i see the force is strong in you young Hootius ... we shall watch the skies for the signs and wait for them to fall and shall smash them to the ground and trample them until unrecognizable ... for although the body is weak the spirit is strong and we shall lift up against this unrighteous foe and cast it out of the forum and PCLOS realm and into the never ending abyss ... for we are the faithful few in this world of greedy slimeballs ... we are strong!!!!

I can't imagine how would I make the difference between an ordinary help question and a "mole" action. :-\

I'm always confused (always  ;)) ...

Is there a paid support available, from which PCLinuxOS gets paid ?
Or, you mean people jump on irc, or the Forum, and impart the knowledge; with a charge to someone they are helping, in guise as a PCLinuxOS 'Help and Support' person ?

Very different environment still for me here, after being constantly under DDos attacks, spammers posting porn, spending hours each day deleting terribly offensive posts, banning IP's, reporting people to the police, in the AV Forums of Windows.

I can certainly push the 'Report to Moderator button' however, if this is what would be the capacity in which I could help ?

No. No such exists. Donations made via the usual methods and a very little bit from merchandise are the only financial support.

No. The opposite is meant. People come to our forum or IRC to get answers for their customers. They get paid to support those customers, but the support comes from us. They make no donations to PCLinuxOS for this. They pocket the money. >:(

Please use the 'Report to Moderator button,' if you suspect a violation.
