Moderator payments on Forums

I wont list the Forum in question,dont want an infraction!!

Question is i have a Webmasters Forum and looking to recruit 2-3 moderators of good quality, but not sure what the going rate is to offer.
Can anyone advise?

 

mods? they dont get paid

 

You should pay per hour. So maybe $2.50 - $5 per hour, I'm not sure about the rates atm. Just make an offer on the forums and see if anyone is interested.

 

I thought they did?
So whats the incentive to be a Mod on a forum?

 

Mods are volunteers

 

So is this the correct place to ask for volunteers?

Thats a tough one to monitor surely?

 

may be a good idea to ask members of your forum if any of them would like to be a mod , at least then you know who you are dealing with , and they will probs do it for free

 

It is up to you, but I would not give money to people to moderate your website, that is silly, people will do it for free, distinguished members will show and they will deserve the job as Moderator and I am sure they will do more for you.

If you do pay then, I would start with a little wage, then get more for the harder and longer you are there for, to keep them motivated!

 

mods usually volunteer, but when they realise what they got themselves into, its too late

 

love. they do it out of love for the forum.

 

actually lots of forums also pay the mods too

 

i was referring to this one.

 

well you can't know this for sure either

 

really?? i've never gotten a check. i'm going in shawn's office.

 

umm you're not mod?

 

Hehe, anyone notice that the kitty killer and the kitty are about to go at it? I think we need to moderate the moderators before someone has to clean up the kitty scraps.

 

ha, who'd you bet on

 

I volunteeer to be a DP Mod


jokes aside, just post a thread on your forum in the news section, saying this



"NEW MODERATORS NEEDED"

PLEASE POST THE FOLLOWING

Experience (if any)
Why should you be chosen
A little about yourself

Well you get the point.
If your forum is empty, it might be good to get some friends to do it for you. The going rate is $200 a month. Ill do it for 150 if you are still interested in hiring.

You just ruined it for me. I was about to get $150 for it. HAHA JK. Also, volunteers need to make sure they know the rules of the forum. So before you actually give them access, make sure you can trust them, and that they've at least read the rules.
