Hey Jason...what do you mean payments are going down? I couldnt find it in the FAQ

Seriously though, I was thinking about this a few days ago and thought that they would probably reduce payments, but possibly give a voucher payment with each review, I think a 3p reduction and a 3p voucher payment would be ok

Though probably will only be cut in half.

I wonder if along with reduced payments they will make people earn more vouchers first. This will sort out the good from the bad as i imagine a lot of people will not bother if they know they have to work harder to start earning

That would be a good idea, I think possibly they reduced the song requirement too soon, but thats probably to link with the sister site so they can offer more 4/5 star reviews.

bottom line here - i blame martin lewis first and the mirror second.

if martin hadn't plastered the site all over his news of the world column as a "top money making site" then this would have never snowballed like it has

I expected this to happen... wonder what they'll be put down to...

I still haven't received my withdrawal from Saturday into my Paypal account - do you think I should email STP?

bchnnc

Ive not had my withdrawal either, i wouldnt worry as eventually it will arrive... if it doesnt in 10 days contact them

Ive only just come online, shock shock! And OMG, i don't review the songs from money, if anything i review through enjoyment and keeping my mind occupied whilst i am bored...

Congrats Sarah on your stars and ranking!!!

yeah, of course - but it's not supposed to be a money making site. it's supposed to be a music site that aims to get unsigned bands and artists financed and releasing records that also just happens to pay you for helping out.

it's been misrepresented in the national press twice, and i think this is really what's led to this situation.

I've reached three stars for the first time tonight! I'll probably be back down to two again tomorrow though.

I agree, but then by the same token STP really push this avenue as well, again possibly too much.
