Are editors working?

Hello Editors,
REVOLUTION OR END FOR ME
I dont know about who much hectic your schedule is or how much do you work in a day but i have posted many business and reviews but none of them are approved yet.
There are many business post and reviews that were posted after me and since those post were from some of the senior members so they got easily approved but mine are still not as here on ISC it's like survival of the fittest is not the criteris but survival of the senior is going on.
So if some of the editors are not working then they should be removed from their post and new young ,talented members should be given a chance for them so that they can be idol for new ISC members.
Lets see what are the responses of the senior members as well as the editors.
While making a post to my forum please write your designation that you hold on ISC so that everybody can judge you and your work.
If you think this is a absurd thing that i have done so please forgive me but think of those talented ISC members which are demotivated just because of some of you.

Hi Manish Jain
It is true that posts of some senior member get approved easily as they had worked hard to make an image here. Editors dont have to search their posts for copy paste issue, while most of the members posts need to be checked by intense search in google and other search engine site.
Let me take example of your posts, though your business posts is still to be evaluated but seeing the record of your resource 8 out of 16 has been deleted due to copying. Among the approved posts even some part is copied. So it is obvious that editors may take time to evaluate them.

Hello Namitha,
Can you asure me that all the post that the senior editors post here are all their own.I bet you cant,in the same way i am saying that i copies the post from somewhere but the copied part is always 10%,i only copies the theme of the other post and some facts and figures and i dont think anyone can change the facts and the theme of any post but ii also can bet you that the editors give a high amount of money as cash credit to the senior members but just have a look to all my post and then say if these all post were posted by some of the senior member or the editor himeself/herself than they will be alloted the same amount.
I dont think my english is so poor or so good but what ever i write that comes directly from my heart,and all this nepotism always asks me to drop down this site from my memory but i am here to get some knowledge as knowledge is the only thing that cant be taken away from any one reest all things can be taken away either by hook or crook.
Hope you understand me,and please do ask your fellow members in your contact to put some view on this otherwise one day this site will also bea part of dirty politics.I am sorry to write all this but since i can't take any wrong thing going in front of me.Sorry again if it hurts you.

Hi Manish and All,
Copying content from other site is illegal and it is fully risk which you will be in trouble and you let ISC and related associates to be in trouble too also which could lead to many legal issues and bad images to all concern.
Hence, please try to stop this habit completely if you do so for your goodness, whatever you have knowledge related to study, career, business, resource, jokes, question, politics and Indian subject etc, type in your own word (in MS-Word to avoid spelling mistakes) and post self written different content, in turn, it will give you fruitful benefit, in doing so, you will get self-confidence which is precious and you will be recognized on your own way not only in ISC but wherever you are, also, some time your self-content post style may look alike one to another but subject matter / text / theme should be a different than what you already posted in ISC.
Take your own time and think well in cool temperamental then try to write and post the same in ISC…
Getting idea and style from various source has no issue but not to copy...
As far as my knowledge of post rejection in ISC has two reasons;
1. Rejecting due to copy from another site which is strictly illegal and trouble to all which could lead till legal…
2. Rejecting due to the subject that you try to post would have been already posted by other ISC member in the past which again should not be posted if same subject or topic or text etc…(so, before you select and write any topic try to search it in ISC, in doing so, you will save lot of time)
My experience in 4 months with ISC is, My genuine few post also sometime rejected but I did not worry much because I spent time to research it and tried to find what I did mistakes and rectified also I tried and posted differently then most of them got approved...finally somewhat they recognized me too.
Why senior members got approved? Yes, they are senior and they are aware what to do’s and don’ts, so, they follow it and get easy approval.
We understand your concern as you have put lot of time & effort like other members but not to worry...you do your best and they will approve their best...
All the best…

