Zone1 why does a million dollar company not pay its staff?

[hjmick]

and where is the outrage that usmessageboard is a million dollar company using unpaid staff?

More importantly... if true, why do they continue to seek contributions of $350.00 to pay the server fees?

A volunteer is a person who performs or offers to perform a service voluntarily, without a wage.

.

A Volunteer is also someone who is appreciated for the effort they provide simply by providing that effort.
They are not ... And cannot be held to the same Requirements and Standards that paid employees can be.

The rules are different ... And in some cases, even the laws are different ...
As well as the fact that the Organization is also granted Limited Protection from some Liabilities ...
Associated with some actions that may be taken by Volunteer Staff.

It's like clockwork when lefties whine about the content of the USMB when things seem to be going badly for the democrat administration. The USMB is the most tolerant discussion board around but leave it to lefties to try to kill the golden goose when they are unhappy about the political situation.

I've been posting here for 12 years. I've only had a problem with one Mod in all that time. Most of them are pretty fair.

If you only had a problem with one MOD then that's pretty unfair to everyone else.

its like paying rent...you are taking money off your table and putting on the mortgage holders table...working for free is never a good idea

You're against volunteering?

This is why there needs to be a federal law that REQUIRES ALL INTERNET SITES be NAMED with their owners, a list of EMPLOYEES, a physical ADDRESS listed (not a po box), and CONTACT information listed........other wise, be shut down or blocked from use.

Most internet sites like this NEVER show who owns them, who runs them, who they employee, or how to contact them.

I had to do some MAJOR digging a couple months back to find out how to contact the owners, and of course they never responded. Cowards.

I agree with the idea that the owners should be named. List of employees? Maybe. But physical address? No way. The last thing anyone would want is for the lunatics that come to these websites to be able to stalk you and possibly kill you. All because they are angry at the website rules.

I agree with you except for that last statement.

I doubt if too many people are angry at the rules. They are angry about the targeted way they are enforced.

My employees at the USMB are paid extremely well.

I don't see the problem

Why would one be a sucker and work for free?

Never been to the USMB Christmas party then?

No, I am usually working for free for my family.

I wonder what the proper wage would be for a USMB modulator if the corporation agreed with Strolling?

Would it be minimum wage? Would it be deemed skilled labor? Management?

I'm curious how they would determine the hours worked.

Time logged in/logged out.

That sounds great. But much of the time they are logged in they are not performing mod duties. They are still forum participants.

Yea! Where's my cheeseburger!

Easy fix, make a distinction.
