Bort and you guys can say you are not employees of warrior games or whatever it is called. and this is done so Bort doesn't have to deal with the tax issues I am sure. but you are receiving a payment for your services. flex costs money so flex has a monetary value placed upon it. so you are getting paid for the job you are doing.
Maybe someone should speak to some IRS agents and see if you guys are reporting your flex payment on your tax returns. (for those that do not know that was a joke) and Romo I really don't care if you guys claim to be employees or not. by definition you are a employee. and as a employee you should always try to make the company you are representing look good. personally I usually don't give 2 craps about how Moderators conduct themselves. but lately it seems you guys just aren't consistent at all. and to some of us that just read the forums and occasionally joke around that is disturbing at times.
I am not Mod bashing here I just see the inconsistency on the moderation and it makes me scratch my head at times.
I wrote a really well thought out argument about how NCAA athletes should be classified employees and that the NCAA should be made subject to anti-trust law with respect to artificially driving down what they could achieve in a free market like the NCAA had to with the assistant coaches in basketball.