Hello Mr Hafeez,
First of thanks for all your kind understanding that you have with me as a big brother,but let me tell you one thing for sure that let's take the live example of the same post that you have posted right now,this post is really nice and has been awarded 10 points to that means the post contents are strong enough,but how much cash credits have you got for this and how much cash credits have you got for all the 65 posts that you have posted and just have a look at some other members who either are editors or the friends of editors have got for the same type of resource you have posted and tell me how many have you seen getting 10 points like you for answering in a forum and yet not earning a single Rs.I dont think you have answer for this.You are a kind of guy who is seing that something wrong is going on but still sitting silently being afraid of the editorial board and the senior members but i am not the guy like you, i cant see somthing wrong happening in front of me.
Just have a look at my recent resource and have a responce there as this will definetly be not approved by the editors on ISC.Please see it below is the link provided.
Respond to the following resource:http://www.indiastudychannel.com/resources/ViewResource.aspx?resourceId=85726

Hi Manish,
Thanks for your detail, First let me clarify you, what I know from ISC is, whenever you post with more than few lines in forum, 6 points maximum will be given by default as it is system programmed, immediately our posted thing will not be viewed by editor as they have so much in queue to follow, when they come to our thread and text, they will then examine it which could take few hours from when we posted in forum or any section, if they are satisfied with complete subject matter, they will then decide to increase the point or even add amount for best reply which will take time, if they are not satisfied with your subject answer or due to copied or repeated one reason, they may then even minus our points.
For your information, I got few Rupees in Forum earlier for “Swine flu” topic…which was not added immediately, it tooks around two days.
My opinion for you is the link you provided in resource section is – you should have posted this concern in Forum section instead of Resource. Resource section has a different meaning and different category where you can post other than any ISC issue…
Hope above explains and all the best…
Thanks,

Hi Manish,
I understand your concern, yes, just as Namitha have said, many of the senior members work really very hard, and we check their posts also at random.
Mr. Tony have clearly said so that he wants to make this business directory of ISC a one stop solution. So we the editors are very careful in editing and approving.
Also, there seems to be some bug in the cash and points getting added to the total and it have been informed to Mr. Tony.

Hi Manish,
I do best what I think is good. You can check my posts for copy paste and let me know if you find anything, except for some parts in the business listings like Amenities, Packages, facilities which cannot be written in my own words.
As far as Resources are concerned I am not happy with the editing. You might think that I am also one there but only for Recipes, even that I am not doing for the past two three days.
I have not been happy with the way my recipe posts were handled. Some ordinary recipes have been given high ratings and some good ones were given very low ratings. They are very inconsistent. When I asked the concerned person for the reason I was not given any. So I stopped going to the Recipes section either to edit or to post.
As for my rating posts as an Editor, I have been doing as told by my admin, Coordinator and the lead editor. I have not done anything more than that.
There is already a lot of politics going on here as you said. I am an editor here and as you say one of the senior members who have been getting good points and cash credits.
I have a blog of my own, I never copy paste even from my blog. No one can write something on their own. You read something somewhere, get inspired with what you read and then write here at ISC or at your Blog. That's all. I just do not like to while away my limited time and that's the reason I am not seen much. That is the main reason for my total points / cash to be somewhat equal. There isn't much gap. What I have been posting here are only valuable posts. So I have been getting more cash credits and a preference here.
I have not been made a Supreme council member at Ask Agent/ Ammas.com site, for nothing. I am a very well known person there. Just go there and check out if you like.
Hafeezur Rehman,
Thank you for taking up for us, Editors. I am very much sure that you have improved in your posting and sometimes I can see that yours is a clean one, without even checking or searching Google for it. I can mention some other names also but do not want to mention them here.

