50 - from round 31:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?&topic=233997.msg4053035#msg4053035You didn't know? I even quoted your previously discussed article. It doesn't make much practical difference anyway because it was an effort (mostly by me to be honest) to at least keep payments in line with 80 when bounded multipliers were incorporated. So it means good writers can still get max 75 (50 * 1.5), other writers less.
LOL weisoq--I totally missed the post. Lucky for me I had no objections
I was reading some of the more recent posts about support or the lack thereof, and here's my take on it:
1. People are generally willing to help, even if it's not exactly something they get paid to do, so team spirit is high. Exceptions seem to be few and far between and probably can be dealt with case by case.
2. Some of us (yes, yours truly included) don't always keep up with the forum so might miss support requests we can answer. Even when we do, it's easy if we're in a hurry to hope someone else answers the question first (and often that does happen). So it's possible this thread may not be the best place to post these requests.
3. For me PM's are a sure way to reach me, because even if I'm not on the Forum for a few days, I get the notification in my email. Then when I want to address them, I log onto the Forum and all my support requests (mostly signup requests) are in one place, not mixed in with my other emails. So if I'm the person to ask, then PM is the best way.
4. Having said that, PM is not the best way to get immediate support from me as I may not get back to the request for a day or two, so I generally encourage users to post their questions to the thread saying someone else might get to it sooner than I will, but I make an effort to still answer their question as soon as I can.
5. Even though we're all a team and there's a lot of cross help, it would be helpful to have something like an About Us page on the Devtome that is prominently linked to from the front page. This page would have a headline section for each admin and what each one does and his or her preferred contact method. For example for me, it's via forum PM, but for others it might be a specific email address, social media ID or text message, etc.)
6. We also have a prominently linked Devtome page that is organized by the various support needs users might have, and each section includes options on how to go about getting that support. In some cases it may be reaching out on this thread, but other cases may involve PM'ing a specific admin, or even sending a PM to a specific group of admins.
7. We also have a prominently linked Devtome page for updates/announcements/changes. Admins can make a point to check it regularly so they know when changes happen (if like me they missed it when it was announced here). When a change is posted on the announcement page, it should also be populated on any other policy pages so that all info is consistent. So for example, any pages which mention a writer share count limit of 80 should be changed to 50.
If there are no objections I'll go ahead and create an about us page and ask admins to post their own info once I have a good format down. At first admins will be listed in no particular order, but as more info is added I'll organize it into some logical fashion, grouping like admins together.
If there are no objections I'll create a page for common support issues and how to resolve them, again with the commitment to organize it in a logical manner once info gets added. I would ask admins who mostly deal with a certain type of issue to fill in the info about the issue and how to resolve it. This page could read like an FAQ page.
If there are no objections I'll create an update/announcement page, and this one will simply be maintained where new announcements get added to the top (like a blog).
I won't invoice any of these pages since most of the content will not be created by me, just organized.
