    @SlyPokerDog actually owes money from his work. His agreed upon compensation was for someone to play with his red rocket and he has had that happen more than the contractually obligated amount.

    It’s an interesting point.

    I question the way it’s valued, but the point stands nonetheless.

    Sounds like it’s time for a Reddit union.

    I work 466 hours per day moderating this site, and I expect full compensation for it.

    I feel like it is so easy to just create a new account with a different ip nowadays. I wonder who they are now....:sherlock::sherlock:

    Oh they have been back multiple times. PapaG is easy to sniff out because he has a very particular posting style. The best one was when he was bitching about me on Reddit LOL

    I wonder how much it adds up to here.

    My payment is getting to see this place made better.
