What Does It Feel Like To Remove Articles From Bubblews?

Also known as, "What Does It Feel Like To Remove Articles From The-Site-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named?"

Are you moving, removing, or deleting articles from the-site-that-shall-not-be-named? What does it feel like to do that? What goes through your mind as you go through this process? Does your mouse hover over the delete button for a long moment, hesitating, before you can bring yourself to click it?

So, what's the-site-that-shall-not-be-named, you ask? You're really gonna make me say it, huh? Okay, fine. It's Bubblews. There, said it.

Right then, back to the main topic of this post. Slowly removing my posts from Bubblews too as are many others. Seeing my old articles from that site brings back memories. The same can be said with seeing all the likes and comments (mostly the comments, of course). Kinda miss the old interaction there, huh?

And seeing the comments and likes on some articles makes me kind of reluctant to delete them, so I just hover my mouse on that delete link before finally clicking on it (after backing up everything, of course). So, what about you? What do you feel about this? What do you think?

Here are some of the comments from this article, back when it used to be posted elsewhere:

I can't delete any of my blogs from there because they only show the ones from December and I haven't been paid yet for those. It doesn't let you view any of your older posts at all which is terrible and I don't know how to get my older ones off of there. The website is making me angry.

ChickJ replied to FancyFree74 on January 11, 2015, 2:23 PM
If you are hoping to get paid, good luck. I am deleting them anyways. I don't have any faith they will keep their word.

Jezebella replied to FancyFree74 on January 11, 2015, 9:28 PM
Delete from your top 100 instead. I've taken off 1500 posts but left up enough to still get paid.

FreyaYuki replied to FancyFree74 on January 12, 2015, 4:11 PM
If you don't have the URLs of your posts there, try this: on Google search, type "site:bubblews.com" (without the quotation marks) then your Bubblews username. All your articles that have been indexed by Google should show up and you can access it from there. If you're logged on to Bubblews, you can see the "delete" button right from the article itself. Hope this helped. And good luck with getting paid there 😃.

FancyFree74 replied to FreyaYuki on January 11, 2015, 2:26 PM
I decided to make one post per day about not so interesting topics until I get paid then I will quit for good. I'm not happy with the dishonesty over there. I'm surprised there hasn't been a discrimination lawsuit against them.

FreyaYuki replied to FancyFree74 on January 12, 2015, 4:14 PM
That's also what I've been doing while slowly deleting older posts. Currently have about 44 in the bank and hoping to be able to redeem soon though that seems impossible at the moment :-(. Wish they'd just lower the payment threshold, but it looks like they're not even answering any questions there though they're regularly posting.

ChickJ wrote on January 11, 2015, 2:24 PM
I am deleting a few each day. I figure I will be done by March. (Might be sooner if they close up shop.)

FreyaYuki replied to ChickJ on January 12, 2015, 4:25 PM
This is what I've been doing too. Slowly removing posts from there and moving them elsewhere though am also still writing a bit there since I currently have about 44 in the bank. Earnings are really slow there right now though that it seems impossible for anyone to redeem anytime soon.

melody23 wrote on January 11, 2015, 2:27 PM
I was looking at my stuff there a few hours ago and nothing I can access is worth saving really so I doubt I will be moving anything over here. If I could access my older stuff it might be a different story, I might try to figure out a way to do this at some point but I haven't as yet. Since I am not moving anything there is no point in deleting it either so I might as well wait and see what is going to happen there. I have just over $20 in my account there and its been that way for weeks so I doubt I will make another payment but I might as well wait and see. I am not posting there really now though, I put one post up today and one yesterday but before that it was weeks since my last post.

FreyaYuki replied to melody23 on January 12, 2015, 4:34 PM
To try to access your older posts from that site, try this: go to Google search engine then type your Bubblews username then type "site:bubblews.com" (without the quotation marks). All your articles that Google indexed should show up and you can then delete them when you're signed on to Bubblews.

Have about 44 there so trying to post at least once a day to at least be able to redeem, but earnings there are really slow right now as many have already said, and it seems like it won't be possible for anyone to be able to redeem anytime soon. Wish they can at least lower the payment threshold.

peachpurple wrote on January 12, 2015, 9:25 AM
i have deleted my recipes and health articles there, leaving the nonsense articles for them to read.

