Yeah, frankly it's getting exhausting at this point and honestly there's no point in continuing to argue for it. I'm disgusted at the people here who are insulting the moderators, which seems to be the same people who were advocating that they get paid for their labor. I'm realizing that it wouldn't make a difference if they were paid or no, people here are gonna continue treating them like scum on the bottom of their shoe. It's fucking embarrassing and I feel for the mods.You know what? The "community" posting here are doing more to make me not want to post here than Cerium selling or the mods or whatever have been doing.
So many assholes fighting for Mods to be paid then the mods actually giving reasons why they volunteer and would rather not be paid, or bring up questions that would arise if they WERE being paid and then are basically being told they don't matter. Mods asking for basic fucking respect from users and getting told to fuck off basically. An Admin that put down a link for people to put their money where their mouth is regarding how Mods should get paid and then immediately getting backlash. Y'all think that would happen if they accepted payment from Cerium or the MOBA corp? As soon as they accept money from their position it goes from "they should be paid for their work!" to "they're only moderating for the money!".
Out of all this I went from thinking the mods were just kind of there, doing their stuff but maybe having problematic mods or some bad policies (which I've brought up before I've never been part of those communities so I've never seen where they've made mistakes as I don't go into those topics.) to thinking how much of a thankless position it is. They can do no right it seems and it's not surprising that most mods/admins would quit because of the posters rather than an ownership change.
