proposing bumping graphics pay up may be my biggest mistake

Everyone focused on bringing down graphics. Just bump written media up to the graphics level so we can funnel ISFL money to the other leagues.

for some probably revisionist history - graphics got paid not very well relative to media and so i suggested we up the payout for the grading scale to better reflect the effort required. after all, media can make a user so much money for relatively little effort - so graphics should get a larger payout based on the fact that a good graphic takes a long time to make. figured a 5/5 (i think the scale was out of 5 back then?) was worth a 3k media article since those take many hours to make and perfect, while a 3k media can be pumped out in maybe an hour or two if you're dedicated? 3/7 is currently scaled to about 1200-1300 words, which someone could definitely pump out in under an hour. given crunk's thought that 45 minutes should be worth a 3/7 graphic, perhaps it's accurately scaled?

i did not reach out to the graphics department about this and just proposed it - and it passed against their wishes. i kind of figured that most users wouldn't have the time to exploit the system and make a ton of 3/7's every week, but here we are. should have just discussed it with the graphics department at the time.

GFX submissions really should be capped/week.

Allowing a user to submit 74 Graphics is a little ridiculous.
