Title: iStock abolishes RCs and increases commissions...
Post by: hatman12 on May 22, 2013, 04:11
No joke.  RCs abolished for Vectors, except for exclusive levels above 30%.  Lowest commission for non-exclusive vectors increased to 20%.  Minimum commission 30% for exclusives.

See the announcement in the istock forum.

Are you talking about this announcement from May 15th:
http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=353803&page=1 (http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=353803&page=1)
which was discussed in this thread:

The only more recent announcement I can see is that they're having a flash sale today - 50% off all vectors.

Oops, I didn't notice the date.  I just saw it under the sale announcement.  I wondered why nobody here had mentioned it.....

Perhaps leaf should just delete this thread.....
