Or is there some kind of loophole that allows gamefaqs to pay them below most states/countries minimum pay bracket?

I refuse to believe anyone is pathetic enough to work for free on a commercially viable website.

I'm also sure it would be illegal. At least by American standards?

Mods don't get paid, we're volunteers. We don't have any quotas or anything. Some days I don't even moderate at all!

Why be s moderator at all though? Why use your time doing work for a website that is taking advantage of you?

They probably just like the power trip they get from fucking with people.

Imagine how many people would freely volunteer to be a cop just to abuse the power for that adrenaline rush.

Yeah why try to help a place you've been a part of for over a decade? In your spare time while you're already here anyway

Do you ever go to the zoo, and you get to the lazy area where you can sit on the bench and watch the ducks, and if your put a quarter into that crank gumball machine to get a handful of kibble to feed them with? They you toss it over the water and enjoy the frenzy for a minute or two.

It's similar to that. They work for the positive reward.

There's a difference between a frequent place to eat, and a frequency place you hang out at. Especially when you're an active part of the community.

Despite the reputation of the mods, some of them just wanna help out.

Word through the grapevine is that mods get some pretty cool swag. They also get access to the totally uncensored version of the site for free.

Sorry I still don't see it. If anything I feel a little sorry for the mods. It's obvious they are being taken advantage of but fed the carrot that it's rewarding work.

Some people just want to volunteer and give back to the community. Ive done it before on forums which I was active in and just wanted to contribute.

I even put it on my CV and LinkedIn under volunteering lol.

I guess those who havent volunteered before probably dont get it. Its often a thankless and non remunerated role but you can also get satisfaction from it.

I know what volunteering is like, I've volunteered at an animal shelter for the past five years (once a month), I do it because it gets me laid.

Volunteering on a videogame website... Honestly don't understand.

Not everyone has the same objective/intention in mind when they volunteer.

(although funnily enough I did sleep with someone I met through the student forum I was volunteer moderating...)
