Splintertalk Paying Out SPT 100% Liquid Now?

We recently had a question in our @Hive.Pizza Splinterlands Discord channel about SPT rewards on Splintertalk.io. The user wondered if there was a way to get SPT paid only in liquid form instead of 50/50 split between liquid and staked. Well, at the time, Splintertalk was paying out SPT author rewards split equally between liquid and staked, but I just noticed a post of mine that paid out today went 100% to my liquid balance.

Prior to this post paying out, I had a nearly zero balance for my liquid SPT and now it increased by the amount of my author payout.

My strategy with Splintertalk author rewards has been to sell the liquid SPT I receive and buy SPS with it (to prepare for the Chaos Legion pre-sale!) and let the staked SPT Power continue to build up and delegate some to @monster-curator each month too. But if Splintertalk is now paying out 100% of SPT rewards in liquid form now, I'll probably start sending half of it to my staked balance manually in order to keep growing my voting power.

The reason I want to keep growing my voting power is to increase my delegations to @monster-curator and also to increase my curation rewards by following their curation trail: https://hive.vote/dash.php?i=1&trail=monster-curator
