    The rewards are the payment.

    Quote from the FAQ (emphasis mine):
    "Do I get paid to be a part of the Expert Community?
    Yes, the OpenLogic Rewards program pays Expert Community members upon successful resolution of an incident. OpenLogic charges enterprise for support. OpenLogic's internal technical support team resolves basic issues. OpenLogic, in turn, contracts with members of the community to resolve more complex issues."
