IM Report Card no longer paying their members
I’m sorry for having to share these news for those whom they owed money: user review-based website IM Report Card no longer pays for their members reviews, votes or site suggestions.
As one of their members put it in their forum: “this e-mail was the final nail in the coffin.” The e-mail was sent out earlier today and the first reactions from the IM Report Card community are starting to show, starting with disbelief. Being the last in a serious of events continually weakening their relationship with the user base, this “final nail” is likely to cause a number of IMRC members to close their accounts and/or stop participating, e.g. adding new reviews.
IM Report Card’s new and revised system still allows members to earn credits for posting reviews, suggesting new IM websites and vote on other members reviews, with main difference being that they are no longer eligible to cash out their credits as money. Instead, they are required to exchange the credits into digital IM products.
I had a feeling “something was up” when I had suggested a couple of websites in accordance with the F.A.Q., and they were still “Pending” a week and a half later. I have lost my earnings with IM Report Card, although I do not regret the reviews I posted on their website, based on personal experience with the products. If my reviews are of any help to those looking for honest reviews on a particular product or service, it was time well spent.
I repeat: as of February 22, 2010, you are no longer eligible to earn real money with IM Report Card, only credits that can be exchanged into digital Internet Marketing products. Even though some members suggest they (IM Report Card) will put a credit price tag on freebie products and sell it as something with monetary value, those are pure speculations, and it would be wise to take such rumors with a grain of salt.
IM Report Card has another issue, though: communication; they sent out an e-mail update on their recent Trial Pay Now offer, but forgot to mention that they had removed the referral earnings. This was silently added to their website F.A.Q., and members who found it shared the update in the support forum. A couple of days later came the message about IM Report Card no longer paying their members.
According to IMRC, it was numerous frauds that ultimately led to this, although their members question why other social communities such as MyLot, that has been online for five years, still running and paying their members despite having to combat fraud attempts all the time, are doing just fine.
Either way, I wrote this as a head’s up for those who haven’t read their e-mail or in other ways are not aware of the recent changes in their system. IM Report Card is a decent user review site, but without the incentives it will be interesting to see how many new user reviews are added in the coming days and weeks.

It’s shame that they decided to take this approach as many will lose the initiative to contribute to their site. In all honesty the user base is what makes IMreportcard work. And with the users submitting comment IMreportcard in turn makes a profit through affiliates.
All sites that offer users money for completing tasks become subject to fraudsters but you must put systems in place to combat them with jeapordising your buisiness.
If they are not going to provide
cash then I for one have no intention of continuing to use their website.
