OK... fair enough. I have a project that is expected to take me probably a weekend to research, test and hopefully have a solution by Monday. If I offer $10 for a solution and no one responds, what do I do? I've already paid $10 to buy 10 credit points and I can't guarrentee anyone will accept my project if I double that to $20 or $30, etc.

Also do this mean that moderators will be moderating and answering these questions or will moderators be providing this service on their own time. In other words, if a moderator regularly logged on for an hour a day to moderate/ answer questions, should they now be expected to log on for an extra x number of hours to answer paid questions...

All I see is smoke and mirrors... nothing is clear, at least not to me.
