So is Wardminter (Bewlay Bros) paid by Answerbank

[Oneeyedvic]

A friend of mine once mooted this point and I thought he was being ridiculous.

But, based on the answers he gives (hugely contentious) and the fact that every time he gets banned he comes back under a different user name but with the apparent backing of the Ed, does anyone else think that Wardminter is on here to encourage more people to come on to the site?

[Bewlay Bros]

I can give you the truthful answer.

Yes,

Not a great amount but the contract stipulates 28 questions per month. I get paid �5 per question if I reach 28 or �3.25 for any under 28. However, all my answers are off my own back.

Do you require any further information?

[Whickerman]

�3.25? They paid me �5.60 for the under 28 category - that's �4.20 in your real money. I'd be having a word if i were you. Course, being the same person I'll just go ahead and do it if that's ok.

[Bewlay Bros]

I am afraid there were only two positions. I got one and the other I shall remain silent on. If he or she wishes to state their interest on here, I shall leave it to them.

I clear about �200 a month on average after deductions, which i suppose is better than a kick in the nuts.

[Bewlay Bros]

Well as I type my colleauge has come forward.

Now the cat is out of the bag!!!!

[mrs_overall]

Just out of interest Wardy.... you say your answers are off your own back.
Does this mean you are told what questions to ask, or have I misunderstood you?

[figure]

Wardy, you've just enlighten me as to why we see so many crap questions, with no substance at all posted in succession by some. (Of course, you know I'm not referring to you or your questions.)

[Whickerman]

see ya then.

No my remit is to just be me.

Naturally I am governed by some law. And sometimes I do not bother including my more chatty questions.

[whiffey]

I hope so.

I had one run-in with Minter, which I think I lost, but he does at least keep highlighting the evils of Islam (complete waste of time in Britain 2008 of course).

Long may he continue. Britain needs plonkers. I think he may be a public school plonker (as am I), and jolly good too.

Within 100 years Britain will be engulfed by Calls to Prayer, and all Gromit's descendants will have been exterminated, despite his traitorous collaboration.

We need more Minters.

Hang on - if AB is paying BB for his 'slightly to right of Genghis Khan' views, surely then I could be paid to trot out my leftie Guardian-reading claptrap.

Right now I'm putting together a load of FREE TIBET banners with my mates, all of whom are wearing hemp clothing and and drinking Fair Trade coffee.

[Bewlay Bros]

Free market economy dear boy. The ABC of commerce.

[Whickerman]

If they're handing out Tibets I want one.

I'm not sure how i feel about smoking your clothes, but i suspect i approve.

[dot.hawkes]

errrrrrrrrr you get �5 if you reach 28?????? Am i being ripped off then??

[Bewlay Bros]

5 pounds per question dotty.

There may be a north south divide in pay structures.

[dot.hawkes]

It's more sinister than that, it is a sexist organisation ripping the female off still after over 100 years of the fight for female emancipation and equal rights. I am not happy no not one bit!

[Bewlay Bros]

It's a man's, mans world. And that, ultimately, is a very good thing.

Women cry too much.