FreyaYuki replied to peachpurple on January 12, 2015, 4:37 PM
I started with removing my Harry Potter articles there first and then some of my fiction and short stories and then just go from there. Still have a lot of posts there though since am deleting things a few at a time.

seren3 wrote on January 12, 2015, 8:53 PM
I have a few hundred to go to get tham all deleted. Yes, it does represent a lot of work!

FreyaYuki replied to seren3 on January 13, 2015, 3:06 AM
Also have about a hundred more or so since am deleting them a few at a time. It brings back memories looking at all those old articles and even the comments and interaction. It was so different back then.

BarbRad wrote on January 12, 2015, 11:34 PM
I wrote down the URLs for my post at the bottom of the copy I made when I wrote each one. I don't even look at my posts when I delete them except to make sure I still l have the original for any I want to use again. I see that much of what I wrote is no longer relevant to anyone but me, so there is no use in using it again.

FreyaYuki replied to BarbRad on January 13, 2015, 3:13 AM
I also have all the URLs of my posts there so I can easily access them. I skim read through some of the posts before deleting them, and, if there are comments, I also take a moment to read through them. It brings back memories. Wrote a lot of posts about that site there, and, yeah, they aren't relevant anymore, but also have a lot of other stuff there like short stories, HP series, etc so can still move them elsewhere.

Louemham wrote on January 13, 2015, 10:19 AM
I haven't deleted any of them, as I really don't have the time to do it, there are too many on there. But I will get round to it, at some point.

FreyaYuki replied to Louemham on January 14, 2015, 7:57 AM
I'm deleting mine a few at a time so it won't be too overwhelming so I still have about a hundred or so there at the moment though I've already removed a lot. It does take time to remove them from there.

GayleStorm wrote on January 13, 2015, 5:13 PM
With some of my content, I'm excited to give it new life again. Other content just isn't relevant anymore but it's nice to look back through things.

FreyaYuki replied to GayleStorm on January 14, 2015, 8:23 AM
Yeah, I have some content there that isn't relevant anymore so am focusing on the ones that are evergreen and that can be moved elsewhere. Looking at the older posts does bring back memories especially seeing all the comments and the interaction there. It's so different there now.

bestwriter wrote on February 5, 2015, 1:16 AM
I am still there. I have no intention to copy before deleting and then closing the account as I like to post my original thoughts here.

FreyaYuki replied to bestwriter on February 7, 2015, 9:16 AM
I'm still there too. Still have some articles up (have already moved quite a number elsewhere) though haven't been writing much lately. It's depressing there because of the very low traffic and the bank page is at a complete standstill.

bestwriter replied to FreyaYuki on February 7, 2015, 6:18 PM
I very rarely go there. I do not get any likes - may be because my connections have forgotten me (lol).

FreyaYuki replied to bestwriter on February 8, 2015, 4:16 PM
I hardly get any either, which is why I've stopped posting there for now. Occasionally, I still go there, mostly to check if there are new posts from the CEO and if there's any good news like the payment threshold being lowered.

How To Remove Your Bubblews Articles And Publish Them On Another Site?

Also known as, "Moving Articles From The Site-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named? Here's 1 Way To Do It".

Planning to move articles from the site-that-shall-not-be-named (also known as Bubblews, but you knew that already, didn't you 😃)? Anyway, here's one method of removing and moving your posts from that site and putting them elsewhere (also known as here on Persona Paper. Well, you can put them anywhere you want like another writing site or your own website or blog).

Copy your article

Anyway, let's get started. First, before deleting a post from that site, copy the text elsewhere. You can put it on a word document or save it as a draft on Persona Paper (or whichever site or blog you want to post it to), but don't publish it yet.

Check for plagiarism

After copying the contents of your post from Bubblews to another site, you can check to see if it has been plagiarized. One way of doing this is by going to the Google search engine. Copy the title of your article then paste it on the Google search bar. Add quotation marks (" ") before and after the text then click the "search" button.

Your Bubblews article should show up. It should be the only one that will show up. If other articles show up, then it's possible that your post has been plagiarized. Check out those other articles to confirm.

Aside from using the title of your article, you can also copy text from the rest of your article and check Google to see if parts of it have been plagiarized.

File DMCA and don't delete your post if you've been plagiarized

If your post has been plagiarized, then file a DMCA, and don't delete your article from Bubblews yet.

Delete your article, copy the URL link

If your post hasn't been plagiarized, or if you've already taken care of those who've plagiarized you, then it's now time to head back to Bubblews (just for a short while). You can now delete your post from there, but be sure to save a copy of the URL link.

