We get chosen following a *TON* of monetary bribery

. No really, I can't say how Admin's choices are made, exactly, bc I'm not admin.
I can tell you that we volunteer all of our time - it's really for the love of yorkies and the love of the YT community. There is no requirement, in terms of when or how much, a Mod is here - but YT is monitored pretty much all of the time. Some of the "monitoring" is done by the members too - bc members help us keep an eye on things. If/when members see something awry, they can hit the "report" button, and an email instantly goes out to Admin and to the Mods, so someone tries to take a look at those situations ASAP.
Thanks for your comment

. We all do our best...it doesn't always please all 65,000 of us at once (

), but we do try our best.
