Vinefire Outage And Now Lowered Earnings

Up-start and curiously queer traffic exchange VineFire was out of service yesterday (Sunday).

Returning to service early this morning (Monday) VineFire members logging in found disappointing news - the earnings schedule has been significantly reduced.

This move is not without precedences as VineFire has twice reduced earnings in the past, though the most recent reduction was later amended to be less severe.

Basic surfing activity earnings have been cut in half.
Clicking links has been cut to $0.23 per link clinked.
Voting on links has reduced to $0.08 per vote.

Members posting links are now receiving just $0.02 for any up-votes their links might receive.

Whatever other changes VineFire made behind the scenes while off-line yesterday are no apparent at this time. VineFire made not attempt to forewarn members of the down-time with either site-based postings or by email. At this time management has not released any notices or other information about the changes made on Sunday.

It is also apparent that VineFire did nothing to address the problems with several member BOTs clogging the link feed and preventing honest members' links from being seen. Nor has VineFire done anything to rid the site from the plague of pornography related websites being posted, most of them again with the use of BOTs.

Lastly, with VineFire not being forthcoming about this service outage and the changes made, members must prepare themselves for the fact that the reduction in earnings will be followed by a further delay by VineFire in making their promised payouts.