Go to Google Webmaster Tools

After doing that, go to this link - https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals?pli=1. This will take you to a login page where you'll be prompted to log on to your Google Account. After logging in, the link will automatically take you to the removals part of your Google Webmaster Tools account.

Request removal

On this page, you can see a textbox, and this is where you will enter the URL link of the Bubblews article that you just deleted. Click on the request removal button.

De-index your article from the search engines

The page will refresh and you will see the URL link you just entered listed below alongside the word "pending". Now, all you need to do is wait for your article to be de-indexed by the search engines. In my experience, this takes about a day or less. You'll know it's already been de-indexed when you see the word "pending" replaced with the word "removed".

Post on Persona Paper

After seeing that, you can now post your article on Persona Paper (or whichever site or blog you want to publish it on). If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask 😃.

Here are some of the comments from this article, back when it used to be posted elsewhere:

Shadi wrote on January 5, 2015, 4:16 PM
I deleted them and then I waited few months until they disappeared from search engines and then republished them on my blog.

FreyaYuki replied to Shadi on January 7, 2015, 11:34 AM
Ah, I see. I've also started to delete mine. But I used the Google Removal Tool to get them de-indexed faster so they can be published on other sites faster. For those who don't mind waiting, they don't have to use the removal tool since, as you say, the search engines will naturally de-index the deleted articles when they find the 404 or "page not found" pages.

Shadi replied to FreyaYuki on January 7, 2015, 12:06 PM
I didn't know you can de-index them before reading your post. I thought that option is available only for site owners. I will look up Google Removal Tool.

FreyaYuki replied to Shadi on January 7, 2015, 12:54 PM
If you have a Google Account, you can access the Google Removal Tool. Even if you don't own the site, as long as the article you want removed from the search engines has already been deleted and removed from the site, you can use the removal tool.

nbaquero wrote on January 5, 2015, 4:49 PM
freyayuki Thanks for the very detailed procedure. I have completed step one, I have a copy of all my posts already, so this will come handy to continue the process of moving my content in the next few weeks/months.

FreyaYuki replied to nbaquero on January 7, 2015, 11:58 AM
You're welcome. I'm also taking things slowly, so I still have some posts there, but I've moved quite a number already.

Tallawah wrote on January 5, 2015, 7:10 PM
This is excellent advice. I found an item I had written was plagairised by entering it into a search box; I forgot where I'd posted it. Up came a site I never saw before, and there, on that site, was my article! Exactly it! I contacted the site Admin and it was removed. I think periodically doing the 'search' as you suggested is the wisest thing, and I will be doing it. As to the scam, sorry, site that shall not be named, despite all the complaints; (the most successful have been made to the SF BBB....that is the San Fransisco Better Business Bureau. Apparently, everyone who complained there was paid.

Sadly, if you do a Compete.com you'll find that it has over 200k hits where other writing sites have 30k or less.

FreyaYuki replied to Tallawah on January 7, 2015, 12:02 PM
Sorry to hear about your article being plagiarized. Glad you got it removed. Yeah, checking your articles for plagiarism every once in a while is recommended though it can be time-consuming especially if you already have a lot of posts online. Heard about the BBB too and how many tried it. Will look into it too. It's too bad about the hits although, since many appear to be leaving the site already, maybe the number will soon decrease.

Hollyhocks100 wrote on January 6, 2015, 1:05 PM
Wow, this is very informative, and well put together, but I shan´t bother bringing anything over here from there, too much messing about.

FreyaYuki replied to Hollyhocks100 on January 7, 2015, 12:15 PM
Thanks. You can put them on other sites and blogs too, if you like.

Vickiw wrote on January 7, 2015, 11:30 AM

Thanks. Glad you find it useful. Also following you.

Gina145 wrote on January 9, 2015, 6:25 PM
Thanks for some useful advice. I've bookmarked this post for when I need the information about de-indexing my articles. I didn't know one could do that.

FreyaYuki replied to Gina145 on January 10, 2015, 3:28 PM
You're welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to ask 😃.

Gina145 replied to FreyaYuki on January 14, 2015, 5:10 PM
So far this has worked well. I'm taking it slow deleting articles as I want to reread the comments and see if there are any I want to save, but so far I've got three articles de-indexed and another pending. I wouldn't have known I could do this without your help :)

grandma20121 wrote on January 13, 2015, 12:42 PM
well i have a question for you, i am not sure but is it legal to delete your articles from other sites that you belong too? are there any rules regarding this? i always though once yup publish some where it belongs to that site, now i could be wrong but i am just looking for answers, also do you have to delete it from the other site before moving it here?

