Re: [Poll]BitTorrentTrackers Staffers to be paid or not to be paid ?
Btw, I obviously think they shouldn't get paid. Most don't even need to, as they are too young to have accounts or spend their money either in booze or hookers.

I think they should do whatever the fuck they want, if the site owners sees fit, go for it.
I mean I get paid for my job... which is a fucking crime cause its wayyy to enjoyable, so why not them.

Torrent Trackers like Isohunt make profit. Therefore, whether staffers get paid or not, 'facilitating piracy of copy righted material' is already something that people get profited for.

Torrent Trackers like Isohunt are completely legal at the same time. This means that the only problems it'd create are merely complaints by people like you. Also, these 'problems' still don't depend on whether or not the staffers get payed.

This is not a reason why staffers shouldn't be allowed to get paid, but rather some kind of advice towards staffers. Not really an argument.

There are some truly great staff in the community whom I would be very pleased to see get compensated for their time and efforts, however; the truly great ones aren't doing what they do for money.
It's kinda like politicians- anyone who seeks power and money isn't fit to serve.

Thanks, but I should give Aristotle most of the credit. :)

Money should be as far removed from acts of piracy as possible.
Piracy should remain within the realm of 'hobby', ALWAYS.
And ya know, sometimes hobbies cost money ;). Ever thought of it that way?
If anything, staffers should be content with sometimes shelling out some money for doing what they do, if it's necessary and if they are capable of affording it.
Re: [Poll]BitTorrentTrackers Staffers to be paid or not to be paid ?
There are already sites that are making profit and we don't know about them except when they decide to close the site and run away so If there exists a transparent system that tells the people if the donation bar goes above 100% the rest of money will be go to the staffers for their dedication , everyone will be happy .

I think so too but sadly it's not :(. If it's not admins asking for a little extra each month, it's crooked FTP sysops selling leech on the side. Worst news to my ears was how groups like ORC buy cams for $500+... Money is unfortunately fueling piracy.
