Miltimillion dollar casinos pay a dollar for a photo from microstock to show on the LCD screens. How stupid do photograpers feel when they get robbed like this for their work. Peanuts are for monkeys but photographers get peanuts for microstock brag about getting cheated with low pay and are happy. Maybe you can get a book to buy a picture for 49p and brag about that to. Don't wake up the microstock sites need you.

I'm assuming if i were to put them under rights protected it would get a higher rank?

Because most of my stuff is exclusive to them right now anyway so how could i go about changing that? or its too late and only my new work can be put rights protected?

ranking has nothing to do with the way you set the license. rights managed exclusive is the buyers terms not your choice. all they did was change the name from licensed to rights managed exclusive, exclusive use by the buyer, not Alamy exclusive photos. You need to read the changes and contract again.

The site looks good - almost like another Lucky Oliver.  Anyone selling anything there? 

�At moodboard we don�t make photographers jump through hoops to see higher earnings.  If pictures are strong enough from the outset, and photographers are happy to give us image exclusivity, we�ll team them with the moodboard collection that enhances their best features.�

Another micro dead end site added to the list and a weak watermark.