FreyaYuki replied to grandma20121 on January 14, 2015, 7:47 AM
This actually depends on which site you're talking about. On some sites (for example: Persona Paper, Bubblews, HubPages, Writedge, Daily Two Cents, etc), you own the copyright to your content. So you can do whatever you want with your articles including deleting them from those sites. You can check out a site's terms of service or terms of use to see what their policies are regarding this matter.

If you want to move articles from one site to another, you should delete them from the site where you originally posted them first. This is to prevent duplicate content. Some sites will require you to do that first before you republish your articles on their site. Hope this helped. 😃 If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Did You Hear The News About Bubblews?

Did you hear the latest news and update about Bubblews? According to an article posted by a staff member on the 31st of December 2014, they will no longer pay those who redeemed before the 11th of November 2014 while those who redeemed after the 11th can expect to be paid a reduced amount based on their new payment model / scheme.

The reason they gave was that there was way too much "manipulation and fraudulent activity". Oh, and they "apologize" for the "inconvenience" this may cause.

What do you think about this news? What's your opinion about this? Is this fair? is this right? It's understandable for people to be upset and hurt, right?

Saw so many posts of people who've lost so much and all they got was an apology for the "inconvenience" because, apparently, losing so much money is just merely an "inconvenience" for people and they can easily get over this with no problem (maybe if they were millionaires and rolling in cash, sure, but, otherwise, yeah, right). What a nice present for the new year 2015, huh? :( Isn't there anything that can be done about this?

Also, why is it that everyone got lumped into the "people who manipulated the system and did a lot of fraudulent things" category? Sure, there were those who really did that, but not everyone is like that. There are honest people too. There are good people in this world, so why should they be made to pay for the sins of the bad guys? Is that right? Is that fair? What do you think about this?

Here are some of the comments from this article, back when it used to be posted elsewhere:

RegieEstioco wrote on January 3, 2015, 5:29 AM
This means that I will no longer expect a pay from that B Site. I have $150 pending in there but the last redemption I think is October 30.

kelemenk replied to RegieEstioco on January 3, 2015, 6:53 AM
RegieEstioco I have one due from August and before the changes in October I was promised it will be taken care of. Very disappointed with them.

FreyaYuki replied to kelemenk on January 3, 2015, 8:38 AM
Same here. Also have an August redemption. Now it's gone :(

FreyaYuki replied to RegieEstioco on January 3, 2015, 8:36 AM
Sorry to hear that. Also lost an August redemption. Many others also lost so much. :(

kelemenk wrote on January 3, 2015, 6:50 AM
I am n happy about the changes there, but what bothers me most is how unprofessionally it was done and the sneaky way they operate. They made a mistake by setting their rates high according to them and that's why they adjusting it. They have right to change their policy and rates, but it is really unfair that there was no prior notice, plus that it effects recent activities too, not just the future ones. Them not paying past due claims prior to November 11-th after introducing that claim feature on their site in October is just outrageous. It feels like that was created to get people off their back.
Hope that members will eventually find this place so PP can strive.

kelemenk replied to kelemenk on January 3, 2015, 6:51 AM
sorry typo I meant "not happy"

FreyaYuki replied to kelemenk on January 3, 2015, 8:43 AM
Agree with you. Did you notice they posted that article on the 31st of Dec 2014 where most people will not likely find out about it until much later since this is the New Year's Eve? It's like they didn't want anyone to know about this. Was shocked when I found out the news, but was glad I didn't have to see this on the new year.

And yes, if they change their terms and policies, it should not affect the past but the future because they already promised to pay us before. Why would they just change it like that and why should they lump everyone as cheaters and spammers? Sure, there were cheaters and spammers and those people shouldn't be paid. But what about the honest and good people on that site? They should be paid for their efforts and they shouldn't be punished for things they didn't do. How is that fair? How is that right?

fufurinha wrote on January 3, 2015, 6:55 AM
I am so sick of hearing about bubblews. Lost almost 300 dollars there :/

FreyaYuki replied to fufurinha on January 3, 2015, 8:49 AM
Sorry to hear that :( Also lost an August redemption and have heard of so many others who've also lost hundreds of dollars. It isn't fair. Isn't there anything that can be done about this?

scheng1 wrote on January 3, 2015, 7:37 AM
Bubblews is not profitable, and they are slow in getting rid of those who break the rules.

