I haven’t seen any place here on LB if anyone has talked about the new rule that the owner of BB has put in place as of 10/9. It is stated below what he has said:

As you can see from the pic above now a new user must first submit a sample of their writing before they are accepted. Not only that but current members may be seeing their articles back in the draft folder again until they make corrections to it. This makes me really happy I didn’t waste my time on this site.

They are really trying too hard to be something they are not. They want writers but yet discriminate against writers who doesn’t speak or write English as a first language. Not everyone is perfect in English but many try. I wouldn’t disrespect someone because of this flaw.

I’m sure the site will start to go downhill from here.

@ EvilElf  The site is already going downhill ever since they had this new moderator but this new move surely spells its doom.

Actually the super editor will apply all the rules of Text Broker which she learned on LB through some of the members here. They will copy all the rules and will make the available for native English writers. I hope the owners are not replaced in the process too 🙂

@ suny  I have heard that super editor is away from the site since three weeks. She is not at all active nowadays on BB or any other site. May be this is something they have decided beforehand!

@Shaloo walia, I am thankful that I haven’t joined that site. That site is feeling great when not.It seems they prepare them selves for its closure, so they did it that way so people will just vacate the site without their money wasted as fees for the writers. That is cheating to those who already reached or almost to reach some points for redemption.That case will just become Thank you.May that site BLogbourne dies naturally.

I still did not see that announcement on blog Bourne about new rule – that is a person who ants to signup has to take some sort of writing test.
maybe it is something new, I shall visit Blog Bourne forum to see it, and maybe reactions of others.
If anyone write any reactions yet in Blog Bourne forum about this?
I see form screen shot that now there is new quality rule for members, that means that new writers shall be better quality ones and not who ever wants t join, yes?
When I first see this topic in here, I went to see my post I submitted yesterday for review in Blogbourne, but it has been published by staff.
I still did not read it thoroughly but I shall not speculate if it is edited, I am sure it is an my grammar mistakes are covered and fixed.
I start to use Grammarly for my posts. I comment regular, but I try to post from Grammarly. It automatically fix some things and it is good help.
I think BlogBourne not only website to do this. I see same in Info barrel. They require testing first. Daily Two Cents do same. I shall not guess, many other web sites do it.
I am sorry if you disappointed with website.
Better time will come for you I have no doubt.

🙂

That is what I see..  the site is going down the toilet … it was a flop from start.  It can’t pay, (which is why, of course there was so much confusion as to ‘rates’.

I am so glad I ran

@EvilElf  New and new changes. I don’t know why they are not stable with their own rules. I have never seen any site which change their own rules this frequently. I am not sure how this going to be, but I don’t think users are enjoying this much change. I have seen lots of negative comments about them on different site just because of this things. They are making things difficult for users and for their self too. Let’s see how it goes.

@naruto100 At least one member is enjoying it even if she(?) is not sure whether she (?) will be paid or not.

@Your Seldom The announcement was in the forums section. I see now they have a new rule that says all members must have at least one article/post on the site if not then their account will be deleted. This is kinda harsh.

@shaloo walia Did you see the new rule from today that is in the forums:

 Blogbourne wants to protect the writers who have truly made contribution on the site. With this reason, we are giving 15 days to all accounts without any article/post to submit and maintain at least one. All accounts that will not comply within 15 days as of this update will have their coin balances Reset to zero and will be excluded on the coin system until they comply.

Thank you!

Blogbourne Administration

@naruto100 Look what I posted above. Still new rules are still coming out on a daily basis.

@kaylar I can’t agree with you more. They should have known that it will take time to build up revenue from ads. This is common sense. 

@cely It’s a good thing you didn’t waste your time there.

@suny I heard the super editor has no internet at the moment. I’m not sure how true that is or what. How many articles do you have left on that site?
