The Problem with Smorty

I have constantly advertise Smorty for free in all my blogs. I constantly mentioned them. Sure, I made two sponsored posts about Smorty in some of my blogs but I also gave them some linky love because I truly believe that Smorty is a great company.
The following paragraph is my comment on Philaahzophy’s post about his recent problem with Smorty.
I have written for Smorty using one of my blogs and I didn’t have a problem with them until today. I received those 2 messages in my control pannel too, they didn’t bother me that much because I believe these messages don’t concern me. First, I dont write for PPP, second I dont place tags saying that my posts are sponsored, third–I never deleted any sponsored posts I did for them.
I know for sure, I didn’t break any of Smorty’s rule so I am very surprised to learn today that the remaining payments to me is being withheld. The reason they say is because “I deleted some posts” … what the hell!!!! ????
A wordpress blog would display the 10 most recent posts, so automatically the older posts would be displayed on the next page. I cannot understand why they said I deleted the posts I did for them! If they care to go on the next page then they will see that the posts are right there!
They still owe me 192$!!! I emailed them about this and I hope I will get the reply tomorrow.
So yeah, I am having a problem with Smorty too. I hope that it’s just becasue of some bugs and that Smorty will fix it immediately because if not, a bad publicity like the one Bloggerwave got will be upon them and it will spread like wildfire!

Well, I just recently signed up with Smorty and haven’t seen any available opportunities that would fit with my animal blogs. But after reading this, I don’t think I’ll deal with them either. Who needs this kind of hastle. There are other paid to post companies. Thanks for the heads-up

This just happened to me for the first time tonight. I logged in to see that supposedly I am missing three posts. I clicked on the links, and they did load just fine. They showed the link, etc. There is no reason for this. I am curious if you were ever paid and the problem resolved?