Hi,Manish,whatever your complaints may be, first of all please avoid capital letters. Your words "REVOLUTION OR END FOR ME" is a way of shouting and needlessly gives an aggressive tone. Also, as pointed out by the Webmaster and other responders here, complaints should be made in the Forum only and not in the Resource section.
-
Regarding your title: Yes, Editors are very much working! Actually, I am not really surprised by your post. There are members like you who feel demotivated when their articles get rejected. They spend a lot of time on it, and then get rejections without being assigned any reason. Yes, that is disheartening; but then they are very much aware that copy-pasted and poor quality articles that give no information are going to be rejected. Despite this awareness, they continue to post such articles - then how can the Editors be blamed?
Regarding the other points in your Forum post:
* Your business posts and reviews not yet being approved - it so happens that there is a large number of contributions to these sections and it does take time to approve them.
* Senior members' posts being approved first - that is not necessarily true; some of my own business posts took more than a week for approval.
* You stated "if some of the editors are not working then they should be removed from their post" - well, let me tell you something that members are not aware of: the Webmasters do pull up Editors due to lack of inactivity on their part and have recently appointed new Editors.
* If your resource posts have been rejected, obviously the Editors have done so for a valid reason. Yes, hard facts cannot be changed, but the style and information should be in your own words. You yourself admit that "10% is copied" - even that 10% is not permissible unless it is some hard facts like statistical data or names or places.
* Since your Resource articles have been deleted, other members cannot judge the content or explain to you why it could possibly have been rejected.
* If you feel that another member/Editor has posted a copy-pasted article, please give that information in a separate Forum thread. We do have alert members who report copy-pasted contributions, whether a Forum response or a Resource article and these are then dealt with striclty.
My advice to you: Please do read Resource articles posted not just by senior members but others too and see the quality of their posts. For example, see the contributions of Tapas Mitra and Prateek. Read the travel articles by Editors Dr.Sparsha and the articles by Harish Jharia - simple, relevant, informative and to the point.

Hi Manish,
I can understand your emotion. But one thing I would like to tell is you are not the only person who face this problem (articles being rejected, articles taking too long to approve, low ratings/credits etc) Many of the ISC members including me face this problem. But as Vandana and Tony said whatever problems you face, try to bring them to the concerned person's notice in a polite way. Also keep your disgust confined to a particular thread. I bet you will get some quick and convincing responses in no time. Still if you are not satisfied, you can either mail the concerned person or talk to him directly. Verifying huge number of piled up resources is a tough job for anyone. Some times injustice happens. But I don't think magnifying the problem by large bold texts and slogans is a good thing to do.
If you are so honest with your resources, then they don't need any third person justification, do they?. Simply create and post your rejected resources in your own blog. If Google verifies them as genuine, you can certainly earn revenue through ad sense.

Hi Manish Jain,
I am a Platinum member at ISC and have worked much at this site from many months. I strongly oppose your view as I also have many business posts still pending and even many resources paying me less.
i have posted many business and reviews but none of them are approved yet.
I too had posted two business posts it took more than two weeks for getting approved. and still one is in pending. Your Post being moved to pending is a cautionary alert for you so that you can correct your mistakes made in the post. For the pending ones you need to correct the mistakes being done by editing and then leave a message for the concerned editor so that they would have a look on it.
And also, Editing is not an easier matter in some sections like Business category because the editor also needs to give the author cash credits if eligible. And Cash is not just something Pouring from the heaven to the admin such that he can give cash credits to even the less quality contents. So Editing takes some time. And we the ordinary members should not think anything odd related to that issue.
I like to say you that, Editing may take time but none of the resources will be unedited.
So if some of the editors are not working then they should be removed from their post and new young ,talented members should be given a chance for them so that they can be idol for new ISC members.
For your kind information, I would like to say you that the editors are removed if there is any improper functioning or in-activeness of them. And at such times new editors will be appointed. If one wants to become an Editor then one must wait for such a time to be recognized by the web masters.
but I also can bet you that the editors give a high amount of money as cash credit to the senior members but just have a look to all my post and then say if all these posts were posted by some of the senior member or the editor himeself/herself then would they have been alloted the same amount?
I strongly oppose this because even now I post three to four self-written resources a day which would be of a good quality and also qualntity. But I would be paid only 5 to 20 Rs. each. Only some times if the article is of best quality with lump-sum of information in it I would be paid 30 to 40 Rs. not more than that.
If at all the editors are paid little more then it is because that they are not able to put more content as they will be having the editing work which would kill a lot of their time.
So I would like to request you to change your mind about ISC and to have a better aim at ISC's platform.
All the best for your future. Hope you contribute well and would help to make ISC a glory.
Regards

