What I am saying -- and I think Spangs is too -- is that 'articles' like these should have a different payment criteria. This is not a 1000 word article. This is not a 500 word article. This is a spreadsheet. Yes, it took time to compile [less if you use Excel / Open Office / Libre Office / Google Docs, but I digress], but it is not an article. It's a series of data points.

Shout out threads shouldn't be paid the same as a media [b]article. Rankings shouldn't either. I'm not saying that it's worthless, but it's not an article.

Should Bana get paid? Absolutely. This is a great thing to look at and a fun look back at drafts. But due to the minimal amount of creative content here, it should not be considered an article, and should fall under a separate grading and payment criteria.[/b]

I understand what you are saying and agree with you on the majority. My only point would be why not come out and say "Should be graded differently" in your first post? Thats why everyone took it in a different context, because you and Spangs wrote it as such.
