User blog comment:Sannse/How to Block Someone in Your Community the Right Way/@comment-1863003-20160802174842/@comment-26402117-20160802191106


 * The payment would be a little meager, and would reduce the motivation Wikians have to create content and build the constituent wikis.
 * It would also slow down the development of the site to continue working on the "Wikia" blend of MediaWiki, which is always improving.
 * Editing would become about money and it would disrupt the site much like how achievement badges may cause badge farming.
 * There are no qualifications required to edit, would this continue to be true if Wikia took that path? Barring basic edit quality.
 * Would giving users money benefit anyone? The Wikia company, site and its staff are a better beneficiary than I am, godknows.

I feel like I wouldn't put a price on being a Wikian.
