I've noticed that no one has been invited for a very long time. Submissions are increasing in rate, if anything. Whats going on?

Maybe it's a lack of original content? Most submissions I've seen are just copy/pasted from other places while the rest is trivial stuff most people know.

As I've understood it they don't grant premium membership for stuff made by others. You yourself have several submissions that are straight copies of other peoples work without any acknowledgement.

We gave 3 out the other day. Its not that we are getting less invites. Its just since the site is more public now with the merger of the 2 sites more and more people think they can do a quick google guide for (insert game name) claim it as thier own and submit it for premium.

How long does it usually take for a reply? The problem is I can't read my submission after submitting it so I can't read any replies if I get them.
Can someone look at them, there's a hack in WoW and a load of exploits in GW.
Thanks.

nanotechmonkey (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE'))):

Most likely you copy pasted too much.

Just a little heads up, a buddy and I just cr@cked a 20$ bot so you can use the full final version of it for free. It's Realm bot. Now I would like it if someone else could host the file, though, as I said in my post. Thanks.

theres going to be less and less invites now cause really how much more original info is there? most has been used already since this is a very populated website, and everyone is going for the free membership

Eh not really we get lots of original content in daily. Just most people thinkt hey can copy and paste a guide and get premium haha. We might have to start being more drastic and implementing a ban for people who copy and paste guides for memberships. Its just pointless for people to waste everyones time.
