Also - lets not forget that chat room monitors were willing to put up with the AOL TOS, hours and conditions for one good reason:
that sweet feeling of power to kick and ban other people (and likely to brag about it to their buddies).
- jseliger 11y agothat sweet feeling of power to kick and ban other people (and likely to brag about it to their buddies). Yes: I wrote about that problem here: http://jakeseliger.com/2015/03/16/the-moderator-problem-how-reddit-and-related-news-sites-decline/ http://jakeseliger.com/2015/03/16/the-moderator-problem-how-... and there is some HN discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9217628 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9217628. I don't really see a way around these problems: Paying people would be too expensive for sites like Reddit, and "volunteers" suffer from adverse selection.
