Backend/interface for writers

Without breaching any confidentiality agreements of your current or past employers does anyone want to discuss the writers interface/s used by various companies?.

I assume most would be custom jobs?, is there anything you would like to see added or changed that would make life easier for you?

No. FU, ya talentless thief.

WB - reminds me of someone who stole a certain company's backend :)

Why don't you tell us your ideas?

Because he doesn't have a clue :)

How someone can be construed as a thief for simply asking a quesion is beyond me. Having seen the various websites and what they are lack I don't think it would be difficult to come up with something superior to what is already around. It would be nice to get some feedback from genuine writers.

You're a filthy, talentless, would-be thief. Look up "corporate/industrial espionage."


You haven't seen ANY of the legit companies, so sober up.

WritersBeware
No if I was conducting industrial espionage I would be wearing black balaclava sneaking from behind tree to tre whispering "pssst the first one to get me a copy of ze back end vill be paid ONE MILLION roubles". :D

I just looked back and in my 2 threads you have made 12 posts, none of which have been constructive or really even on topic. On the contrary most most have been either provocative or abusive. So as it appears you have no interest in either subject but to disrupt them, so I would ask you refrain posting in them.

You are the scum of the Earth. You are an utterly talentless hack who is attempting to profiteer at the expense of others' hard work. You're putrid.

I think that WB drinks.

you say it as if there's something wrong with drinking


do you think someone would be interested in composing a project specification for you?

Simple likes and dislikes would be sufficient, improvements they would like to see even better, but to be honest any straight answer would be gratefully accepted.

I think that your mother drinks, which would explain your brain damage.

What is wrong with you? Why can't you stick to the discussion. Are you deranged?

Why is mocking even here?

WB-- being angry is bad for your health. relax! have a drink.

skippy-- I bet that a company that offered its writers more perks than competitors would probably drain a lot of talent from them... and it wouldn't be difficult. of course, word would have to get around somehow.

Editor, what happened to all of your brilliant ideas that got you laughed out of town by literally EVERYONE-potential customers, writers, site owners alike? Too poor and stupid to put them into practice, I see.

they keep resurfacing, and you keep bludgeoning them. skippy here has some new ideas and an outsider's perspective, too... you've given him a similar welcome to the one you gave me.

that said, I don't know why I'm even addressing you. whether you drink alone or not is none of my business. sorry for having rattled your cage.

skippy asks questions instead of making assumptions. You two aren't really comparable at all.

WritersBeware
You are obviously a do as I say not as I do kind of gal/guy. I've been up front, remained civil, asked you nicely to keep out of my threads but you just keep coming. You now have my attention.

And? You're a would-be thief-end of story.

What did he steal?

you see, the companies, attempting to maintain the balance between facilitating their clients' requests and not treating their writers like virtual slaves bestowed with the grace of receiving the orders from them, receive hardly no attention here.

this board is majorly used for discussing the scam companies, marketing/advertising, providing support services, trolling and exchanging the compliments

skippy
btw, you may consider buying an account, it looks like now is a black friday for this type of merchandise

you should only remember: if the price is more than 5 usd, you're being ripped off.

Heck, even 9 dollars is not reasonable either.

The most common interfaces that I have seen in my capacity as a website reviewer are those that have bidding systems involved.

The system doesn't actually ask for a bid in the sense of the word but rather, it asks for justifications regarding the ability of a writer to complete a project. It turns out to be more of a job interview instead of an actual bid.

I would like to see this system changed.

I believe that the proper writer interface should allow the writer to get to know more about the student in as much as the student gets to know about the writer. In other words, if the writer is asked to submit a short resume for the student to read, then the writer should have the ability to assess the intellectual capacity of the student as well.

This would help the writer determine the correct writing level to use in his writing of the paper and also, gives the writer an opportunity to base his "bid" on the potential difficulties the student might pose as a client after the writing process is completed since that is when most of the editing and revising problems take place.

The only interfaces I've seen are virtual equivalents of traditional bulletin boards. They simply list projects with details and due dates next to tabs that allow writers to take any project on the board on a first-come/first-served basis. When I did a lot of writing for companies, I made several suggestions that they implemented. Most of them had to do with reserving customer requests for specific writers to prevent other writers from stealing them, making it easier for writers to know when new projects got posted, and helping us easily identify and distinguish the newest orders from those that had been sitting on the board for days.

It is important for companies to realize that the middle-man more often than not creates the conflicting instructions that the writer receives from the client. While the writer should still use the UI of the company to gain work, the company should loosen their grip and allow the client and writer to have more direct contact. More than just a PM service. A specially hosted VoIP would work to the writer and client's benefit in this case. By allowing the client and writer to contact each other directly, the possibility of the middle-man messing up any order related information is lessened. This will also lead to more company and writer trust on the part of the client.

There were some writing companies that loosened the reins on their writer-client interaction when AI first emerged. That is because the clients were demanding more direct contact with the writers, which led the companies to create specialized PM systems that would allow them to read, but not participate in the chat between the two. It was something that worked well for a period of time, but is now no longer important to the service as the companies also use AI to facilitate the said communication lines these days.