FreyaYuki replied to scheng1 on January 4, 2015, 1:56 AM
Yeah. Then they blame everyone for breaking them when not everyone tried to manipulate the system or engage in "fraudulent activity".

ashuli wrote on January 3, 2015, 7:45 AM
well, in another 15-20 days they will inform everyone that they won't pay to those who redeemed before 15th December 2014 but will keep those accounts active and keep earning from the manipulated accounts too but wont pay... :D

FreyaYuki replied to ashuli on January 4, 2015, 2:00 AM
Hope they won't do something like that. Many people are angry and upset enough as it is. Even more will be angry and will want to leave if they do that. Seems like so many are already leaving.

LadyDuck wrote on January 3, 2015, 8:54 AM
Of course I have read the news because I lost 150$ in old pending redemption and the actual pending were reduced to almost 1/4. They are the real cheaters and manipulators. Not even a "sorry" for all the users that are not cheaters. And today my bank is decreasing... they are cheating even more.

FreyaYuki replied to LadyDuck on January 4, 2015, 2:08 AM
:( Also lost an August redemption. So many people lost so much. This isn't fair. And, yeah, they didn't really say sorry. That post by the staff just said they "apologize" (sounds so insincere, doesn't it?) for the "inconvenience" this may cause the members as if losing hundreds of dollars is just a mere "inconvenience" for so many people and that people can just easily get over what they did.

If one lost hundreds of dollars, how can they just get over it? That's a lot of time and effort wasted and for what? Nothing. Makes one wonder if there is really nothing that can be done about this because shouldn't they get to pay for what they did to so many people? Don't think my bank there is even increasing anymore or, if it is, it's doing so at a snail's pace.

LadyDuck replied to FreyaYuki on January 4, 2015, 2:29 AM
I know a single mother who lost 500$, she needs the money to pay her bills. They did not consider that some people badly needed that money... the timing was very bad too.

FreyaYuki replied to LadyDuck on January 5, 2015, 12:59 PM
:( I'm hearing many more stories like this. It's terrible. They should put themselves in the shoes of all the members and think about what they'd feel if they worked so hard only to get the news that they won't get anything for all their time and efforts. And, yes, the timing was really bad. Of all times to announce that news.

peachpurple wrote on January 3, 2015, 9:37 AM
I have sept, oct and november there but dates are before 11 nov, so everything gone into rhe toilet bowl

FreyaYuki replied to peachpurple on January 4, 2015, 2:10 AM
:( I have an August redemption that I lost too. Have also read about many people also losing a lot of redemptions. This isn't fair for the honest and good people who didn't manipulate the system or engage in fraudulent activity :(

SandraLPetersen wrote on January 3, 2015, 9:42 AM
I haven't written a post for Bubblews for three months because of the shifting sand policies over there. My bank didn't change with the latest staff posts about their woes (because of their poor business decisions). It shows $23.56. I'm only halfway to the $50 payment threshold. I've made 20 cents since November 11. So is the rest of that money unredeemable? If all I really have is the 20 cents and the $23.36 made before November 11 isn't really there, then I might as well cut my losses and remove all of my posts.

BarbRad replied to SandraLPetersen on January 3, 2015, 11:50 PM
I think that would be wise. Use your time here and at least you will get paid for your efforts and not have to wonder if it's ever coming.

FreyaYuki replied to SandraLPetersen on January 4, 2015, 2:14 AM
Have about $44+ in their bank, but it seems to take forever to even earn a cent there. At this rate, it'd be months before anyone can cash out since so many are reporting slow earnings. Hate to lose that amount of money though since already lost an August redemption. Guess the money can't be redeemed unless we reach the minimum payout. Some are asking for the payment threshold to be lowered, which would be nice if it can actually happen, so we can cut our losses and leave, but guess that's just wistful thinking.

Louemham wrote on January 3, 2015, 9:55 AM
That is the very reason why I signed up to PP. Bubblews have messed around with too many people so I thought I'd broaden my options.

FreyaYuki replied to Louemham on January 4, 2015, 2:22 AM
Persona Paper seems like a very good site when compared to that one. The community here is nice and the people I've encountered so far seem very friendly and helpful. Enjoying my stay here so far. Hope it's the same for you.

imphavok wrote on January 3, 2015, 10:23 AM
I closed my Bubblews account yesterday. That's it for me. I thankfully did not lose any money, but I stand in solidarity with those that are being screwed over. I will not support a dishonest site.

