Also, do you need any help reviewing articles before they get posted ? | ||

I think a reason of this cause it's a different section. Even when you select the sc2 forum from the top bar you don't get to the news stuff. Hell its only recently i found those recaps/previews exist at all. | ||

There is only 1 banner with an ad on the site so that doesn´t make a lot of money for them. And a lot of people use adblock so the site doesn´t get anything from them at all. The only other source of income is the margin between cost and sellprice of the articles in the store (assuming this goes to the site and not the team). The costs on the otherside are: - Access for the writers to leagues - Servercost - Fulltime admin staff (and they work really long days) - Miscelanious and things I can´t think of right now So in they end there just isn´t any money to pay the other people that volunteer on the site. There are about 250 people involved in the writing/translating/graphics/moderating etc. and no way to pay them all. If they end up with a little extra cash, most of the time, they also invest it back into the community through something like a tournament with prizemoney. Perhaps when the revenue increases a bit more the senior members of the different volunteerteams can get some income but it will be a long way of before all volunteers can get a monetary compensation. ---- To bad I don´t have the insight for the stories etc. they are asking for. Lately I found I watch most streams while doing other responsibilities so I don´t really pick up on the details I'm sure they make quite a bit from that single ad, this site has a lot of pageviews. Another revenue stream, the TL store (which has sold out of thousands of t-shirts and other items), has to bring in a decent amount of money. Not to mention miscellaneous things such as the documentary they released "Liquid Rising" which had over $50,000 donated to it. I am not claiming to know the finances of Team Liquid however I think people are severely underestimating it's profitability. | ||

You don't know where the profit from the store goes to or any profit for that matter | ||

I think TL and other sites value their writers work and would pay them if they could. Hell, even Cadred.org doesn't offer salary to their writers (as far as i remember reading their recruiting posts) and they are fairly big site, aren't they? IMO this is great opportunity to get some experience and get better as a writer. If i would be interested and capable of doing stuff like this, i wouldn't hesitate to apply and work for free. Even getting tournament pass is great for starters.  | ||

Btw, I've been a volunteer here now for about 7-8ish years or so and have never received a dime, nor would I want to. | ||

A better question would be: How much emphasis do you place on one's moderation history? | ||
