They don't. I resigned when Tom offered me actual full paid moderation job. I was too good for them.

Tom doesn't need to pay them, there are suckers out there that would do it for free.

You'd think a place like this, it would pay to be a mod.

Not unless they have an internship at Newgrounds if they did a very good job at their moderating duties.

I get a check from Tom every month. It's a bit weird that he uses ones with Looney Tunes in the background, but hey money is money!

Yes, but only the chat and icon mods. It always turns into a heated discussion every week when they convene at the Moderator Roundtable.

I wouldn't be a mod even if they paid me. I heard that some mods get would get paid in occasionally free NG merchandise or something.

The only payment that I would accept is love and togetherness. We don't seem to have enough of that around here.

Tom and Wade just usually go to a mental institution and get people from there to moderate. No sane person would ever want to be a mod, even if they got paid.

Don't listen to SCTE3, he's a bullshit artist. He's just mad because Timmy makes 20k a year more than him.
