I think staff are hired due to them giving clean and friendly support.

BUT

they don't reply to every single topic they find on the support board. They might reply to a support question once or twice a day then retreat. A lot of people are giving support to every topic they see and that is good, but that just makes you predictable in your actions.

Posting a lot = still not a good way to earn staff position

If you noticed, a lot of the staff that was chosen didn't reach 1,000+ AFTER they got on. Now, you see a lot of 1,000 2,000 3,000+ posters who post at support almost everyday and well...

I have now equiped my flame suit...have at it

If you mean pay but this definition:

3 : to suffer the consequences of an act
- pay one's dues 1 : to earn a right or position through experience, suffering, or hard work


I'd say we are all paying

The payment is along the lines of an @invisionfree.com email address, a shiny, seksy team icon, and free drinks and snacks in the staff lounge.
