Default Stricter standards for essay submission?
 
I submitted essays for riches about 4-5 months ago for a membership and everything was tickety-boo - now, I'm submitting essays of the same quality, length and level, yet they're being rejected. I've made sure they're in .doc format, so what could be the issue?

That happened to me - some were getting rejected, others accepted even though they were of a similar quality
Then when I looked back a couple of months later they had been accepted after all! Odd!

Edit: When I asked mod about it they said: It could be for several reason including them being too short, appearing incomplete or having missing info that would be required for the essay to be useful (such as images, tables, references or appendices).

Oh, okay. Thanks for asking.

They've been approved now as well. Maybe they reject them and only review and then re-approve ones that are worthy enough? It seems a strange enough modus operandi to me though.

Yesterday we've noticed a little issue affecting people who upload essays to Coursework.Info via TSR.

The probably does not actually affect the essays being accepted, nor does it stop people from getting riches for the essays.

However it does seem to tell you that your essays have rejected immedately after you upload them.

We have reported the problem and hopefully it will be looked in to soon to avoid any confusion.

If someone does upload essays and gets this message, please wait a few days to see if it changes/you get your riches. We do aim to have all essays validated within 24 hours. We've recently been experiences a large number of essays being uploaded at a time when we've had reduced capacity to validate essays due to holiday time. However, I believe we've caught up again now and so shouldn't take more than a couple of days for essays to be validated.

So if after 3 or 4 days you've not seen any riches, the please post in 'Ask a Moderator' to let us know and we'll take a look in to it to see what is wrong.
