Seriously though, who talks like this? Homes?

Actually, my sorority does this on our website. Whenever you register for something, pay dues, etc. it has a simple addition problem to solve and there's a message like: to prove you are a human, please answer this question.

For real, tho. Dude started that fundraiser. Dude also said he would start giving mofos avatars in exchange for some loot. I remember dude sayin some shit like "Due to the high demands of payroll I need y'all to sow a seed of whatever y'all can..." Or some shit like that. Then he said he was hittin mofos up either through PayPal or a credit card. That's why I assumed moderators got a paycheck. I'll bet dude will eventually start charging muthafuggas because he said the shit is high as hell to keep active. Dude probably got overdraft fees coming out his ass LOL!

Moderators and super moderators DO NOT get paid to serve as such on GC.

So all this time, dude wasn't payin y'all? That's scandalous as hell. Forget I said I wanted to be a moderator then LOL. I thought y'all had set times that y'all would log on to moderate and every two weeks dude would direct deposit y'all some loot for y'alls services of at least 6 hunnid in the bank.

The way some people act over being a moderator you'd think they got paid!

Would it be possible to block the introduction section on the main list of updated threads that shows on the homepage?
