Why do you hire so many Filipinos?
Well, first of all, my wife is a Filipina, so I have a lot of connections with that country. I also formerly operated another website that was dedicated to the Philippines, and because of that, I met a lot of qualified people looking for work.
Are your Filipino editors paid a fair wage?
Absolutely! But if you doubt me, just ask them.
Shouldn't you hire wargamers?
It doesn't require a wargaming background to format text, process graphics, update databases, or to do most of the work of running a website. However, all of our workers are required to learn about the hobby.
Is it true that some of your workers are transgender?
Our policy is to not disclose the private information of our staff members.

Tipping

Is it allowed to tip a staff editor for good service?
Yes. Editors who are able to accept online tips have a Tip Editor button on their Profile pages.
How much should I tip?
Tipping customs vary around the world. The editors would be grateful for any contributions.
If I give a tip, can I get out of the Dawghouse early?
No. Tips are only to be given for ordinary services rendered.
Are the editors allowed to ask for a tip?
No.
When I clicked on the link, it gave me a different name.
That is normal. It is the PayPal account which our editor has designated to receive tips. In most cases, you should also see the name of the editor there.
