eyrei, if you don't want to be a mod, i can mod for you. You don't have to do it, so your post kinda isn't any good.

Civanator, it's not a question of wanting to be a mod or not. Obviously both eyrei and I want to be mods or we wouldn't be mods. Just like the President wants to be a President and the Judge Advocate wants to be the Judge Advocate. Those positions are compensated correctly relative to the other positions. Mods, at +2, are obviously not being compensated according to their duties and responsibilities.

But see, you want to be a mod. you don't have to be a mod. It is like a volunteer status. 2+ i'll go with, and i might go with 3, but not 4.

shaitaneyrei: the problem is: the max pay for unelected positions is 2gpt imho. this also is for mods. otherways, you, shaitan, for example, would gain too much money from it: 4+4+10=18gpt! this is 3gpt more than the president!
the president should be the highest income we have from state.

@ Civanator - I still don't understand what you're saying. Everybody wants their position. Nobody has to run for a position. Everything in and about these forums is on a volunteer basis.

@disorganizer - What's the other +4 for? Am I getting a special "Shaitan" bonus?

As far as I can tell I would be getting 14. 10 base and +4 mod. The President would be getting 15. 10 base and +5 President.

Or are you assuming I'm going to be the Chief Justice at an additional +4? I'm obviously not as I'm not running for the position. Or are you suggesting that if a mod takes additional jobs, they should not accumulate pay like other players?

Should nobody be able to make more than 15g in any case? We can make a ceiling on salary if you'd like. Maybe a floating ceiling where nobody can get more salary than the President.

@Shatian: 4gpt was assuming you get the highest position which would suit a mod. worst-case scenario

BUT:
This is a good point:
Now we could give the mods a fixed payment of 14gpt no matter which other job they take in addition to modding. This would also encourage them to not take any game-jobs
Example:
Shaitan (sorry its always you) is mod and gets the judical job.
He would get only 14gpt, as this is the base payment for mods. Nothing more. Even if he also is mayor and a office head, the only gets 14gpt.

Can we go with that compromise? Mods will then be exactly payed like a leader.

Of course, a mod can get additional money by opening a private business, if that does not conflict with his impartiality or any other job... for example as shaitan has a law business, he would not be able to maintain it as judical leader...

That's not a bad idea, dis. It would encourage mods to concentrate on modding. If they do take another position it's definitely not for more cash then but a labor of love.

I would like one exception to that though - Honors. Those should apply no matter what as they are the public's way to reward exceptional service.