Hi Manish ,First of all i want to clear your one doubt about how Hafeezur Rahman point get reduced from 10 to 7. As you have seen earlier that Hafeezur has 10 points for his response which is not possible as maximum points are only 6 for a response but i want to tell you that their is a system of Rating in ISC if you have seen it below each response.It looks like this.
Now for Excellent 10 points are awarded and for Copy right violation 20 points are reduced. So think if editor is giving point to him and first he like response and rate it as Excellent and then Editor give cash credits and then reduced points to 7 and at that time you were also responding to that post,that's why you see 10 points becoming 7 points and for that you blame Editors which is not good thing.
And as far as your business or any post are concerned, i know that no editor will check new submission form between. Their is a systematic way of approving a post and every editor know how much hard work is done by the poster to write the post so every post is checked very carefully and some times happens that post goes on pending and for that Editor of that section tells the submitter to edits his/her post if he has copied and that Post is not present in ISC and if the post is already present then that post is directly deleted. Sometimes it may happen that Editor is not able to tell the poster about his pending post so its now duty of submitter to check if his post is in pending or got deleted at that time you may check Google for your description of the post if same exists in other website or not or its duplicate is already present. So before posting such messages in Forum first you should ask the concern editor that why his post is deleted or is in Pending.
As far as you are saying that Editors or senior members are given more cash credits,it is absolutely wrong as many editors some times even not get much cash credits for some post.
Here ISC promote its new user very much by giving them Member of the week Prize. Do ever noticed that Member of the week award is always given to the New members.
And ISC always gives chance to New members for becoming their team members or editors. As in 5 months i become Editor but it usually depends on Vacancy.
Hope you have understood my long Lecture,its just for your information not to discourage or hurt you.

Hello Friends,
I am an ex-editor and now a common member like everyone else on this site. First I worked as an editor for 'Ask Experts Section' for quite some time and then I was shifted from there to 'English Section'.
Complaints of members about partial treatment by editors should be taken seriously and inquired thoroughly, rather than making counterarguments with the member by all the editors coming together and joining the chorus.
During my last 6 month-plus stay in ISC and after contributing many quality contents I too felt that the rating awarded to my posts were too low compared to that posted by some prominent members / editors.
I raised this issue many times to the webmaster and he promptly revised the points and cash credits to a higher ranking. Nevertheless , it is not possible for members to bother the webmaster every now and then.
Eventually, I gave up and stopped contributing bulky articles, reviews and other time-consuming creative works; because, they were either kept pending for approval or were given much lower ranking and cash credits.
In some cases my works were ranked extremely good... but the ranking changed with the pleasure of the editors.
I do not support copied content and I never copied anything yet some of my posts were deleted.
I appeal to the editors and the members also to be sincere with their own jobs and avoid arguments.
Regards,
Harish Jharia

hello,
Everyone ,what is wrong or what is right i can't tell but if problem is there why should'nt the Isc care takers do a poll so that view of every members of isc will come to know and it will be fare enough and we will come to know what is right.
One thing i also want to ask that i have seen in the ISC that some members earns 2000 to 3000 points in a single day , it is something unusual to me. How can anybody post so much content and from where they bring so much content.
| | Author: Rohit Mian 12 Sep 2009 | Member Level: Diamond | Rating: Points: 6 (Rs. 3) |
Hello Manish Jain,
If you are looking for perfectness then I would say that it is not possible anywhere. Comparing few postings cannot ever be good enough to test the credibility of the editors. ISC is not a small site. It has more than one lakh fifty thousand members and hundreds of them joining everyday. The work of editors is not an easy job.
Let me tell you most of the new members who join ISC come with a thought of earning quick money by just copying and pasting. Editors thus have to review each and every post. Thus it takes a lot of time. Editors also keep an eye on the contributors who consistently show good and quality contributions. This develops the image of that particular member. This is the reason why senior and good contributors get their posts easily approved because not that much of testing is required as it is with the postings of new members.
As far as the cash credits are concerned, I think they are totally given on the quality of your post. I am too a student and hardly known to anybody here on ISC personally. Initially I also faced the same problem, with long delays in approval, with no cash credits for resources, but continued my efforts and made improvement in them. This started developing mine image on ISC.
Moreover I would say that, if you feel that are not earning anything, let me remind you that you have neither invested anything here.So whatever small or big ISC pays for us we should feel happy for it. Above all we should feel proud that ISC is giving us a platform to learn and earn at the same time without any initial membership payments.
Thank you to all webmasters for creating this beautiful site.

