i never thought you would get paid, but like why else become a mod?

bos makes money through ad revenue so maybe they get paid, but i doubt it since what would they even get paid to do? like it seems they just log on whenever they feel like. some mods aren't even active most of the time, so would they still be paid?

Moderators are volunteers who simply want to give back to the HSC student community.

seems suspicious...
why would someone donate hundreds/thousands of hours to help people they don't even know

 

[totally_screwed]

pretty sure this entire site exists through mostly volunteer work so we should just be grateful

“Passionate” would be a more accurate word. Moderators are passionate about extending their contributions beyond those of regular users. Of course, you do not necessarily need to become a moderator. Contributions from regular users are just as valued.

This is not exactly unusual... in the real world there are always people who volunteer their free time to help the community. They are driven purely by a desire to help others and make a difference to people's lives, rather than anything superficial or monetary.

In the context of this website, think of all the past students who have shared their comprehensive notes online for free that they spent hundreds of hours on and/or those who have spent time repeatedly helping out in the HSC forums. This site has been purely volunteer driven and community-centric for the past 20+ years. Thus, it is important that any prospective moderators have personal values that are well aligned to what the site stands for.

what does the ad revenue go towards if mods aren't payed?

It goes to the cost of running the website itself (which is not cheap).
