Title: 100% day royalties
Post by: ShadySue on May 29, 2014, 08:54

"Dear Contributor,
Following 100% Royalty Day on May 14th, we have made an adjustment to your account in the amount of $0.00. Please note that this adjustment is for pay-as-you-go cash and credit sales that occurred on May 14th whereby 100% royalties were received. A separate adjustment will be made for any double royalties earned on Image and Credit Subscriptions."

Excuse me, aren't you missing something?

Yes, obviously I'm firing this to CR. But it's a two month waiting time for tickets, apparently.

There is a thread in the iStock forum on it already. Seems they pushed one out a bit too early.

Fits one of my favorite phrases about incompetence - Couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery :)

Mine is "Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity."  Then again, in some cases both are true.

In most companies that would be the last time that person hits the send button. In this case unlikely though.

Once is a bad luck, twice is coincidence, and three times is enemy action.

Actually, nothing to be surprised or bothered about. Just business as usual.

The payments are in now.  :)
I think I've been short-changed, though.
