Beware Of PostLoop

[SpeakWhatsReal]

I shouldn't even make this topic because they will get publicity nonetheless, but here I go.

I signed up because I wanted to help post loop out and get some active users on my new forum..

First step you have to do is sign up and go make 10 Quality posts at the PostLoop Portal forum http://portal.postloop.com/index.php (Which is infested with ads). Once you make 10 Quality posts here, they will review your account to see if you're in good standards.. Okay, well I made 10 quality posts, they all got denied and here is the proof:
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6677/capturevqo.png. Then after that, you need to make 10 more quality posts. Well I did that as well, now I am a total of over 22 Quality posts. And as you see in my screenshot it says my account got closed because I "Copied" a post or something, which is untrue.. I went to go view my posts at the postloop portal @ http://portal.postloop.com/index.php?se ... er_id=9666 and it says "Results not found" so they must have deleted all my posts. What a rip off and a waste of time! I never copied nothing or anything.....


Also, I was trying to add my forum to the postloop before this, and there was no option for "Custom Software"

So I emailed them about this and got this response:

Okay, so the point of this topic is that I spent over 2hours writing quality posts on there ad infested "Postloop Portal" probably earning them some cashflow doing so. (Nothing wrong with that, just saying) then I get denied and told to make 10 more quality posts. So I do that, and then I not only get denied, they made some random half *** assumption that I copied my posts? It's pretty sad how a great niche like postloop has to be run by people who have no idea what they're doing.

Now I am not saying, don't go join them because of this little rant I made. It's a great niche, but your time is more valuable then theirs.

Now it get's even better....... They told me they do not support custom software right after my account got closed remember?

Wonder Why? Because look at our conversations a couple months ago.

I have no idea what's going on but why in the world would you want to accept a forum based on it's software? That's irrelevant and a scapegoat out of responsibility. The forum should only matter about users and content. Like I said, it's sad when a great niche comes out and is run by people that have no idea what they're doing. I would like my 2hours back I gave you from posting on your ad infested forum. It's sad when you see the love of money get in the way of a great niche business. Pretty sickening. You might be thinking well "Stop crying SpeakWhatsReal" they only want "high quality" posts, and you didn't make it, too bad! That's wrong, my last 10 posts I made were extremely high quality and dedicated and not just 2-3 sentences long..


edit: PostLoop is dead to me now, but I just wanted to share my experience because I love Forum Promotion and I don't want any others to go through the same crap I went through. Stay away from this business, your time is more important then all those "Success Stories" posted at the PostLoop forum, trust me. It's not worth it. Remember, a active posting community > money.

To be honest Postloop is a waste of space.
I dislike getting visitors registering and making 5-20 posts and leaving and never being active again.

 

[terryh]

lol. I never liked PostLoop. I still have about $30 in my account which I can't withdraw. 🙁

lol. I never liked PostLoop. I still have about $30 in my account which I can't withdraw. 🙁

Why cant you ?
And postloop is a waste of money and time....if you want to get posts for your forum. I use it to get money but i also post quality posts so yeah.

I wish I could rep the 2 posts above you, but decided to just rep you instead, enjoy the extra green!

Thanks but that's the truth I mean ok at first you had quality posts from everyone now everyone quotes your posts adds some random text to be as long as possible and then just takes a lot of points for a crappy post :S

If that was your attempt to try to justify your actions, you should be ashamed of yourself. Where is my other 22 quality posts I made?

Anyone can copy and paste stuff in google and find relevance, you show no proof.

Just to let you know, you already made a bad name for yourself in the previous posts below mine, I have no idea why you would want to post here. You're just digging yourself into a deeper hole.

Also, what kind of Admin deletes users posts? You think this was a game? Everyone goes and posts on your portal just so you can earn $? No it's not, we are all posting quality post's to help you, and you turn around and screw us off like this? I see no professionalism in your post now and what you did. Seems like a pattern you represent.

