    He absolutely deserves it. And hopefully paid well.

    As someone who runs a community not nearly as large as HN, not enough.

    I think it’s a perfect question in the spirit of Hacker News.

    Edit to add: it’s also a perfect demonstration of the limits of a forum moderated by someone beholden to venture capitalists ;)

    I think this question was nosy and rude. It's perfectly fine to discuss anonymized salaries, or aggregate salaries stats, or volunteer your own (after all, where else can we discuss that?), but why would you want to pry into a specific person's life, especially since he's basically doing public service for all of us here?

    A question like that about fair salary is about the job, not the person.

    The job is singular and not anonymous, general, or abstract.

    The question was about the person.

    Damn right. I used to moderate a medium-sized subreddit... Readers don't imagine the amount of shit mods must shovel out the way to keep the place sane - and even that feels like recreation compared to dealing with abusive users.

    To the mod' who is going to have this message in his suspicious pile because of a four letters word I put in there on purpose: thank you !
