We all need to understand that the admin does not have time to spend on the website as they have other things to take care too so if the moderator of the website can process at least small payments then it will put less burden on admin and will be easier for users too as they do not need to wait for long.

Moderators can be allowed to add a special withdraw method if they have the capacity like the case of one moderator who added the payeer withdraw method on bizdustry.But i just think the admin can assign other individuals that can be able to process payments if he is out of reach.more especially if it is not a sore propriotorship entity.But from the look of things it is not all that easy to merge or create partnerships online.That level of trust to have more than one paying master is something that is not easy.There was once a situation on bizdustry when Alaxender went on vacation and handled over the site to the other admin.But he made emphasis that he was the only one with the authority to pay.That means the trust levels were not established to that degree of having another pay master.

I totally do not accept Moderators to pay. They can help process payments.
they cannot be trusted i think they are members or should i say users not yet among the board of trustees.

Yes it will be better for the site. The admin should fix some amount which a moderator can process for the users. On many of the sites users complain that there is delay of payment , this will surely reduce the complaints.

It is very impossible for the moderator to carry the burden of paying the members. You were once a moderator, do you think, you will agree to the idea to pay the members @Hate2Wait . But if there is a binding contract, it will happen but if none, it will not happen.

I feel mod should have the access and should pay at least users that have small payments like till $10 or $20 and this will make it easier for admin to process only big payments

I think that depends on the policy of the site owner. I personally think that it should be the job of the site owner or Admin. Moderator should focus on checking the posts.

Though this would be good as members would be paid even when the admin is not around and the payment would also be fast. On the other hand this might make it difficult for the admin to be able to track how revenue are spent.

I too have thought that for quite long time. I hope the moderators can do that job very well as they are very active on the site and know the activities of each and every user.

If those are very trusted persons it can be allowed. But moderators usually don't do that since they are just employers and like we all know, all payments go trough main boss.

I think it is a very good idea, there's nothing wrong with moderators paying members from time to time. The admin can start by assigning little funds to the moderator if he's someone that can't be trusted with huge funds.

Yes if they are trusted. But then again these days it is becoming extremely rare to even be able to find trusted people out there that you can work with, especially when it has to do with money for that matter.

If am forum owner I would also not allow moderators to process payments. Maybe if they invest some money in my project but give access to all funds is just to risky.

Yes, the risk involved is just too high. Majority of these persons the admin might have not even met them physically cause some might be from different countries. So leaving your funds for them to handle is out of the question.

Sure, I don't see anything wrong with this . Moderators can be allowed this duty But the admin need to assign these individuals that he or she can trust since it involves payment

Moderators should be entrusted with money to pay members? How well do you know any moderator for you to do that as a forum owner? For the sake of financial carefulness, let only the site owners pay.

I think it depends on the site owner's policy, but it's not bad if the site owner gives this task to people he trusts. The site owner can entrust a certain amount of money, and the trusted moderator must make regular and transparent reports about the remaining balance and money expenditure transactions that he has carried out.

It is a huge responsibility and you have to really trust the person to do such things I would not give the person this task if I don't trust or the person is not exspierenced with money
