Perhaps they implemented some kind of quality control at last...

Hi
I've found devtome credit the words written for them and they do it accurately (rounding the words to the appropriate number of thousands). You'll have to make sure you've submitted any article correctly, creating the appropriate page for it, and listing its link on the devtome homepage and in your profile.
The only problem I find with article writing for devtome is that, although you do ultimately get sent the devcoins due to you, they come to you extremely slowly in amounts of 45,000 a time. Bearing in mind you need to receive millions of devcoins to get any significant 'value' (in terms of the amount of US dollars you can exchange them for), the problem is not so much doing the writing necessary to earn them, but rather the rate at which you will receive them. Your effective income is therefore limited by this rather than your ability to do volume article writing.
Anyway, all the best to you whether you persist with your article writing or not.

I know that I am kind of new here, but I ask you to take me seriously anyway. As soon as I joined I heard about devtome and thought it was a great thing so I requested an account and started writing. I wrote thousands and thousands of words in my account which took me many hours (my profile at devtome is http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=wiki:user:scriptsave, you can see what I have written there). About 2 days after I wrote my words I noticed that I was still not on the earnings spreadsheet which counts words written so I contacted weisoq, one of the admins at devtome. He told me not to worry and said I would be added to the round 25 earnings spreadsheet. Since block 97.3k (the cutoff for round 25) was still a while away, I did as he asked and did not worry. However, a few days later, I was not on the spreadsheet and I began to worry so I PMed weisoq again and he said not to worry again because they always do a "final check". Finally, block 97.3k came and went and I still was not added to the spreadsheet.
In conclusion, I wrote for many many hours and never got credit for my words. I have since contacted weisoq many more times and he continues to ignore me. The earnings spreadsheet that I was never included on can be found here: http://d.evco.in/charity/devtome_earnings_25.csv.
Here are the PMs exchanged between weisoq and myself in case anyone doesn't believe me:

Really appreciate some insight on this.
Thanks
