Confused by the new smarter pools rules?

2 min read · 07 Dec 2020 · 71 · 15

You are not alone!

Ever since the announcement of a new opt out system for Yoors pools, there seems to be some confusion among Yoorsies as to how the new rules work. For some, it's the fact that they don't understand how to opt out of the automatic selection of pools and the corresponding payments. For others, like me, it's the fact that they have not yet been shown any pop ups as the one displayed on Babita's post.

To get the conversation going - and hopefully be helpful to fellow Yoorsies - here is my experience with the new system so far, using the Advanced Editor:

I type in the hashtags for my post, however many I like;
The editor automatically selects one of the hashtags to insert in the "Pool" box on the "Publish" page;
I can then click on that box if I want to change the pool or set the number of days to zero;
If I choose a different pool than the one that was pre-selected, the editor simply accepts my choice, without any pop ups showing;
The same usually happens if I simply delete the information on that box, though occasionally the editor will fill in the information again;
If I set the number of days of participation to zero, the editor assumes I don't want to enter the pool, without any pop up being shown.

So, at least in my experience, setting the number of days of participation in a pool to zero is a safe way of telling the Yoors system that you don't want to enter the pool and no Yoors points will be charged when posting.

Also in my experience, even if you save a post as a draft this still seems to count as publishing it. So even in that case you'll still want to change the information relating to the pool on the "Publish" page if you don't want any Yoors points to be charged to you.

I usually ignore the pop-ups and choose the pool at publication.
If I want to save a draft I turn the participation days to zero.
Then, when I want to publish, I enter the pool.
So no problems on this side of the screen 🙂

@Encaustichris That's good to hear! I am curious as to why I have not been shown any pop ups yet... 🤔

On my side it chooses a hashtag randomly and then gives me a pop up to undo, unfortunately the pop up doesn't last long. I had that this morning with the yoors december and traffic one, it automatically chose traffic. I have had to delete a post as it was in...

I had that this morning with the yoors december and traffic one, it automatically chose traffic. I have had to delete a post as it was in the wrong 'pool' so that I could then have it in the pool that I actually wanted.
I should also had that I often use my phone, so it may also be the reason why I don't always pick up on it until it has been published.

@Mónica I know this quickly vanishing pop up thing is a problem for others too. In my case, I have never even been shown a pop up.

Het enige dat mij niet bevalt is dat je automatisch al betaalt wanneer je je post opslaat. Om hem later te publiceren moet je dan nog een keer betalen.

Adriana

@casapapusilor As I understand it, you can disable that. When you are on the "Publish" page before you save your draft, click on the "pool" box to activate the menu.

When you are on the "Publish" page before you save your draft, click on the "pool" box to activate the menu. There, where it talks about the number of days of participation simply slide the bar to zero (or type in that number) and it will not charge you anything. You can also delete the name of the pool, I think, but sliding the number of days to zero will surely work (that is what I do). Take a look at @Encaustichris's reply to Teresa Seia under this post, there is an image there to show how it's done.

Ik kies gewoon zelf de pool. Met veel of weinig opbrengst. Dat maakt mij niet uit.

Adriana

@ElisabethsKitchen 👩‍🍳 That's the best attitude 🙂 I think for some people the problem is that they don't want to participate in any pool but haven't figured out how to opt out of it.

@Adriana, I just posted a question of mine, but I didn't want to take part in a pool, at least ... not on purpose ;)

Adriana

@Nathaniël For a future post, on the "Publish" page click on the "Pool" box and delete the name of the pool or set the number of days to zero. This should help 🙂

Speaking for myself, another very clear and helpful post! I overlooked the possibility of chosing 0 days to step out of a pool. I'll try it next time.

I overlooked the possibility of chosing 0 days to step out of a pool. I'll try it next time. So far, with this new modality I lost some points, because the pop up didn't stay for long and "forced"me (a way of explaining my difficulties, of course) to enter in a pool and stay there. Your explanation will also help me having a draft waiting without it immediately start counting the day of participation in the pool. I hope I was clear about my experience...and remaining difficulties up to now.

@Teresa Seia before publishing you can click on the jar, then you'll find the pop-up like on the photo. You can slide to left, to stop your entrance in the pool.
