Start paying Myiume / Hire another resource moderator

[Mat]

I constantly see people complaining about how long resources are taking to be accepted, then today I find out that Myiume isn't even paid.

He has to go through absolutely everything, this includes the plugins and their source code.

For those that don't know, going through a huge plugin that might have something malicious in it is a lot of work, also reading decompiled code isn't the most fun thing to do in the world...

I think it would be in the best interests of everyone that Myiume starts getting paid, that way he can dedicate more time to doing this job.

It's quite a huge job, think about how many people submit resources, especially things like plugins, websites and server setups. One person has to go through everything and then gets complained at for not doing it quick enough, when he's volunteering in the first place.

So my thoughts are to either.

1. Start paying Myiume, he works hard.
2. Hire another volunteer, resource acceptance is slow, if you're not going to pay someone to do it then get twice the man power, I'm sure there are plenty of members that are reputable enough and would do the job.

Just a suggestion and thanks for everything Myiume !

Badger could do it, or Skionz if he was more active. Mat too

The problem is that the people who write decent code and are fairly trustworthy don't want to do it because it's more unpaid work on their plate. Paying one person to motivate them into working harder is theoretically a good idea, but realistically it is not going to happen. MCM doesn't make enough money to pay reasonable wages.

Myiume should be compensated, in my opinion. I honestly forgot that there wasn't a compensation structure set up for Resource Moderators, so that should definitely be done.

However, I think that another resource moderator should also come on board the team. There's no reason that one person should be doing any job. Obviously, that doesn't matter to me anymore, as I'm not an admin, but I still don't like one person doing any one job. I feel that there should be at least 2 resource moderators, just like I feel there should be at least 2 scam resolvers, although my reasoning for scam resolvers may be slightly different.
