Author Topic: Check your Redeemed Credits (Read 3370 times)

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!
