Is AB payment on the grounds of peice work?

[ruby27]

I have noticed that some ABers are more prolific than others when it comes to asking questions and some are more productive when it comes to answering.

Does AB pay more for quantity or quality?

Can I nominate Gromit for a Christmas bonus for both quality and quality in the News section.

I have other nominations but I thought I would wait until China Doll had a change to complain first.

[Lady Muck]

Gromit?! Are you kidding me?! All he does is set me up, we all know I provide the entertainment, he's a puppet in my game hahahahaha! (He's gonna kill me isn't he!

I want a nomination! In fact I demand one. One for China Doll and Lady Muck!

[jno]

usually not much either way. But every three months, when the internet inspectors come round, there's always a rush to get the sections looking full of newly minted and highly polished questions. Gromit was probably able to negotiate special rates fro supplying a lot of Qs at short notice. Enough to pay his subscription to the Telegraph, anyway

[Lady Muck]

Telegraph?! Do me a favour... News of the World more like...

[Gromit]

Thank you ruby27.

And if there is a bonus for top quality answers then you are quids in too.

Er, I have never clicked that 'pay me' button. Have I missed out on vast royalties? Always assumed it was a some sort of a con.

I'd want paying in Creamy Lancashire and Crackers.

[Lady Muck]

I want a nomination damn it! I'm a big contributer to this site you know....

[Gromit]

Is that posts or BMI?

[Lady Muck]

What's BMI?

[jno]

British Midland airline, no doubt

Coughs, thanks jno

GROMIT! Utter swine.... you can go right off some people.

[ruby27]

Is there a higher payment for the different topics?

Would say a serious answer on Science be worth one amount

and say Question on answerbank only be worth a different amount.

So is it worth asking one really expensive quality question, or loads of quick cheap and easy answers?

[China Doll]

Cheap and easy all the way.

[jno]

differential payments would be an excellent idea, ruby. Say �25.70 for anything on astrophysics, 2p for an AB Suggs question, and anyone posting in ChatterBank would have to pay 50p a pop. This would provide AB with more income than the average American questionnaire about Kucinich and hamburgers.

[ruby27]

jno - more brilliant ideas.

I hope the Ed is taking note. If you get China Doll to endorse this, it will be taken up immediately.

I just hope we can have a meter or something where you can see how much credit you have so people don't end up going into debt after a night on CB. Otherwise the bailiffs will get called in and we will have posters and their possessions repossessed.

good thinking, ruby; some CB contributors are definitely in the subprime category

[China Doll]

Gives jno's idea her full approval

Not that anyone ever listens to me!

[Robinia]

oh, will I get back payments for all of my gardening expertise? shall we say �15 p hr?...that's very cheap you know, but I don't get my hands dirty anymore...

let me see, 4 years worth....wonder if it'll buy me a summerhouse....
