Excellent response. I didn't bother responding to Scott here, but I did in his response to Mehmet's post. Here's what I said:

"Your answer and your blog have nothing to do with the price of tea in China. What you raise is important, but like a good politician, doesn't address the question posed to you. Here's the ticket I opened about 24 hours ago with no response (which I hope is because you are all acutely aware of the magnitude of the calculation system being broken and that the engineers are working overtime to plug the hole that allowed the attack and to repair the damage:
"My stats and earnings for January 7th and January 8th are out of whack across several stories. For my story [link], for those two days I have 21 member views, 14 member reads, 13 member clappers, 13 member highlighters, 14 member responders, and calculated earnings of $0.00.

In [link], for those 2 days I have 5 member views, 2 member reads, and those readers engaged, but $0.00 earned.

In [link], for those 2 days, 3 member views, 3 member reads, member engagement, and again $0.00 earned.

In https:[link], for those 2 days, 3 member views, 2 member reads, and again $0.00 earned.

My stats and earnings for [link] are off for the entire month of January. It shows 10 member views but 0 member reads, which makes no sense as it shows 1 member clapper, 5 member highlighters, and 5 member responders. Thus, the 0 member reads and the $0.00 earned make no sense."

January 9th saw 2 cents earned for 10 reads with other engagement. I don't know whether to hold off on publishing until it's fixed or to trust that reasonable retro comp will be paid, which it wasn't when y'all compensated for the fraud back whenever that was. You gave me $5 when I demonstrated you should have given me $70, saying the comp was not appealable"
