinks they do a great job, it's certainly not one I would do for love or money!

Surely, they have enough to do as it is without having to justify every single action?
It seems to me they spend more time explaining why they did this, or that, then actually moderating.
It's worse than politics.

As for me, I try and keep out of G/G and P+P. I don't have the stomach for it, far too much bickering and swearing for my liking! I only venture over there when I'm feeling reckless winksmile

No you're not the only one who thinks they do a good job. Sure they make the odd mistake or miss something, but who here has never made a mistake, and they get it right 99% of the time.

The fact that its done voluntarily makes it more exceptional and some of the abuse the have to put up with IMO just isnt fair. They are trying to look after a busy and expanding website and all in I think they do a fine job.

Do the mods get no financial renumeration at all. I can see that with a hobby site that would be the case but this place is a business.

When Ted sold the place did the mods really get nothing? Seems a bit unfair to me.

Please don't speculate when you have none of the facts. How I rewarded the mods is a personal matter between me and them.

Please don't speculate. You are not party to what happened to please don't jump to conclusions.

Quite right it's none of my business. It's just that the mods are forever saying they receive no financial reward and that they do it for nothing.

I was simply surprised that was the case.

By that i think they mean they're not on a salary to do it.

Continue to be surprised!


We receive no payment other than thanks from Haymarket for moderating the site usually 24/7.

Just in case you thought we did it for reward, and why do we do it because we do care about PH believe it or not.
