I was thinking rules and guildelines should have versions in other languages, especially from the countries with the higher violators so they will understand the rules better.

I don't think this will help because they are posting in the English language, and they should easily understand what is written in the guidelines and rules.

One very good way that a site can survive is to try to filter out the spam messages while also only paying as they earn.

Yes quality here is very important,because the participant,once they keep giving out good content,they will be atracting more audience aside the pay.

It will because their deficiency in English language wont stop them from joining anyway. So they might as well learn the rules on their language.

Understood. Maybe there should not some English test before joining a site in order to check poster's ability to use English.

Postloop did that but that leads to them blocking members with potential just because of some minor grammar mistakes. They end up with bland writers who dont know what they talk about with good grammar.

[Mika]

I was not on Postloop, so I can't speak about this site. But you make an interesting point, and I agree. Someone with good English does not mean he is a good content creator. I have seen a lot of native speakers create poor content.

I think that a paid to post site will only survive well if the owner makes good plans at the beginning. For example, they should set a payment rate that is reasonable. You realise that most of those sites that go down start at very high rates yet they have to pay from their pockets.

Another way they get their money is by the ads most outfits placed on their forum,and this is what they use to do payment.

Good grammar but reading their content is as fun as watching an iceberg melt. Like those ABC challenge writers in Bubblews back then.

Most paid per post sites are prone to spammers. This will dampen the site reputation and lead to down fall of viewers. Unless strict measures are taken into consideration, i doubt they could survive

[Tyrim88]

Surely, a paid to post site would survive if it adopts the same policies of ForumCoin. Or BMF. These forums are long lasting, they don't change their policies every once in a while. Some users complain about FC low paying rate, but there aren't changes every once in a while. The pay rate is consistent year by year. All forums that began with high paying rate, ended up cutting it very soon as Bizdustry and Trendri did. Others got scram or scam.

One way that forum can actually meet up,would be when they have lots of ads coming in from busneses and various outfit.

[Netherrealmer]

And you know what get ads? Advertiser friend posts, this is the reason why we discourage one liners and plagiarism because we cant lose ads because of them.

[Tyrim88]

They are from ads, traffic exchange, sponsors, many more but it is really hard to at beginning of the site need to wait some time for earnings

What i have observed is that for them to be in the space for longer period,they usually get their money to pay participants through paid ads from outfits.

Site owners should really focus on spammers. They are the ones who makes the forum to experience problems. So there should be moderators to check on spamming strictly.

Paid to post sites survive if they maintain a regular pay rate. The idea of being generous at first just to attract members isn't really good in my opinion. What it does is open your site to an influx of members. Some will post genuinely with quality. Others would just spam. Creating a balance right from the start is key.

[Mika]

It not only about how the site pays, it is also about how the site earn. If the site is not earning consistently, how can it pay its members consistently.

[Netherrealmer]

The owner must have complete control of the members. Violators, Plagiarist and spammers can kill a community very fast. That is why I encourage people to neg repetitive posts.

That is where strict rules need to come in place,because content is very important to the number of persons that will be coming into the forum.

[Netherrealmer]

It not only about how the site pays, it is also about how the site earn. If the site is not earning consistently, how can it pay its members consistently.

Also members should consider the quality of their posts because their low quality post can get the site demonetized from adsense. It happened to persona paper where most members are into generic surveys.

That is very true,bevause ones an administrator does not have full control,then the forum will loss its essence.
