Everyone wants to be a mod. Are you prepared to be one ? Or you want it because it will rise your reputation? Or you ask it just to kill your time ? Or maybe it gets you more chances to ask for loans, that you wont get with simple name?
Mod is not easier job, it can be a burdain, there are good and bad days, and in every situation you have to be positive. Its not only your reputation that goes down, but sites to. You won't get paid, you will get lots of bashing, you wont get any medals for being nice and helpful.
I have been mod, admin and a sysops on a torrent site for 3 years straight, that time they asked for mods to be 6-12h a day, edit upload answer check mute delete, no pay. Its not the same..but
The question is:
Can you spend 3 hours a day on the site and stay positive?
I got 0.5btc for being positive and calming chat down on 9th when pd3 got delayed

.
You're MICRO though, you're a little different to the other mods, I guess you could be considered as a Senior Mod or something similar xD
I've gotten about 3 mBTC ($1.50) of tips over the last 4 days. Mods shouldn't expect tips and they should be able to spend hours upon hours on the site each day, deal with lots of spam and annoying situations in chat, etc. If you look at my "payment" per hour it's in the single-figure cents.

It isn't all fun and games lol, that's why experience is good. You gotta know what you're getting into.
"You won't get paid, you will get lots of bashing, you wont get any medals for being nice and helpful." is VERY true.
Yeah , earning should never be ur primary motivation.
I did earn alot on pd, but first thing i earned was reputation, respect and trust, when u have all that , some money will come eventually , on one way or another u will always get rewarded for good and honest work.
