    Default Getting paid to solve on DD???

    I don't know if this is a good idea but it would definitely would help out everyone here if it got the ok! So I was thinking that if someone asked a question and was offering a payment for the correct answer then the person who answers it gets paid a certain amount of money...

    Comments please don't make me look like an idiot *i hate that...*

    That would be nice, but being that this is a public forum it's not practical. Most of us just come here for a past time and enjoy helping others and learning in turn as well. Don't get me wrong, I would love to get paid to help out; but that's why I have an actual job to pay the bills with. Just my thoughts.

    I've often pondered that many of the designers asking questions I answer are making money from this, and I'm just hanging out for free. Not that I'm particularly bothered....

    It would be hard to enforce and cut down on people asking for help.
    I'm not bothered by people asking questions for free.
    However, I wouldn't mind some payment from those who are making a lot of money, especially if it's directly from our help.
    But it would be too hard to make this a rule, and it would just be weird.

    Maybe even a donation type thing. That would be great too.

    That would be a great mod to have in vBulliten.

    Heh.

    You do get the odd job from DD, and being well-known here is a pretty good recommendation.
