does the three strikes rule still apply...

The first two works I've submitted were approved without a hitch, but then the third one was rejected twice. I'm afraid of submitting another one. Will I be suspended if another article I write gets denied?

How severe are the errors? The rule is fairly subjective. If the second rejection was for something minor like a typo or misplaced comma that's easily corrected, I'd make the change, double check everything, and wouldn't sweat it too much. On the other hand, if the rejection was for severe issues with grammar, clarity, and organization, I'd take my time on the article, going over everything word by word, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph.

Hi Celeste

I thought I went over it, but apparently some of the errors still got through my proofreading. The second feedback from CC stated that the errors on the first try was still uncorrected. Mostly tense shift. I think I'll just type another article and let this one go, I'm pretty paranoid now. Thanks for the reply.
