I keep seeing snippets in answers and questions about people paid to post here?

Question

How many of you think that's true and how have you determined this? Can you identify anyone on this site that you think is a paid poster, and who the heck is paying them?

And most of all - how do I get in on it? I mean, damn, I'm on here too much as it is, I'd love to get paid for my efforts ;-) (almost kidding lol).

I know, before I get lectured, it's not a political question really, it's trite and sort of silly, but I'm having one of those days.

;-)

Leonard, as always you come up something to make me think. Thanks for the link, I held onto it to watch it all when I have the time. I already watched part of it and it was fascinating.

Answer 1

and the MAIN POINT HERE...

if people are charging for some of these answers...

someone is getting TOTALLY RIPPED OFF...

I could come up with better stuff than this... for EITHER SIDE... if I was getting paid for it...

I suspect that the low quality of answers if more than proof enough that no one is getting paid...

when people start making sense (present company excluded ;) ... then I may get curious...

Answer 2

You can receive a violation for an answer or a question written months ago. Long after the question was resolved. You wouldn't think this possible, that you can't violate something that's been resolved but you can. So people make their activity private but there are still tricks that can be used to break into private activity that Yahoo hasn't taken action to prevent. But overall, people privatize their activity to prevent stalking and being harassed with violations! It's nothing personal, 100 people might be alright, but it only takes one to ruin the experience!

Answer 3

I've read the same thing and it makes me laugh. Seriously, I don't believe that anyone is paid to post on this site. I do believe that people tend to get upset at each other because of political differences. I also would not be surprised to find out that we're being closely monitored for 'political swing'... But paid? Nope, don't think so.

Answer 4

I have heard that the RNC pays people to post propaganda. If that is true they are not getting their moneys worth because most of the divel posted by right wingers will just push most intelligent people away from the delusional propaganda that they post. I could come up with better arguments to support the republican propaganda than most of the right wingers on here.

Answer 5

saying someone gets paid
is another way of calling them a prostitute
it could just be a fad
just like everyone is using the word troll now
the troll demanding the riddle be solved
really if someone is getting paid, we will never know until they get fired. Then who will believe them? So who cares really

Answer 6

I don't think anyone is paid to post though I do believe that at least Rush either checks out the site or has someone do it. I have heard comments that he has made that I think came from here.

Answer 7

I have plenty of suspicions with the group of conservative posters here that are on this site 24/7. You have got to sleep and work sometime whether it just be around your house or to pay some bills and or even eat. I have also read quite a few posts on the web that make some really convincing statements to that effect over Rupert Murdock's agendas with his Liberal media conspiracy. I have the OUTFOXED video for you to view, here is the source: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6737097743434902428&q=outfoxed

Answer 8

I get paid by the nuclear proliferation party of Quatar. Also dontations are recieved from Pro 2nd amendment types. peace niks send cash. Actually I dont even work with all the cash flowing in.

Answer 9

Some participants in the Political Section might be paid for posting favorable views about their party. Nevertheless, it is very hard to prove this accussation.

Answer 10

I don't think anyone is getting paid to post anything here. Those are just crazy conspiracies.
