All moderation is done on our own time, without numerations, and simply for the enjoyment of the hobby. Nothing more..
These yearly memberships do have an expiry, of which is clearly noted in the first post of the relevant thread. There should be no confusion if actually read BEFORE committing your payment.
These memberships go towards the cost of running the site. Figure that with the size of the forum, the server needed to carry it, and the backup of such. It isn't an insignificant amount...
We all benefit from this, and appreciate it immensely. This forum is essentially carried by it's members.
Unfortunately this member, now removed, just doesn't get it. A shame really. But calling it a money making scheme, and the owner rude, is entirely false.

I'll just say - I appreciate the moderation team and will be donating again next year too.

CalSRQ1 · 30 December 2020, 01:21 PM

Best run forum and by far nicest community I’ve ever been a part of. Mods do an excellent job and well deserving of our thanks.

Also nicely done on moving OP along.

Jocke · 30 December 2020, 03:35 PM

You don't have to pay for visiting here, all kind of donations is is not something you have to do. So what this money is used for is
unimportant IMHO. Getting a large, well-functioning forum costs money and those who ask a question like this of course have no
idea what this means. As simple as mathematics is, if you have problems with this, you donate nothing and move on.

sgwatchguy · 30 December 2020, 04:26 PM

There’s only one way this could have ended....

Thanks to all the moderators. What you do is genuinely appreciated.

shaunylw · 30 December 2020, 04:56 PM

When i clicked on the OPs name, only to see the “banned”, i laughed out loud on the couch. What a strange complaint. I appreciate this little corner of the web we get to play in, and the minimal optional donation is not enough for how much joy i get from being here.

Agree on all points. It’s really well run, the mods do a great job on keeping things civil, which is near impossible on a worldwide forum. And yes, the nicest members.

A cool million

It's all about health, happiness & family. The rest are just necessary inconveniences we have to deal with.

Exactly that Rob and sometimes its a thankless job, hopefully we mods have passed a bit of knowledge over the past 15 odd years but thats what I joined for.

Was a moderator on a busy local motorcycling forum. I have a lot of admiration for the moderators of all forums. A job that is voluntary and thankless.

OP, you don’t need to donate to be part of this forum. I donated and been donating because I have learned enough from this forum to save thousands in otherwise mistakes that I would have made.

Wow. Complaining about money. You actually get so much more from the Forum and the members it is worth so much more. I appreciate this Forum and everyone that makes it work day to day. I would pay 10x the amount charged for membership just to be here.

Token74 · 30 December 2020, 11:18 PM

This is the best moderated forum out there in my opinion, the mods do a great job. I would happily pay double so they could get paid!

Whatever they get paid it’s not enough, they do a pretty outstanding job at maintaining civility around here and weeding out the bad eggs.

I can assure no monetary gain is given to any mod, the only gain we get is passing on the knowledge of the RWC in general and keeping members safe from like you put the bad eggs..

It has all been said, but notice there is no advertising on TRF? Another benefit of supporting via pledging.
