Are the People Who Answer Questions Paid Staff?

- Start date
In summary, the people who help with questions are all volunteers who get paid in terms of their enjoyment of the site.

No. The only "paid" person here is the site owner/admin, Greg Bernhardt. The rest of us "staff" (Mentors, Science Advisors, Homework Helpers) are all volunteers.

And don't remind them. Can you believe these suckers do this FOR FREE?
I'm trying to get some of them to clean my house and work in a large field I'm trying to build.

We get paid in terms of distracting ourselves from the work we *should* do. 
And by the thanks we get from the people we help.
And, errr... sometimes by anger tantrums from people who feel we don't help enough.

One of the biggest payments I get is from the fine education I'm getting here.

1. Are all the people who answer questions on this platform paid staff?
No, not all the people who answer questions on this platform are paid staff. Some may be volunteers or community members who are knowledgeable about the topic and want to help others.
2. How can I tell if the person answering my question is a paid staff member?
There is no specific way to tell if the person answering your question is a paid staff member. However, they may have a badge or label on their profile indicating that they are a verified expert or employee of the platform.
3. Do paid staff members have more authority or credibility when answering questions?
Not necessarily. While paid staff members may have more experience and training in their field, non-paid members can also provide valuable insights and information. It is important to consider the source and do further research when evaluating the credibility of an answer.
4. Are paid staff members required to answer a certain number of questions per day?
This may vary depending on the platform or organization. Some paid staff members may have a set quota of questions they are expected to answer, while others may have more flexibility. However, it is important to note that all answers should be well-researched and accurate, regardless of the number of questions answered.
5. Is there any way to contact or request a specific paid staff member to answer my question?
This may also vary depending on the platform or organization. Some may have a feature where users can request a specific paid staff member to answer their question. Alternatively, users can also reach out to the staff through their profile or by submitting a support ticket.
