Key Points:
1) Change of Terms of Service
- Dropped payout to $10.
- $20 sign-up bonus can only use for advertising
2) Until redemption button is ready, members must email webmaster@mec-co-op-paidmail.com to make their redemptions.
quote:
It is my goal to reduce payouts to $10 but impossible to do with so
many of you having not redeemed your $20 signup bonus for signing up
before March 30, 2002.
So here's what i came up with and have changed the terms of service to
reflect this.
I'm doing this so more members can reach payouts faster.
Those of you who signed up before the $20 signup bonus was
discontinued, MUST use that bonus to run an ad.
Your bonus may NOT be used for a cash redemption.
You must use the bonus to run an ad at 1cents a click with 2000
guaranteed clicks to any site you wish to promote except porn sites.
Members may earn by referring new members to the Mec-Co-Op-Paidmail.Com
program.
Members will earn 10% of their direct referrals earnings,
5% of their indirect referral level earnings,
4% of their 3rd level referral earnings,
3% of their 4th level referral earnings,
2% of their 5th level referral earnings and
1% of their 6th level referral earnings.
Members will be paid via PayPal/egold or check.
Check fee is $3 regardless of amount over $10 redeeming.
Mec-Co-Op-Paidmail.Com will pay members when
their earned/referral earnings balance reaches $10 and they request
payment.
Payments will be made within 30 days or a
reasonable time after.
Until we have redemption buttons, you will need to e-mail me at
webmaster@mec-co-op-paidmail.com to request your redemption.
make sure you provide your username and the amount you are redeeming
and the method of redemption (pay-pal/e-gold/check)

Reckon MEC should get rid of their TOS altogether.
Not worth the paper they're written on, I've lost count as to how many times they have changed!!

I must admit I wasn't happy receiving this e-mail either since I am one of the ones who was more than willing to wait until I reached the $50 payout and at this time really don't have anything worth advertising. That being said I can understand Carol's position. I am sure since the possibility of a $10 payout has been raised all those who have already managed to cashout or used their bonus' for ads have been very vocal about wanting the payout lowered. It would not make much sense, and might not even be possible or accurate, trying to keep two lists of members, one with $10 payout - one with $50 payout. I also remind myself (not that it usually makes me feel better) when stuff like this happens that it was in fact a free gift, didn't cost me anything, and in this case a free ad, although not as good for me as money, is still a free bonus. Now I just have to come up with something to advertise.

As far as TOS changes go, there are quite a few sites here that do it over and over. at least mec doesn't threaten to charge you $5 every time you gripe about them, or delete your account, as many of the webmasters here do.
