Constant Content

Is it true that you can get "kicked out of" Constant Content for three rejections or something? This is something I keep hearing, but I can't find anything about it in the guidelines. Can someone either confirm, deny or clarify this for me?

You'll find this in the Writer Application page at http://www.constant-content.com/area/registerauthor.htm - third paragraph.

"I understand that Constant Content reserves the rights to decline any work they feel does not meet their requirements. I am welcome to submit other work for approval even if one article has been declined. However, I understand that, if three articles are declined, Constant Content will accept no more submissions of my work."

There are some writers, however, whose accounts have been suspended after only 1 submission. The CC editors have deemed their work not up to CC standards. Read the guidelines and make sure your first submission meets those guidelines.

The thing is, I've already HAD more than three articles "declined" (sent back for re-writes). Is there a difference between being sent back for corrections, and being declined?

I've had more than 3 rejections too -- mostly for minor things like a misplaced comma, a typo, or some other silly mistake. However, I believe the CC editors don't count minor errors or slips in the 3-strikes-and-you're-out rule. If they see that you have potential and you're generally submitting good articles, you shouldn't worry about getting banned. It's when you consistently make the same mistakes in your submissions that could get your account suspended.

It's more like a "we reserve the right to refuse service" rule. Have I had more than three articles rejected? Yes! Some have been "no thanks" and others have been "change this." I believe it's really up to CC's discretion and that they are looking at the overall ability, not the individual error counts.