Hi Manish Jain,
I have gone through all the posts in this thread. I fully understand your emotions and respect your feelings. But my friend, will you just think over the following matters?
1. How many active members are there in this portal? How many of them are contributing to various sections? Just think of the number of posts per day and the amount of work it involves in scrutinizing them all and making a proper judgment.
2. After all, the editors are also human-beings and they have been trying their best to improve the quality of the site.
As you know, ‘to err is human and to forgive divine.’ So instead of finding fault with the editors, is it not better to review ourselves. Is it not good to think that the man sitting at the editor’s desk must be experienced enough to handle his jobs properly?
If instead of blaming the editors alone, (who are, in my opinion, have achieved the distinction of this grand post only because of their qualities, hard work and devotion) we try to improve our own qualities and mould ourselves compelling them to focus on our writings; that would be better not only for the site but also for ourselves as it would definitely help us improve our skill and ability.
Just imagine yourself to be in the post of editors. If someone makes such allegations what would be your reaction?
With warm regards,
Tapas Mitra

Hi Editors & All,
It was at mid-night on 11th Sep 2009-Friday (For me duty-off on Saturday & Sunday, so I browsed at that time at home), when I was browsing ISC in various sections and I found one thread in Forum section where Manish (new member) worried on Editor’s work and ISC with the thread topic “Are editors working”. When I was reading his statement I came to know that he is also a new member who doesn’t read the ISC guideline much and other related thread where new member used to ask so many questions and concerns which in turn editor & senior used to reply them often along with some proof in various sections.
At this point, only Editor/Namitha replied to him first as other Editor might be busy in other task or off-line. So, as I am a senior to Manish in ISC even I doesn’t know him, I just explained him my view and experience with ISC – how it works etc. later he raised few questions in which I came to knew that he is really not aware most of the thing, procedure & action for which I replied him accordingly that he will practically know it soon.
The main concern over here is once member joined here in ISC, few of them doesn’t read most of ISC FAQ, ISC Guideline on or about various sections, Google instruction and many more instruction etc., but they are aiming to earn points and cash as soon as possible ignoring all the above instruction (as some of ISC new member thinks or heard from other guys that earning huge money via net is easy which actually not).
Here I would like to add and witness that for my first reply posted to Manish has got 6 points initially without any amount added, next day observed that editor has added 1 more point which total become 7 points right now along with satisfaction amount added to my reply, thanks to all including Manish since he asked this question and I got opportunity to reply which in turn I got knowledge, points and money too for both the reply.
Thanks to Latha for Appreciated me in this regard.
Hi All editors, I have not override or overrule you guys by giving such reply to Manish, my replies toward Manish could be more or less correct in terms of ISC rules and regulation, but I replied him due to it was midnight where he was on-line like me and I felt you guys might be off-line or assigned with other tasks. So, I gave him immediate response whatever I knew about editor and ISC to let him know the reality about this platform where he should have been realized sooner or later.
New member’s lack of knowledge on ISC FAQ, Guidelines and other instruction etc. creates so many unnecessary questions over here. Hope it can be solved soon if tried.
I would like to take this opportunity to inform new members and others that "editors are working on our post based on priority"...first come first serve basis...so, wait for your turn...
Once again I am replying this thread at midnight, thanks to all…Happy week end...

