Why I Am Finding It Difficult To Be A Good Vocal Member

Introduction

As you know, since the 23rd of November 2025, I have been unable to post on my main account, so I am having to publish on this account. My main account is here:

So What's My Problem?

Working with two Vocal accounts is a pain. Often, I will start a story, find I am on my Main Account, then find I am unable to save.

I do comment and follow Vocal friends using this account, but many assume that I am commenting from my Main Account and are not seeing my publications. here.

Add to that that I am only paid half per read, and Vocal will not consider me for anything and have given no support on this while admitting it is a recurrence of a previous issue.

It is looking like I shall have to let my main account lapse, but I do want the ability to Quickedit old stories, and would like to be able to enter challenges.

I also see others with very high publication counts whose only complaint is that they don't get enough recognition in challenges and Top Stories.

I am not commenting enough on others' stories, but a lot of my time is being taken up checking if the main account is fixed, and badgering Vocal to get them to do something, which, as yet, they haven't done.

Conclusion

I want to get back to where I was, but Vocal have trashed my readership and are treating me as the most despised Creator on the platform again.

Thank you for reading this. You are really supportive friends.

I think Motorhead's take on "Leavin' Here" is appropriate for the way I feel.