You can run your little cliché business however you want, I am just warning you though the actions you have done prove that you're heading in the wrong direction. And the simple fact you are not open minded to user complaints or tried to work this issue out with me, shows you have no love or support for your own users, which is indeed like I said in my first post; pretty sad.

I really hope this is a wake up call for you... Because I believe you have potential.

edit: Regardless if that post did not count or not, It was still out of your targeted "scope". I would have had 2 other High quality posts I made to make for it anyway, since I had over 22 posts..

 

[Hotspot]

Very surprised! I was going to join up soon! I guess some things are too good to be true? XD

 

[Abu Taj al Deen]

I'm a long time member of PostLoop and honestly I'm shocked that they would throw away potentially good member when it's the whole basis of their cashflow... :/

I'm not taking sides, but Newman, I feel has showed potential as a good poster here - and I'm sure he would have done the same on your portal.
Ryan, the more members you let in, the more you expand, the more money you make. Think about these things more clearly?

 

[Ryan R]

He was not denied for low quality posts. He was denied because he copied content word for word from another website, which I showed in my previous post. This is a violation of our Terms of Use and also a major offense at Postloop, where you are getting paid to contribute your own, quality content, not copy and paste from other websites.

We have processed thousands of writers at Postloop and nearly 1,000,000 posts. I have extreme confidence in our selection process and stand by this decision 110%.

 

[Richard Hayes]

I back Ryan 100%, although I don't use it much now as no need for it. I never had an issue with the people on there because he weeded out the rubbish.

Anyone can claim that they make good quality posts but it is down to Ryan and his team to decide that. If they let in rubbish then it is their rep that takes a knock.

The only "Bad" press Postloop seem to get is from people who have been rejected. To me that only seems like a pop at them for rejecting you, in other words a case of bad eggs.

Agreed. Humans are like that in regards to everything in life whether it is websites or restaurants. People are more vocal about (what they feel are) bad experiences compared to good experiences.

The way I see this is a user copied content from other sites (1 case has been proven) and then got suspended and is annoyed that they got outsmarted and found out. I highly doubt that it was only that one post that was copied anyway. It would be very unlucky if you posted 22 times and only 1 post was copied from other websites and that post was found out to be copied. Also, on their terms page it says

Content submitted to Postloop must be original. Content may not be copied from any other website and submitted to Postloop, even if the source content is your own.

When you signed up to post loop you agreed to those terms and you have broken that term. They are well within their rights to ban/suspend you. You broke the terms you agreed to when signing up and registration was allowed on the basis of you reading and agreeing to the rules and to follow them. Ryan R has come here and justified his decision, shown what you did to break the terms of his site, you haven't denied that you did copy the content and that to me is proof that he did what is right. He did those actions to protect his site and the people that use his site honestly.

The amount of people that feel that they can sign up to any site, make up their own rules on what is allowed and always resort to public bashing when they don't get their own way is ridiculous. When you sign up to a site, it is ran how the owner wants it to be ran. If you don't like their terms and rules, don't sign up or leave the site if you decide at a later date that you don't like the terms of the site anymore. Users should not dictate what is allowed and should not tell the owner or staff of a site what they should or shouldn't do in a situation. If you get banned for not following the rules as set out by the owner or the staff of the site then you only have yourself to blame. I would have done the same in Ryan R's position and like Bricksan, I back him 100%. You can argue all you like and go on the attack as much as you like but at the end of the day, you broke the terms and got found out and your way of defence is to go on the attack and that is why you created this topic.

 

[Richard Hayes]

Awesome post Fowler, I agree what you said the topic has instead of being a put down on Postloop, has in fact shown up the OP and the fact he has come crying after breaking the terms of use on another site.

If you had not copied content then people might have been more willing to listen to your version of events but in this case you got what you deserved.

 

[master412160]

+1 to Fowler his post.

 

[Hotspot]

Content submitted to Postloop must be original. Content may not be copied from any other website and submitted to Postloop, even if the source content is your own.

