  • Dear Author, you have just submitted your first 5 orders. Before you are able to continue writing, our editorial team will first evaluate your articles and provide some feedback. This may take up to 7 days. Once the articles are rated, the block is removed and you can proceed as normal. We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
Just wanted everyone to be aware of this if you plan on signing up and using TB. I will let you know what my results are.
 
Yes, with TB it is listed on their FAQ page that once you reach 5 articles they rate you once again. So, based on your last 5 articles submitted your rating can either go up, come down, or stay the same.

GL mate!
 
Lol... I was just teasing a typo... Here *hands http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/members/65966-nicknicholas.html a new pair of panties since his are in his @ss*


Yes I know you were just teasing a typo, and that is still a kind of dick move. Just because you make snide comments that are funny doesn't excuse the offensive behavior. I didn't really care about what you said, as you can see since I didn't direct my quote towards you. I know you were just poking humor at the irony of such an absentminded typo from someone that just claimed they got 4 stars.
The reason I responded with so much "rage" is because I am quite frankly bored and I find this kind of interesting. He just kind of gave me a good reason. I mean, someone with the mental capacity to put LOL! at the end of every sentence shouldn't really be criticizing you for no good reason, especially if hes criticizing you because he can't comprehend your point. Also, pointless insults and name-calling is just childish way of saying you lose or you are trolling. Please, if your going to call me a name at least make a comment like Leila that actually has something to back it up like I have too much time on my hands. I do have many other things I would like to address about what Leila said, but I don't have THAT much time on my hands...(Not now at least)

I cannot believe that I am actually going to respond to you, it probably has something to do with the lack of sleep but let me explain something to you. A good writer knows how to accept his/her own mistakes and laugh them off. After all even writers are human, yet you turn around and attack. I recommend you either grow up or stay away from people in general if you cannot take a little criticism.

I do a lot writing and you don't know how good or bad I am at it, neither do you know anything about anyone else here so I would refrain from attacking other people. Of course, I only claim to be a reasonable writer but I definitely don't get my panties in a knot when someone points out an obvious mistake I have made. Maybe if you had laughed along with everyone else you would have proven a lot more than by going on the offensive.

I need my head seen to for bothering to answer.
 
Well, I just finished getting $65 worth of work reviewed, accepted by the buyer and then rated. I still managed to stay at all level 3 pay-grade. Ugh! How frustrating.

At least you are still a 3 star.... I got fucking hammered on my first 5 articles, I am not nor will I ever CLAIM to be a good writer but SHIT.

On every article they said that my comma usage was terrible, that was it. Because of that they rated one of them a 1 star... Funny though that it was a 655 Word article and the customer purchased it so whatever. $19.46 so far in earnings I have not sent in the IRS form yet, just going to let it build up a bit first :D

Also, reading through old college book on proper use of commas... LOL
 
Yeah, they are real sticklers about the commas. When they bother to give me a statement, that's usually what's in it. That, and I now know when to use "that" as opposed to "which."

The old college book or some English grammar site will probably help. Read some books (on any subject), too, and pay close attention to how the "real professionals" actually do it. I have to admit I do see the problem...

That goes like this:

"At least you are still a 3-star - I got fucking hammered on my first 5 articles. I am not - nor will I ever CLAIM to be - a good writer, but SHIT."

[/grammar nazi]

I suppose someone will now dissect my version and point out what's keeping me from getting my 5 :p
 
Do they pull the shit with stopping work every five articles or just the first five?
 
I write for TB as well , they ar egood in terms of you being able to choose the pieces you want to write. It does get frustrating when the customers think you are an exccellent writer then when assessed by TB your ranking remains in my case at 3. Personally I've always wanted to find a site like TB but have not yet been lucky.

The only critism I have of TB is not being able to choose more than one article at a time unless you are lucky enough to get direct orders. So you literally have to write like hell or submit before the deadline to be able to get your balance to a decent level.

CC in my opinion are too fussy in terms of their requirements. I know that the last thing you want to do is submit mediocre work, but their requirements are at the best of times too much.
 
My apologies for errors clicked submit before editing.
* are good
*excellent
*criticism

I'm quite sleepy as well, had a loooong day, that spelling is intentional :)
