Do fiverr moderators get paid for moderating?

Exactly! That is the objective of the forum, to exchange opinions and experiences 😃

[vickiespencer]

Know of at least 4 platform users who "thread bumped" at least 14 threads that were 4 to 5 weeks old by making the same exact post over and over 14 or more times. When I asked one of them about it their answer was they wanted to be a Grand Master. So they are jamming  spamming the Fiverr Forum in order to get more points to achieve their goal. They know what they are doing.

For me, SPAM is something very different from what you mention

It’s not me “mentioning it” 😉 

you quoted a part of the definition that was serving your views but you purposely ignored the part that you didn’t serve your purpose, so I just quoted the full definition of the word “spam” and not my “opinion”. 
 

if you’ll open a profile of that person (or many others) you’ll see that they send only one message to all topics no matter what is the discussion in that topic. And that is definition of spam.

I insist that we are in a forum for debates and there should be the freedom to express ourselves freely

And that is correct. I do like a good debate with exchange of opinions like we are having right now, because it’s a meaningful conversation. And all those “same problem. Yassss. Of course. And active forum” on the contrary are not meaningful nor they express any opinions or adding value to the conversation, it’s simply done to gain a forum badge

Also, when I brought this issue to the Fiverr Forum administrator with proof of who was "thread bumping" he said they could be reported for that behavior.

Además, cuando le presenté este problema al administrador del Fiverr Forum con una prueba de quién estaba "interrumpiendo el hilo", dijo que podían ser denunciados por ese comportamiento. 

Wow! I suppose that the reasons must be varied but now that you mention this I think that the vast majority of these people do not write with the intention of contributing or giving an opinion but to get a rank. What is rank for? In the old forum, even though I am relatively new, I did not participate much because the interface seemed uncomfortable but now I like it a lot. I suppose the best solution would be to limit the ranges to the length of the content and its originality.

We have not been told, but they reflect Forum participation. Until earlier today I had the same rank as many of the 'scammers.' Yet my contribution to the Fiverr Forum is genuinely help full and not of the 'spam' variety. I am off to relax for the evening.

No se nos ha dicho, pero reflejan la participación en el Foro. Hasta el día de hoy tenía el mismo rango que muchos de los 'estafadores'. Sin embargo, mi contribución al Fiverr Forum es realmente de ayuda completa y no de la variedad 'spam'. Me voy a relajarme por la noche. 

Yes, I know that because I usually read your answers and they have helped me a lot, as well as those of 3 other users that I am following around here. A pity really that there are people who want everything quickly and effortlessly.

Because the definition of spam is this: "Unsolicited email that is sent to a large number of recipients for advertising or commercial purposes" I don't think that in a discussion forum there is such a thing if a link is not shared. 

Or "irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the internet, typically to a large number of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc.".

The posts we're referring to as spam are irrelevant to the topic, and they're typically posted either because they want a higher forum rank, or because they believe that posting on the forum will bring them sales (in other words, advertise their services somehow), or both.

So yes, it is spam. And it's cluttering the forum and making some users not want to participate (plus it can make it difficult to find an answer to a question, or to have a debate; imagine a debate where you have to scroll down a ton of posts like "thank you for your useful comment", "great tips", "this is very useful for a newbie like me", "welcome to the forum", and other stuff that has literally nothing to do with the topic or the debate).

New forum, new format, new moderation. This doesn't seem all that unusual to me.

volunteer freelancers

That is why they are called "volunteers". No one is twisting their arms to continue giving their time freely to police the forum. Some people just like moderating forums I guess.

Haven't seen much of the paid moderators lately. Then again, I haven't been on the forum as much either. Maybe they went back to do some "training". It was needed.

Haha, one of them is actually a seller... or has a gig up. I chuckled on the content of such gig. It might be a matter of time before they will take it down after I post this. I'm not exactly sure if the gig violates ToS, but I just found it funny. 😆

The magic one seems to be in the wrong category (it's in the health, nutrition & fitness instead of the spell casting subcategory).  Maybe it shouldn't really say it's 100% accurate/there's also the "Services that promise outcomes that are not in your control" rule - though maybe other spell/magic gigs do that (they don't really check the spell/magic gigs fully - there's no test) or the "do whatever you want" bit (since some things won't be allowed eg. money spells). Though I think there were other staff gigs from years ago where they set them as a test and I don't think they were serious ones.

I am leaning to this being the case. Likely just a test and not serious. Although it really is purchasable. 😂