Hi,
Many doesn't seem to know what the Editors are doing. I can only talk about the sections I was taking care of.
There are some , who just write the first two lines on their own and copy paste the rest. So each and every line should be checked. If you want to know how much time it will take, just try it out yourself. Just highlight a part of the post and post it in the Google search. You can see how it shows up.
That too, for a category like Recipes and Business, you should know that there are too many sites in the net. If one goes through the guidelines, then, they will also know that they cannot copy the advertisements published in other business sites. Most of the sites follow the Copyrights very seriously. That will become an issue to the admin of ISC and also the member concerned.
Even now , after telling everyone so many times, they just do the same thing again and again. We have asked members not to use colour fonts, capitals or any other decorating methods there buit they still do it. Posts like that get into Pending. If I have any doubts about the points or cash to be given, I keep it in pending till Rajmi takes a look at it. She has been busy for some time now. That was the main reason of pending posts in Business.
For Resources, I was only looking after recipes. The posts will be put in pending for me to check and rate. I used to go one by one to edit and approve. Those who know how it is done will know what I go through. I do not have the Manage resources active there, since I get my posts done through Pending lists.
I was spending about 2 hours daily for editing just recipes. I was doing editing there, in all sincerity, as I was told, but my recipes were rated haphazardly. It seemed as if I will get a bad name from there, so I stopped editing there. Anyone can check out my latest recipes in that section. You will know what I mean.
I am just giving you a very small hint of what an Editor does. So what happens to the lead Editors? They are also humans isn't it. As an Editor I am not able to post much, then what will happen to the Lead Editors? Try to understand what goes on here at ISC and please do give us time for us.
If any post is not rated, put in pending or deleted and you are in doubt, just ask us personally. Do not run to the forum at once. I do hope all of you will try to understand the difficulties we as Editors face.

Hi Manish,
It would not be fair to say that the senior members get all their posts approved quickly. Sometimes there is a time delay. Please understand that editors of the site are not fully paid jobs. Of course they get a lot of points and some remuneration but that is for the work they put in. There have been many instances when there is a delay in getting posts approved. We can be considerate to understand the immense pressure the editors have in terms of volume. But it is good that you brought this to the attention.
Regards
SKumarS

OK, looks like I missed all the fun action again as usual with the past few months. It seems a bit of order will do well out here. Lots of questions there but lots of answers too. Let me answer some quoting the member's questions too.
Quote from Manish Jain - "There are many business post and reviews that were posted after me and since those post were from some of the senior members so they got easily approved but mine are still not as here on ISC it's like survival of the fittest is not the criteria but survival of the senior is going on."
Hi Manish, I apologise to you for the experience you have faced. We have recently been getting a lot of complaints about delayed posts approval in Business section. Let me tell you, we are working hard to approve them but the delay is to ensure full quality content. It can more or less be called deliberate so that, you and your friends get the right thing always. A little bit of patience in ISC is required for now, but we are sure in the future, you will never have to wait. Regarding senior members' approval, I don't think that's ever the case, we always give priority to new members in guiding them properly and making them achieve success in a huge level. You are always valuable for us.
Another one from Manish - "Can you asure me that all the post that the senior editors post here are all their own."
Everyone can Manish. We have become editors based on the trust we have earned since we became the site's members. I won't need to assure you, you can see it yourselves seeing all the Editor's contributions. Have a look and tell me. You will find everything purely original and hand-written.
Quote from Manish - "If some of the editors are not working then they should be removed from their post and new young, talented members should be given a chance for them so that they can be idol for new ISC members."
We are. We constantly get new guys in. No stopping to that because we look for people who are dynamic and act as true leaders. Recently, we got in so many editors. We say, IF YOU HAVE GOT IT, YOU ARE IN. So show us, help members, post quality content and tomorrow, you might very well be one of us.
Quote from Harish - "Eventually, I gave up and stopped contributing bulky articles, reviews and other time-consuming creative works; because, they were either kept pending for approval or were given much lower ranking and cash credits. "
Hi Harish, you have been a part of us for some time now but it is quite disheartening to see you leave. Anyways, that is your decision. I apologise for your experience too. Unfortunately, you have faced what 99% don't. Since the time I joined ISC, I realised one thing, if you are looking for a bunch of purely honest and trusty guys, they are all here in ISC. I always got rewarded suitably - not only by money but also by knowledge which I am proud to boast of today in front of my peers. I am sure you will be able to change your decision soon.
Quote from Ashu - "One thing i also want to ask that i have seen in the ISC that some members earns 2000 to 3000 points in a single day , it is something unusual to me. How can anybody post so much content and from where they bring so much content."
Those who can spare time for ISC can even earn 10,000 points in ISC Ashu even if it means working for 24 hours. If some data is missing, people add it and if they have more time than just 2-3 hours, they will add more. However, if they post the same repeated content, they will be appropriately penalised for that and the rightful deserved points will be awarded.
Quote from SajithkumarS - "Please understand that editors of the site are not fully paid jobs."
Sajith, you are right but then I know that all ISC editors never do this job for money, but for our love to this portal. Money is more or less immaterial for us but what really matters to us is helping ISC to reach the top and helping it's members to stay happy and enjoy their learning experience here.
I hope my response douses off some sporadic fire. Never worry Manish, we will always be unbiased and will always look forward to guide you whenever you need. If you want, you can ping me in Google Talk in my ID - a4rocks[at]gmail.com. Come and have a chat with me. I am sure I can change your ISC experience topsy-turvy immediately. And remember, we are never buggered by your questions but are happy that you have questions and bring it forward. Clearing all doubts and freeing your mind is the correct thing to do in today's life.
Regarding this,
REVOLUTION OR END FOR ME
I think it should stay this way. Looks and feels better. Don't worry. Come with more questions and I or rather we will tell you everything. We are here to help you only, just a knock away. Do not hesitate. Know more about ISC and you will know what ISC really has to offer you in terms of knowledge and a fat cheque (couldn't resist it!) at the end of the day. Enjoy, take care and have fun.

