I certainly get it sometimes, but not others.
Not that hard really... if you ask everyone to provide credentials ATS will soon become a ghost town... either because a person does not have the
expertise that he claims... or because those that do have credentials prefer to remain anonymous... and may not trust leaving that record
anywhere...
While we old timers may trust staff... what reason would a newcomer have? Trust is built... It would be a ghost town
So, Z....How much do YOU make, per hour, to sit at your keyboards, here at ATS and provide 'Info'??
Tough one that... I would have to calculate the costs involved in providing mybandwidth to all those hundreds of thousand visitors that access my
website with every post I have on here...
You know... thanks for bringing this up... I need to put in for a raise
How is one's record, online, billed??
Well in Cliff's case I understand it is via ad clicks
an average member, being 'paid' is just ridiculous.
Why would anyone want to pay an 'average' member?

Have you seen the contribution factor of the average member? I swear the trolls far out
number the agents...
However, a series of cabal-based co-ordinated attack posts have been noted, mostly on the Political sites. While likely not paid, it denotes a
certain agenda.....
That is why I stay out of politics and religion for the most part... all side have an agenda... its the nature of the beast... Mankind has been
killing each other over that for millenia
