Tuetego: The Fairness of Unfairness
What had happened? All of us was facing a blank wall. We didn't know what had had transpired. We had the usual feeling that something is being upgraded here in Tuetego. Something gets fixed like bugs or glitches. That is our general point of you.
Yesterday, I posted a sad reaction for my no earnings earned. I am hoping that it would be fine but it never moved any inch. One Tuetegers informed me that there is an explanation from Tuetego. I checked it and I was appalled upon knowing it on the point of low post or poor quality of articles, images, comments and the like posted by the users.
The Unfairness
The big question is why is it now pointed out earlier before punishing the whole Tuetegers, good or poor posters for that matter. That is so to speak unfair. I would say that is injustice. Could we recover from those numbers of posts, pictures, comments and or reactions we received from our fellow Tuetegers?
Tueteger answered that and I quote, "Dear Tuetego friends: "Low activity and low content quality lead to poor revenue.... We need to improve the content, remove duplicates, spam, and also we need to put an end to plagiarism like people just pasting articles from Wikipedia. We are committed to fix this..."
The Fairness
The launching or implementation of Tueteg'O'Meter. By this feature it keeps our performance on green which is important indicator that we earn rewards especially in inviting new users. It says that the meter will show 5 categories that we must keep in good scores, rated from A to E. This shows that the new posts posted, time spent on site, comments written and general interaction are monitored. In doing so, it determines if a user is active and adding value to the site and therefore entitled to get rewards for new users.
I reiterate all those earnings we have earned for the period covered could no longer be recovered or paid, are they? That is the question.
It annoys me when I post a full-length article, with an illustrating photo, and get almost immediate comments that say "nice artikle" (that is exactly how it is often spelt!) or "nice picture". The commenter has clearly not read the piece and - as you say - is not playing the game according to the unwritten rules.
A system that recognizes the value of the contributions made by members, as opposed to just ticking boxes, would certainly be a good idea.
One way round that might be for the rating mechanism to be upgraded so that a member can comment on an article as well as just giving it a grade. For example, I quite often run a plagiarism check on articles that look suspicious, and give those that are plagiarisms the lowest possible score. But that is as far it goes - there is no mechanism for stating that this is the reason for my decision.
Some of these will be in Spanish - I always give these the "neutral" rating, because I don't know the language at all.
You can go on rating all day if you wish to - it is supposed to be a way of earning revenue but I don't know what the pay rate is!