Hi,
I am a new member.
I am trying to contribute from my experience what ever way possible. I feel happy I have a platform to spread my thoughts and see that others can improve their life.
How ever I really felt astonished by reading Ashu's response that some contributers do get 2000 to 3000 points in a day?
Is it possible?
Even if send resources from my presentation program "10 commandments for personal productivity" about one chapter in a day it gives me around 20 points. That work is not less than around 2 hours worth. That is all my original.
2000 to 3000 points in a day is simply unthinkable.
Please let me know it is true or imaginary.

Hi Shashikant,
I would like to ask you one question. Politely. Choose which one is better - coming and earning 2000 points in a single day and not coming again for long time or earning 2000 points day by day and also earning cash for it? Decide and tell me. I am sure you would like to go for the 2nd option. See normally members who do earn that much of points post stuff like Colleges, Schools and other things. One these are posted, a duplicate post will not be approved. Thus, it is just a one time thing. Whereas posting resources will give you recognition in the online community alongwith good money once your AdSense is approved and more and self-written resources also lead to a faster AdSense approval. While gaining 2000 points in a day looks very fancy and nice, it doesn't in the long run and trust me, I know. I have always realised in earning points the slow and steady way. That's the fastest route to success. Hope this boosts your spirits again to post good, self-written resources everyday and earn good while having good recognition. Enjoy and have fun.

Hi,all,
I would like to inform you that I was personally guiding Manish via Google Talk & I repeatedly stressed that resource articles should be not just original, but also creative and informative as well. I pointed out that simply giving a list of good sites,too,does not make a resource article. Good sites that you come across should be put in the Bookmarks section.
Secondly,business posts,as pointed out by Lathaji,does not just mean writing 1 sentence and then copy-pasting details from the official website. This,too,I told Manish.
On seeing Manish's post, my first thought: I feel that I have failed as a mentor. So I humbly request that if any other member/Editor can guide him better, please do so.

Hi all,
Vandana, Don't get upset. Things sometimes happen just beyond our control. We all here at ISC know how you are and what you are. So don't worry. You are always best at calming others down.
Like Ankush said here, welcome to anyone who want to know things about posting and getting cash at ISC. I can help you out with some of the sections.
There is no point in just whiling away time arguing about things. We can do what is best for you and also ISC.. post and post good quality articles. They will get you cash not only from ISC but also through Adsense.
Regards
