Guides should get a stipend

I am not a guide. I know they are volunteers, but I think that they should get some small stipend (25 credits per month) from TS in appreciation. It's a hard job. I can't tell you how many time I've seen people ask questions and tear into the Guides when the answer wasn't what they wanted to hear. Also I'm amazed at how they can keep their sense of humor answering the same questions over and over again. (yes, I lurk in Live Help :) ).

  • Not trying to rain on your parade, but people would become guides in order to receive stipends. 

    However, I would be more than happy to see an effective method in place. 

    Current guides should totally get something.

  • Rook, I'm pretty sure people don't get to become guides just because they've decided they want to. There must be some sort of selection/training process first.
