So do they? If so, can I get an idea of the order of magnitude? I’m not trying to be nosy, I’m looking at a moderated social networking site and trying to get a handle on costs.
IIRC: They get free membership and a coffee mug.
Don’t forget the jackboots.
It must have cost them a fortune with the size 16s they had to get for me.
Seriously, WhatExit is correct. Subscription is paid and we get a cool STAFF coffee mug. That’s it.
Harrumph. I had to pay for my own jackboots and Staff of Attitude Adjustment.
Seriously, I got a mug, and I get a free membership. That’s it. I don’t even get a mug a year, it’s ONE mug for all the time I’ve spent on this board. And on the AOL board, as well.
I hear they get customized ban hammers 
…and tsuris. All we want. No charge.
Don’t minimize the benefits. I assume they get a lovely Chicago Reader calendar as well, like the SDSAB does.
What if that mug breaks? If you ask nicely, will the powers that be send you a replacement? You’ve been here long enough, you know.
And ham banners. Mmm… ham…
Momma’s gonna buy you a billy goat.
Don’t you get free mod hats?
I was sure it at least covered Xanax, Advil, rolling papers and liquor. I sure wouldn’t want to do it without that.
replacement mugs must be picked up in person you know. By appointment only. 
They also get the title Moderator on the board.
Hey - why not sell titles and raise money that way?!
I’d pay $1 for ‘Chess Guru’. At least.
Mods are responsible for providing their own official Accessories of Office. It’s not always a hat, either: Coldfire, in his day, donned a pair of Mod Clogs, and I personally used a Mod Watch.
So you have to spring for your own “Mod Squad” T-shirts?
So do SDSAB members get Mod powers too? Are they greater or lesser compared to Mods? What about compared to Superman ?
Chronos used to be a Mod, and then he retired. Retired mods in good standing have the SDSAB title, and sometimes continue to contribute to Staff Reports.
We don’t even have a budget for hookers and blow anymore.

The mods in The Pit get a discount on billy clubs.
