I never got paid for moderation either, long story short I was a bit of a personality, through that I became a mod, thereafter I became an admin, loved admin stuff started resenting having to do moderation, sucked at it anyway. Got paid to roll out a new website and community by some random guy, it became a thing I started doing like about one or two a year, nothing much. Some paid me more to stick around for a while and stabilize/fix anything that came up for x months after successful role out.
