Looking for a contact.
Question answered by honorarykid in Scientology

Hi, I'm looking for the contact information for the group that is
paying people to rate the cultist's answers with 1 star and the
experts answers with 5 stars.
I already get my pay packet every other week, along with new
instructions on how to deal with each expert, but lost the
address to sign up new readers. Seems "they" forgot to include
it in the package. Is there a "hiring bonus" for getting others to
rate answers?
Does anyone here have the address? Private answers are OK.

I was tempted to answer you in the same joking manner as
the question was posed, but as several others have already
done that, I don't want to run the humor thing into the
ground. Although to be sure, the cute jokes about secret
conspiracies by Marcabian space aliens and English Bankers
are based on actual, L. Ron Hubbard "scriptures" and
policies.
I'll answer seriously.
I rate poor answers as '1' and good answers as '4' or '5'
stars. I don't care which positions are being advanced.
As a pro-Scientology expert, Imredfox has given several
good answers which I have rated highly. And tenspan has
also gotten a few high ratings from me. There have been
some mistaken answers from experts critical of Scientology
which I have rated lowly (although, I admit, this is not
common, as most critical experts seem to care about the
issues, and try to address the question honestly, and with
some thought and research applied).
Most of the '1' stars I give are for "answers" which don't
really answer the question, but only seek to propagandize,
or which contain misinformation or claim knowledge which I
know to be false or misleading.
A sure fire way to get a '1' star rating from me, is to vomit
up an unthinking, non-responsive boilerplate response.
So, as we have seen too often here, if a pro-Scientology
experts answers a specific question with something to the
effect of "everything you'd ever want to know about this
issue can be found at www.scientology.org, there's only one
rating that such an answer deserves.
Hope this helps.

Well, I haven't read the other answers yet (I read them in
reverse order), but it seems we actually do have the same
rating system.
I, too, have rated a few of tenspan's answers rather highly.
Insightfull answers always get a 5, and trite answers get a 1,
humor and/or politeness in the face of "jerks" can boost the
ratings I use.
