How much are forum moderators being paid for moderating forums like this forum, are they paid a fixed amount? How much time does a forum moderator spend daily on moderating the forum?

This is my earning for my posts, Referral and contest winning. Moderators are paid but at this time it's not a paid job on RIF.
Well, if they're not paid being a moderator makes sense. It can boost your ego and morale. Time comes they'll be paid according to the sites income.

A large majority of moderators for forum owners, do not earn money from them moderating. Usually it is just a volunteer position, and the forum in question isn't generally making enough to cover even a small monthly fee to pay moderators on a monthly basis (30-40 per month). Some Forum Owners will pay a rate, based on if they believe they will get better quality moderators if they offer a small monthly rate to do so. But generally speaking, it won't happen.

In my case, I have quite the bit of experience under my belt, and have been insistent for a number of years now about getting paid in some form to moderate. Rate would usually relate to how much work would be involved with it, and if I have the ability to decide how I would like to get paid. Some places make posting more frequently, worth it for a monthly rate, based on posting. Other places, I prefer a flat rate per month to get paid by.

As for a full time job, that is usually in high demand in certain sectors, and it can be hard to get those jobs, depending on what the job is, and what the work is focused on. Example being, Facebook and Youtube Content Moderators. Those companies pay relatively well for entry position jobs, due to the type of work involved, and the high turn over due to the content being moderated.

I also have no idea that how much a moderator is paid, it may be possible that one member from admin becomes a moderator, and if this is the case then he may take some percentage of profit.

I think if they are paid then they will do better with the moderating task. Generally, humans perform better their jobs when they are paid for it than when not.

I think it's really depends on the forum. Every forum has different payment rates. Like I was applying for the Job in one of the forums and they gave me a budget of $100 per month.

That's a good budget 100 dollars a month. Did you receive that 100 dollars budget? That's very impressive and how many post threads did you create? And how many hours have you spent working on that forum site daily? @Stardom22.
