Articles Department...

[-Xiangu-]

This is the first thing I noticed in the thread; a writer who has spelt "insight" incorrectly attempting to promote the articles section.

Everyone makes mistakes .


This also struck me as odd, because it's appalling in terms of grammar.

Its a signature it doesn't need to be perfect.

Perhaps not but writers should really have some grasp of language.

There is definately a lack of interest, our recent attempts to get more trialists was dismal with only one application which wasnt quite up to par...

Fine, I won't bother next time. People don't want to write after school/work so writing articles 2 times a week (or whatever the requirement is here) makes it harder to get those good writers but they can't be bothered doing the job.

Articles has always been a background job. You need constant ideas. For HabboNation, I used a 'Service with a smile' which basicially meant a user on the forum/site would request which room they wanted to see reviewed on the site. The writers would then have to review the room that the person requested and that's a way to get readers from the forum onto the site to read them and also gets writers writing!

Someone get management to look at this thread. I want feedback on my post.

If you want to see my grasp of language then please look at my articles...

I said it wasn't up to par, this means that you probably weren't quite good enough to become a writer. It was not up to me if you were good enough or not, so don't let my words deter you from trying again. Not being mean or anything but your last sentence in the quote doesn't make sense. I can understand, but you see what I mean.

I totally agree that some people would have trouble writing two articles a week, this is why we are only asked to do one.

Well, if I'm not good enough now with all the experience that I've acquired over the years, then I won't be good enough whenever they next open. And yes, you're right. That last sentence makes no sense lmao. What I meant was 'It's hard to find good writers who want to write in their free time but most can't be bothered. "Writing's for school, not in my leisure time"'

edit: Even one is too much work for some people

edit: Even one is too much work for some people

That's why some people, don't apply for a writers job?

[Inseriousity.]

Exactly! Hence the low number of applications

I wouldn't say one article would deter people too much. For instance I am in the middle of my final GCSE year yet I am still managing to juggle that and writing an article. I have a lot of work but I still manage to get at least 4.0 grade average all year round... Its out of five incase you don't know... not meaning to be patronizing.

Hence that most people who apply are lazy.
