semnate 01-12-2020 09:49 AM

like it, heheeh, persistence is key, or maybe i got too much time on my hands

semnate 01-15-2020 09:50 AM

wonder if they will pay both cheques, when i cross the payment threshold this year

BigFurry 01-15-2020 10:16 AM

Honestly they have more to lose.

If I was an owner I would pay that missing payout out of my pocket to avoid all this bad rep.

Not for a company of that size. Most of affiliate revenue comes from big partners such as mindgeek. One small-time webmaster complaining here, will not affect their existing affiliates. They also dont accept new affiliates of semnate's size anymore.

Unlikely, even if the cheques have an expiration date.
To combine the missing amount into your next payout, they would have to trace down, and cancel the old cheque. That in itself is time-consuming, but that's the easy part.
Because in the accounting, your amount shows up as paid, they would have to recalculate and restate their earnings. Even a small amount off, is not fun to deal with. Therefore, it is not worth their trouble to chase the amount down for you.

semnate 01-16-2020 09:34 AM

Sounds like MovieGuy is 'defending' an affiliate company that doesnt pay.

You have a funny way of thinking about business. Hopefully it doesn't reflect how they think.

It doesn't matter if it's "worth their trouble". They owe that money and they need to figure it out. Noone cares what steps they need to take. That's what employees are paid for, to do the work, even if sometimes it's not "fun".

There are companies MUCH bigger and they pay like clockwork, and if there's a payment missing they quickly resolve it.

A company can decide to shut down their affiliate program completely if they can't manage it. But they cannot choose to not pay what they owe.

2019-11-01 Pending Not Yet Paid Not Paid $113.70 Paxum Details
2020-01-16 Pending Not Yet Paid Not Paid $102.10 Paxum Details

semnate 01-24-2020 10:26 AM

so im not the only one the are not paying, geesh

greenguy 01-26-2020 04:37 AM

Looks like I'm not alone.....

1st off, I really hate that I'm "Taking It To The Boards" but I don't know what else to do.

Around mid October I noticed I was missing a payment from MadCheddar.com that shows being sent to me via check on 2019-07-08. I have no record of ever receiving this check and my account is set to Paxum for payouts (nothing over there, either). So I started to try and contact them...

2019-10-18 - I emailed all the info to Darren, who had helped me with a previous problem. No reply.

2019-10-23 - Sent a message to Support via NATS. Status "unread"

2019-10-29 - Emailed Darren again. No reply.

2019-11-01 - A 2nd payment shows up in NATS:
Status: Pending
Payment Sent: Not Yet Paid
Method: Paxum

2019-11-04 - Sent a 2nd message to Support via NATS. Status "unread"

2019-11-04 - Contacted James via Skype & sent him all the info. He told me he'd hit up accounting

2019-11-12 - Checked in with James on Skype. He hadn't heard anything back.

2019-11-18 - Checked in with James on Skype. No reply.

2019-11-25 - Checked in with James on Skype. No reply.

2019-12-03 - Checked in with James on Skype. He said accounting is aware, but hasn't heard back from them.

2019-12-17 - James status on Skype says "Away from the 16th to the 28th" Sent a 3rd message to Support via NATS. Status "unread"

2020-01-10 - Asked another webmaster to get involved.

2020-01-15 - Sent all this to James one last time before I posted. He said he still hasn't heard anything, but followed up with accounting today & made this an urgent request.

2020-01-23 - Checked in with James on Skype. No reply.

All I want is the money I'm owed and I don't know what else to do, so while I hate doing this, here I am...

Thanks for reading,
Mark - Greenguy

semnate 01-26-2020 09:53 AM

So Im definitely not the only one that they owe money.

Sad to say, but I hope more people like Greenguy who have payment issues with MadCheddar will speak out in this thread, and hopefully we all get paid.

No response .. I hope you get your money back

have many times have you said this? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

you are owed small amount, your time must be cheap if you keep wasting it with these ignorants.

3rdshiftvideo 02-06-2020 12:40 AM

Pretty sure MadChedder is having money problems. I heard Lansky was stealing investor money to fund his extravagant lifestyle. Dont belvie the hype, he wasn't bought out he was forced out. These guys are spending 20k on shoots and blowing money out the ying yang. If they had the money to pay their affiliates they would. Thats also why they are suing everyone six ways from Sunday for pirating their content.

That's preposterous. You are thinking of Malibu Media.

VMG has 6 big sites in operation for years. At their scale and size, the cashflow would have bankers kissing their asses even if they needed to borrow money to buy Greg out in a lump sum (and there are other ways of buyout at such large scales, that Nathan/Fabian formerly discussed on GFY)

As noted earlier in this thread, nearly every affiliate program has raised payout minimums. It costs more to deal with little affiliates and little payouts.
