Smorty Not Worth It!

I just found out that I was docked $6 worth of money owed to me for a “missing/forfeited” post. Ok. I sent them a message asking what was up. They said to just resubmit the post that was missing/forfeited and it would be fine. I informed them, with a copy and paste, that I did not have any information as to what the post in question was.

Their response?

As there was 8 months between your latest and your previous post it’s likely the warning was there for some time to resubmit that post that couldn’t be found.

The problem here? I’ve been logging in off and on for those 8 months. So I would have seen it if I had a warning. I didn’t have any warnings on their site. I didn’t have any emails saying “we can’t find this post.” I have NEVER deleted any post with the exception of one - a post I was declined for. Frankly, I am NOT obligated to keep a post on my site if they declined it. So I took it down. I never heard anything about having to put it back up. So now, 8 months later, you dock me for a post that’s missing and can’t even tell me which one it is?

I call BULLSHIT. You docked me and you can’t tell me what post I was docked for? That’s because it doesn’t exist. It wasn’t a legit docking and you know it. So I deleted my blogs and sent one last message. I won’t be blogging for Smorty anymore.

I have had it. I was punished with a declined post because Smorty’s system allowed me to take a post that I’d supposedly already taken on that blog. Maybe I had. I don’t know. But I shouldn’t have been punished for THEIR system screw up. Check here for that rant. Now they pull this. I’m done. I’m kissing Smorty good-bye!
