    I just received an email saying the comment I wrote has been accepted. I only wrote one just to see wether or not they liked my style of writing. When it is back up and running for good Ill certainly be writing some more.

    all of my comments come back saying not accepted as they are not 150 words, and not original content, but the trouble there is, each one was almost 300 words and all of my own thoughts on the subjects!

    Yep I think you are right, just checked my email and they have rejected all the other comments I did, so out of 10 just 1 accepted (which was accepted a few weeks ago). I wouldn't have said one of mine was far better than the rest, perhaps it just got accepted before they started to feel the pinch!

    This really makes me lose interest in them. What a shambles, sorry you won't get paid

  • Hi Everyone.

    Thank you for all the input we have been getting today. We have now identified two specific issues and are working to fix them asap.

    The first issue is that in many cases, your stats may differ from the actual approval/disapproval rates.

    Don't worry too much with this fault. The stats are just for your information only and did not represent how many is actually approved in our system.

    The second issue is our system disapproving more then its fair share of comments.

    We have noticed many more comments should be approved and we are focusing on correcting this asap. Just to be clear: we will be paying everyone who has had their comments incorrectly rejected.

    There will be an update on the second issue later today.

  • Hi there,

    To everybody that has an issue with the payments / rejected comments can you please email W:S at [EMAIL="writersshare@googlemail.co.uk"]writersshare@googlemail.co.uk[/EMAIL]. We will give you a ticket ID so we can log the dispute internally and give you a link to a google docs spreadsheet. On this spreadsheet please fill in your ticket id, how much you have been paid and what the dispute is regarding.

    This should speed up the process of sending you your money.

    I can confirm that Chollita will be paid as we have already investigated and found her comments were incorrectly rejected.

    Before everyone else comes knocking on our door, we have just posted an update shortly to explain how to let us know how many you believe to have been rejected incorrectly.

    Thank to everyone for your patience.
  • Writers:Share representative, thankyou for coming on here to inform us all about the current status of the project. Although long awaited, I am grateful of the time you are putting in now to rectify any issues members of the MSE forum may have.

    Would you be able to tell us when you intend to make the payment for the comments that have recently been accepted, ie. today and yesterday.

    When will the system be in a condition so that new comments can be posted?

    Thanks.

    Hi there WS. First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to post on the forum.

    I have a couple of specific questions if you dont mind.

    Borrowed from Above.
    6. Will writers be able to create password-protected accounts for themselves on the website?
    Thank you. I will take that suggestion into consideration for the next update.

    A previous update from writersshare indicated that this had already been built and was undergoing testing. Geordie Joe, can you recall this update also ?

    Don't worry too much with this fault. The stats are just for your information only and did not represent how many is actually approved in our system.

    Is it possible that you are able to provide us with our accurate stats ?
    I understand your saying not to worry about it, but most of the people on here really do worry about that extra £1.

    This is nothing personal towards yourself but most people are here as they are in the "crunch" so to speak. You can see this by some people quote at the bottom.

    writershares@@@@@@@@@@@.co.uk

    You might want to remove that in case you get spammed. I am also a little concerned as we have been told to email enquiries before but they have generally gone un-answered.

    Also as a side issue, Geordie Joe and myself have submitted blogs to digivate for consideration but have not had any emails from them at all. Sorry to go off topic here, there is another thread dedicated to this.

    Finally, can you also tell us was the log in name WSTech also yours.

    Thank you very much in advance.
