RE: LESSON LEARNED - UPDATED INFORMATION - EDITS DO NOT COUNT AS NEW POSTS

in #steemit8 years ago

This explains a lot. I was wondering why my payout was less then expected. Thanks for the heads up

Sort:  

Keep in mind that the amount you get paid is 75% of the total visible next to the thread. The other 25% goes to the curators. If your amount still shows what you ORIGINALLY expected, then yours may actually be correct.
In my case, the thread DID show around $1250 up until the precise moment of payout, with a payout expectation of about $940 (half of which would've been about $470 in Steem Dollars). The full total itself dropped to $143 or $190 (depending on which page you view it on), which is the total that's still visible next to my thread, and is also the total everyone got paid from.

Understood. One more thing... Do replies to posts or replies to replies count toward your post count? I assume they dont?

I'm going to assume not since they don't show up as an "authored" post in the activity in your http://steemd.com/@username profile. Edits show up as "@username authored a post", just as when you create a brand new one.

So I just happened to revisit this post and read your update above and then read through a few of the comments. So to clarify there is no penalty for editing a post. I can still make a total of 4 posts per day without any impact?

Just want to clarify since I was thinking I would need to adjust my posting behavior due to the editing guidelines.

As for your post itself - no damage done. Everyone makes mistakes and Im sure the community wont punish you for it... we are all human

Correct. Editing doesn't hurt you in any way. I put the cart before the horse on that one.
