Thanks Michelle. It is one of the topics that we writers love to read, knowing that our efforts will not be useless.

Thanks, peachpurple. It is nice to know many people had received payments. Yes, it would encourage a lot of people to join and write here when they read blogs about being paid here. It is some sort of assurance of the honesty of the site owners.

I think they are paying thru Payoneer. Just see the FAQ’s where it is stated that you can register if you want Paypal or Payoneer. See your profile page.

Thanks Suny. It is nice to know you had been receiving your money from here for your efforts. That’s very encouraging and assuring us of the legitimacy of the site.

are there any new bad people out here again?

Gosh, when will the plagiarist ever learn their lesson!

Hopefully admin will get rid of them.

We want LB to be a clean site where everyone can enjoy writing wonderful articles

This also happens with a small business that expands too fast. I wonder what a sensible model would be? Maybe to linit the number of writers accepted and create slow growth?

Wikinut still exists, but it does not pay any more. To give the iwners their due they did explain and paid what they owed to that point.

MyLot is a discussion rather than a writing site. It does not make false claims and does pay. I think it a mistake to include it alongside writing sites.

Yes, Wikinut paid, but next to nothing. I was again shocked at one post with a lot of views earning just a few pennies. At least I do not think they were a scam.

Triond definitely stole from me. I cannot remember the details as it was long ago. Somehow in trying to get things removed the true number of views I had became visible. It was high even though they were not paying me.

As for “Nathan”on their site. A very wierd individual.

I had to threaten them with the law to get my posts removed.

I had no idea there was a problem with Niume? That is a shock. Can you explain more?

I’m sorry for the late replies because I still have the log in problems so for now I went outside for a cafe to check this site and I was Lucky.

@mahesh, thank you for that information you give me because it helps. I really dont know what country made/produce the first wine..I have to check this on the web.. lol you give me an idea.

@Anita, oh at least now you have some ideas on how to blend your wine with chocolates.. there are some reviews on the net that identifies the names of wines and the chocolates that can be best pair for it try to search it to add it on your list.

Thank you for writing on this.  I’m also of the view that if someone want to use a feature image then it has to relate to the topic. More over there are a lot of free images on web one has to just search for creative commons. I  also use pixabay and credit it. It’s important that we have to protect this platform and uphold its value.

It is very sad to see people plagiarizing other people’s work. People should realize that it is a criminal offence to plagiarize. More over we want to see new and original content . Let’s work hard to produce our own content. You did well to expose this person I’m next he won’t do such a thing.

There are many ‘public domain’ images.  Many are created and used all over the net.  Some are like Gettyimages which the name comes on the bottom for attribution.  I wouldn’t take what looks like a ‘private image’ … btw… did you see the porn pictures?  When I was looking through the already uploaded images I saw Porn.

kaylar – Yeah. Sometimes mine don’t work either. Most of my images come from the same site so why can I download one and not the others?  I figure it’s my laptop was acting weird.  From what I understand it’s OK to borrow images.  Even if they are not free or public domain, but you get permission and give proper credit, you can use them.  Isn…[Read more]