FreyaYuki replied to imphavok on January 4, 2015, 2:27 AM
Lost an August redemption and see so many others who have lost hundreds of dollars and so many more redemptions. It's good that you didn't lose any money.

beachchair wrote on January 3, 2015, 4:06 PM
I had just joined that site. I am waiting for my 2 redemptions to come through then I am done with them.

FreyaYuki replied to beachchair on January 5, 2015, 1:00 PM
Good luck. Hope you get your payments from them without any problems.

Mooiiyaan wrote on January 3, 2015, 11:07 PM
I think it isn't fair at all. I'm really disappointed with that site too. I hope they get delete from the cyber world xD

FreyaYuki replied to Mooiiyaan on January 5, 2015, 1:11 PM
LOL. It would seem like a lot of people would want that. It really isn't fair what they did to the site members. It's more than disappointing or upsetting and all they can say is they "apologize" for the "inconvenience". Does that sound insincere or what?

BarbRad wrote on January 3, 2015, 11:46 PM
It was a betrayed of trust and just not right. They have in their TOS they can change their payment plan anytime, but it should not be retroactive. They have actually stolen people's time and labor. It seems from the beginning they didn't trust any of us and considered all of us guilty of trying to cheat while we constantly had to prove our innocence. It is also the only site I've been on where your entire redemption amount could be forfeited for a mistake on one post that was unintentional. Other sites might delete a post for some reason and the earnings associated with it, but they didn't take all you'd earned on every post that followed every rule along with the one they considered in violation.

FreyaYuki replied to BarbRad on January 5, 2015, 1:31 PM
It looks like they actually changed / updated their TOS without telling anyone about it (or did I just miss something? As far as I know, no one said anything about changes to the TOS; only found out when I took a look at it after reading the new year's eve announcement regarding redemptions).

Their latest TOS talks about changes not being retroactive but it appears to be more in favor of the site. The previous version of their TOS mentions the retroactive policy again but it's more favorable for the members (according to the archives). Is their latest TOS change even valid if they didn't tell anyone about it (because, usually, sites will tell you if there are changes to their TOS, right, so you can decide if you still want to keep using it or something?)?

It isn't right how they considered everyone to be cheaters. Whatever happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'? There were bad people on that site but there were also honest members who abided by the rules and they shouldn't be punished for things they didn't do.

I think that's what made me unhappy -- that everyone was assumed to be a violator if we could get by with it so everyone was punished by admin reactions, such as no longer being able to edit posts after 24 hours. It was always feeling that we were being treated like naughty children.

So in that case, i am not going to expect anymore. I have not read their post yet. Sad face for me.

They posted the announcement on the 31st of December 2014. It is really sad, not to mention unfair for all the honest writers there. They shouldn't be lumped in with the spammers and cheaters.

I am very upset of what Bubblews did to me. Not only to me but for all.

FreyaYuki replied to luisga814 on January 6, 2015, 11:27 AM
Lots of people are upset, which is completely and totally understandable considering what they did to pretty much everyone or so it seems. How could this ever be considered fair or right?

FreyaYuki I am not longer expecting my missing redemption. It was a costly way of finding out the type of people that owns and manages that site. But I am moving forward, and will continue focusing on PersonaPaper

FreyaYuki replied to nbaquero on January 5, 2015, 2:24 PM
Also focusing a bit more on Persona Paper. It isn't fair how they just erased so many people's redemptions in one fell swoop though and think that they should pay the honest writers there who didn't break any of the rules.

nbaquero replied to FreyaYuki on January 5, 2015, 2:27 PM
Yes, the should pay, but I'd rather devote my time and efforts here, and later on (if time permits) will try to see if there is any way to recover that money, at the moment things are too confusing to get any results on that front, I think.

FreyaYuki replied to nbaquero on January 6, 2015, 11:29 AM
It would be great if there was a way for people to recover the money they lost. Not everyone on that site cheated or engaged in fraudulent activity. The honest writers should not be punished for what they didn't do; they should get what is owed to them.

This is totally unfair, because how can they be sure that there are fraud in every blogger who redeemed that day. I guess they are just bluffing to avoid paying the bloggers there. God bless. You canonly do that if you have proof that all of those bloggers who redeemed that day have violations.

FreyaYuki replied to crowntower on February 25, 2015, 4:41 PM
I agree. I thought it was unfair too. Not everyone there cheated or spammed, etc. There were honest people on that site and they shouldn't be made to pay for the sins of the guilty. How is that fair, right or just?
