If I'm bad, do I get to stay gold without paying the $15 upgrade fee?

Wow. Well-deserved, Micromass. I just noticed your new badge!

Several times what you get paid as a regular member. Here's the PF salary formula: Denote the base salary paid to all regular members as $B. Homework helpers get paid $B×100; SAs, another factor of 100; mentors, yet another factor of 100. Multiply those factors and, yep, we mentors are paid a million times the puny salary that you receive (zero is an admittedly tiny salary by anyone's scale[/size]). The luxury life of a mentor is quite fantastic!

Wow! You guys must be living it big huh? I can imagine you people sipping the finest wine in your Jacuzzi with an array of women as you write these posts.

Thanks for your amazing work as a mentor Kurdt !
Congratulations Micromass for being promoted to mentor ! :smile:

I think there is one more member who deserve to be promoted to mentor - tiny-tim .

I also think that it would be better that members are promoted to mentors by voting. Correct me if I am being unreasonable.:redface:

Being a mentor is a pretty big deal and has enormous implications on the quality of the forum. If the election process were left up the the average forum-goer, I fear it would be more of a popular vote, and that would not be good. Even though the mentors of PF are likable, sometimes the best person for the job isn't the most popular. :smile: This is evidenced by Micromass's recent appointment; I mean, really, who likes that guy?Totally kidding. Micro, you're freaken awesome. /wink

This is why democracy doesn't work! PF is a meritocracy. That said, I feel really said now for missing this topic for so long. Congratulations Micromass!