A little off topic, but I think that can be a bit tricky if you have the same opinion on something. :shock:
I know my intro topics on forums are usually the same, but I never copy and paste. I think it's hard wired into my brain to say it in a certain way. :lol:

 

[Bluezone777]

What they are asking is to not go around and copy and paste from other websites that aren't your own content. Copying and pasting your OWN content isn't the same thing at least I don't think it is.

@ OP If you are going to argue something, try to ensure that there isn't something lying around that could make you look incredibly stupid. Doing so would prevent the sort of situations that come up when you post topics such as this one.

As for Postloop, I don't really care for the concept of paying for posts. I rather do things on my own then have to rely on people who are only there because they are being paid for something or they are obligated to post due to completing a package/ post exchange. I was able to make not one but two small but enjoyable communities without ever paying(in any sense of the word) for a single post.

 

[jglover4168]

To be honest I've had a pretty good experience using them.. I've got some good posts and some members who post often.. A bit spendy in my opinion but anything helps to get a forum off the ground!

No, you're wrong. I was disqualified my first time for low quality posts when I first submitted my first 10 posts, (That post you said I copied, was post #22 or something, way after) don't try to say that I was not denied for that. Stop spreading false information it get's annoying. I don't care how bad you try to scapegoat around your companies loopholes, but I find it pretty humorous to say the least. You know you were in the wrong and just wanted users to keep posting on your Postloop "Ad Infested" portal, to earn some revenue.

You should read tim 6:10

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

I wonder what this topic brings to you? I know some type of small grief. I still deserve a apology, 3hours for posting on your portal, my account should be accepted and I want you to show all of my high quality posts before the "Copied" (#22) post you said I did. So the world on FP can see the true facts, you closed my account because you wanted me to keep posting on your ad-infested Portal.

You showing a screenshot of another site with 10 words the same as my post, which that was posted under my username, shows no proof of nothing. You don't know if that content on the other site was my sisters, any family members, friends or if I did have permission or not to copy it. You can't prove nothing by a screenshot or "Posts", so I love how you try to scapegoat your facts into a believable law "enforcement" type sting operation you push on other people. What's next, you're going to sue me?

And @ Fowler, I am not even going to reply to you, because you will probably delete my post, sorry.

edit2: I didn't even join PostLoop to earn money, you really think earning 5$ for hours of posting is a good investment? I joined so I can earn members on the forum that I was going to use. Like I said, Members > money.

Edit3: You do realize that "Copied" post you said was past post #22, which would be passed the 10 post increment postings to be eligible for approval right? So even if I posted porn in that post, it shouldn't of counted since, every 10 posts is what get's read and approved right? Theres another company loophole spotted out like a hawk, get where I am going? what's 10+10? = 20, Only should be approving/looking at post's before post #20 am I right?

So, please I am waiting for your next excuse.

Read the terms of postloop again... or look at the quote which i quoted in my last post.

Content submitted to Postloop must be original. Content may not be copied from any other website and submitted to Postloop, even if the source content is your own.

It doesn't say that you can copy posts aslong as they are outside the 10 required posts. The terms says "Content submitted to postloop" which means all content whether it is your first post or your 22nd.

And @ Fowler, I am not even going to reply to you, because you will probably delete my post, sorry.

Have you read the boardwide guidelines here? If you have then you would see why we deleted the post you are referring to and we have not acted in a way against our boardwide guidelines here. Have we deleted this topic or any of your posts in this topic? Your PM telling me to not delete this topic would have had no effect in any decision in case you are wondering.

If you learn to follow the guidelines/terms of sites you use, you will find that you encounter less problems with getting suspended on sites and getting posts deleted. The terms of each site tells you how to behave and you don't decide on how to behave. PostLoop is not your site and neither is this place so therefore follow the rules as stated by the people that run each site. You can keep trying to argue your way out of this but really you are not getting anywhere as you were in the wrong and I am sure people are getting fed up of you acting anyway you feel is right. I certainly am.
