Re: Latest rejection

Jaks, the article was in Arial 12pt as always, single-spaced with double-spacing for new paragraphs. This is the first time, in over 150 submissions, I have had an article rejected for incorrect format. It has me very puzzled. I did have the sub-headers sat directly above the following paragraph, wh...

Latest rejection

Hi, I had an article rejected on 30th September because it did not follow formatting guidelines. I find this odd as I can't find any errors in either my article or submission descriptions. At least none the rejection stated was the issue. I'm more than happy to fix any issues but when I can't find a...

Re: Insulting Offers

Yeah it's George. He has been around a while making his derogatory offers. He goes, then returns. It's a cheapskate perpetual cycle. He is very persistant this time, I have had to refuse more than the usual quota of miserly offers. He has been the topic of discussion numerous times. Sadly, some auth...

Re: Weird email supposedly from CC...

I got an email from Eric too. Asked if I was interested in writing (though not to bid on anything). I replied with my interest, then emailed again when I never heard back and Eric stated he was waiting on clients. That was about a week ago so maybe I was not one of the fortunate ones. I am still wai...

One of the other CC articles stolen by the blog owner is 'Creating User Friendly Website Navigation' by Nessiee.

Re: Article theft

Yes the blog appears down but the articles are still in Google's cache. Any idea how to get this removed. Only a customer is hesitant to use an article he bought until he can be assured it is not anywhere else. The cache of the blog is here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Sffm_...

Article theft

A cusomer just informed me that an piece they just bought for full rights was already used on a blog. I investigated and found 4 other articles of mine being used without permission. I have sent the owner a stern email advising them to remove articles or face DMCA complaint. There are other posts on...

First Person

Hi. I have had a private request but the customer wants the piece written in the first person. Is this accepted by CC for a private request specified by a customer?

Thanks.

Re: SEO Software that Works Around Copying Long Summary

I wonder if the owners would take such a blinkered view if their own product was being offered for free without their consent? I doubt it. Pity for them that it is! Maybe I should send them an email offering a trade...I will inform them how hundreds of people are getting a perfect working copy of th...

Re: Writing CC Articles

I am in the UK and have learnt to acclimatize to the language peculiarities (I think). So much so that I am now finding myself using 'z' instead of 's' when writing everyday stuff here in the UK! Yes, there are subtle differences in style, but I think overall, apart from spelling and grammar, there ...

Re: Multiple Article Submissions

For a public request you will have to submit each article seperately. Each article will require its own summary and set of keywords. Some public requests do state that they are looking for more than one article but if you decide to write a multiple pieces for that one request they cannot be grouped....

Rejected Offers

Would it be possible for rejected offers to be purged from the author's offers list? Or at the very least have waiting offers sit at the top and not the bottom of the list. I have a lot of rejected offers, some from months back and it looks messy! Not really that important and if it's only myself th...

Tracking articles

I have seen many posts about stolen content here on CC. I am wondering how this content was located? I would love to know how I could check to see if any of my articles have been unjustly borrowed (apart from when someone else tells me!). Also, does anyone know of a way to keep track of an article t...
