Thank you for your reasoned response, Casey.
Just to be clear, I am not banning comment about opportunities posted here, simply asking members to exercise restraint before posting knee-jerk reactions to low payment rates.
The type of comment I would prefer to see concerns any experiences, good or bad, members have had when applying for a particular opportunity. In general, I think it is patronising to assume that our members need to have opportunities posted here interpreted or explained to them. However, if you have genuine reason for concern about an item, please notify the moderators, who will investigate.
I would also ask everyone to bear in mind that MWC is an open forum that operates on a shoestring budget with no paid staff. If we allow abusive comments or unsubstantiated allegations to be published here, not only will it deter others from posting, we could lay ourselves open to legal action. We do have to proceed with caution, therefore.
As regards the current opportunity, while article rewriting may not be to everyone's taste, it is common in the world of Internet marketing. There is nothing illegal about it, and Missionlanding have actually set out with admirable clarity what the opportunity involves and what the remuneration will be. Members can either apply or not, as they see fit.
I feel that further discussion of this issue would not be productive, so I am locking this topic now.
Nick
