Title: Check your Redeemed Credits
Post by: Sedge on March 23, 2015, 15:13
The redeemed credits bug was once again up to no good last Friday and over the weekend.  My royalty rate dropped by 1% and my redeemed credit total dropped by over 1000.  They seemed to have fixed it already, and they've pledged to adjust our royalty earnings accordingly.  Here's the forum link:

It happens to me too. My RC was lowered to the basic level at 25% (exclusive).

Honestly, it's just a joke anymore, with their inability to correctly count RCs, images selling here there and everywhere with no credits, etc.  Just get rid of it.

I don't even pay attention any longer. The RC system is broken. The only redeeming grace is that for this year (at least) we are still grandfathered.

Not sure what a better (and more fair) solution would be for next year. Can't base it on DL's any longer, and Canister's are so "pre-2010". I'm content with grandfathering, but I can certainly understand why others would not be.

I hate this IS credit system and the one year commission ranking is ****

No kidding, both are right:

(from IS page)

Example: If you are a non-exclusive contributor and someone downloads an extra-small photo, your redeemed credit total will increase by 1. If they download an extra-large photo, your redeemed credit total will increase by 15.

Tell me how someone DLs an XS or XL, didn't they make the site, one size fits all? It's impossible!

Hmm that's funny (not). I ask myself now.
