....When any editor, but especially paid editors, start talking about their "rights" it is clear that things are very far gone. ..... Jytdog (talk) 06:37, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Sums up the climate that has built up around paid editing. I love how they think saying stuff like this would make people more inclined to openly declare.
What's even more hilarious, is that this "quote" is entirely misleading - the person in question had actually mentioned "user rights", and while his meaning was unclear, as detailed below, it is clear he was meaning his NPP user right. A perfectly standard Wikipedia nomenclature.
Why did Jytdog mirespresent this person's words to imply they were arrogantly claiming a "right" to do paid editing? Because Jytdog is currently engaged in an attempt to apply the yellow star to this editor. Why did he succeed in this blatant violation of WP:CIV? Because what he said, while not relevant to the post he was replying to, is nonetheless an accurate statement of how the community feels.
There's the usual fly in the ointment here. Jytdog is going on and on about how this person should not be editing directly, he needs to post his changes for review and approval. Like most people do, his target has spotted this is not a requirement, and Jytdog, as usual, has to resort to posting nonsense like this, with the inevitable reply.....
I laid out the procedure for paid editing above. What, exactly, is unclear about you being strongly discouraged from editing directly as a paid editor? That is a real question -- please answer it. Jytdog (talk) 06:15, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
What is unclear to you? I made the disclosure on talk, including using the template you recommended; I answered all of your questions here; I never made any attempt to hide that I had been contacted about editing the page; and I also submitted to New Page Patrol my intentions and told them that I would understand if that segment of the community didn't want me to have NPP. I additionally said that I would not do any paid editing in the future because it's a hassle. Please, tell me what is wrong here about my behavior--I already have a perspective on yours and how you've lied about what I did. ―Justin (koavf) 06:18, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
As usual, other people become confused because Jytdog can't tell the difference between discouraged and prohibited, or rather, doesn't want to. It is also not helpful that Jytdog did another thing he often does - after the user had said "I may do the {{requested edit}} thing but unlikely." Jytdog responded not with a clear comment about how believes they should not be doing that, but a bizarre parable about Salvidrim.
That was useful inside as it illustrates another sick aspect of how paid editing is dealt with, a two tier approach Jytdog seems entirely on board with - if you are caught as an Administrator, you get desysopped. Since ordinary users can't be desysopped, you get banned. Same crime, different punishment. Even though Wikipedia has a very clear page which says Administrators are trusted users, held to a higher standard, so there should be a different reaction here - the Administrator should be worse off than a regular editor caught doing the same thing.
