exwriter-- honestly, and don't take this the wrong way, but **** what you think it means to be a serious writer. I am a published author, which I'm very serious about. when I am doing other people's homework for money... not so serious. there's no pride to either get in the way or cause other problems for term-paper mills-- this is about money. I am not fine with people coming along and using my work, and I'm not sure why you assume this. I have shut down several websites posting my papers without permission, using lawyers. to me, the "whole point of the university" was to party and have fun, and I'm sorry for you for being so ******* earnest, supercilious, and stick in the mud about your personal ethics. I find it sort of funny, actually, since this industry is an ethical minefield in the first place, and you're taking even one step... what does your name mean, again?

everyone always forgets Korea. anyway, you can get behind the idea of taking down turnitin.com from any perspective. from teaching, it is an invasive grading system-- maybe I want to give someone an A; it should be up to me, not some software. from hack term paper writing, yes, it's all about turnover and quantity for money, not having OCD and driving myself crazy doing 15 of the exact same paper on healthcare administration. spare me your moral outrage. so, turnitin.com messes me up there. from a cheating student, it's obvious-- turnitin.com is the enemy, an invasive force of the ******** who try to make school as miserable as possible. we need to unite and find a way to detach and sink its entire system.

someone needs to find a professor with a password, and then contact a hacker.

asif, have you been taking ESL lessons like I recommended? your English is improving!

I plagiarize my own work, like John Fogerty.

I can only hope turnitin.com will be brought down-- I am convinced it is bad for writers as well as students.

jmho; in defense, I would throw up the idea of turnitin's power as a force of deterrence.

do you know any hackers, though? I bet it would be really complicated to take down the whole system. I hear you have to have a teacher ID to access the real one.

turnitin.com is the enemy of all writers-- any writers who are also hackers, or who know hackers, take note!

Oxford and Cambridge are both status names. people open businesses under status names all the time. if I want to call an essay company Oxford Essays or Princeton Essays, it's about the target market thinking, "smart." it's totally different from putting "all of our employees are Oxford grads" on the web copy. that's false advertising. the company name is just cachet.

if I opened "Paradise Plumbing," I'm sure people like asif would have a fit. "I called Paradise Plumbing expecting to speak to God directly!" hey asif, how about a little levity? how about taking life, and yourself, a little less seriously?

go for it! I'm a teacher too. it's OK to be a bad cop. give in to the dark side!

as a parting gift, here is a square of toilet paper to dry your tears.

none of your business! But on a positive note, most professional services online have taken a downturn. Academic writing is not an exception, but I hope it will recover slowly.

<--- published author

I'm not here to defend my writing skills anyway; I feel like an ******* getting baited into it.

I'm here to point out that what you are doing, exwriter, is pointless, annoying, and far from a favor to your friend. you are a true backbiter.

anyway, I'll let you know once I've stolen the paper. I try to keep explaining it to you: it's not out of necessity; it's out of spite.

there are a few paper mill owners posting on this site (some more transparent than others), with their own interests in mind. I agree with you there. sorry, though; I don't agree that it makes the entire site useless. it's like boycotting my local library because I don't like some of the magazines it carries. maybe that's logical to you...

as to who I am, I'm a freelance writer. I write for a bunch of different companies, and I'm not very loyal to any of them. I don't have any vested interests, or grudges that aren't warranted. I am neither a business owner, nor a propagandist.

one more thing, asif: if you're going to get personal about my writing skills, I would thank you you to take a few ESL lessons first. you don't want to look like a clown, I'm sure.

if you distrust and revile the site so, the easiest solution would be to stop posting on it, wouldn't it?

"youth is wasted on the young."

right, those decent, law-abiding term-paper mills are a dime a dozen.

ffs, WB, don't you realize? have you ever actually worked in this industry?

lately academia-research.com has been getting real sketchy with me. their behavior of late is the same as that of essaywriters.net was, just before I quit. with both places, I had been there a few years, had achieved premium status, had no late orders, etc. then, they started fining me more (with EW it was 200%, with AR it was more like, they tried 70%, and I yelled at them, and they stopped). now, AR has starting "disappearing" papers from my account. the worst thing is that when I contact them at their Order or Review emails (noted above for their reasonable tendencies), they just ignore me, and tell me they can't help me.

(sigh). bigmouth strikes again. I'm sorry to everyone I told to work for AR; I take it back!

you're delighted that someone finds you annoying? why doesn't that surprise me?

it's a lonely world for a tattle-tale.

I don't like seeing a very detailed outline and/or notes telling me exactly what to write.

if you know so much about what the paper should say, ffs, say it.

also, those orders that just say, "see attached file," and you look, and there's no file-- hopeless!

they either can't do it, or they won't.

you're such an annoying little tattle-tale... and it's not even your paper!

again: paraphrase, hell. I'm going to steal your friend's paper and use it for my next law assignment on negligence. it's not because I can't write this kind of drudgery with my eyes closed. it's to make you feel stupid for posting it.

anyway, as EW and I have both pointed out for you, your friend's essay can still be used. that's the main point. and as long as you have it posted here, I'm going to be using it. I hope that others will, too. as I'm sure that you'll continue to believe that you've pulled quite a fancy little trick here, ******* on everyone's parade.

as to my reputation, it may very well, as you say, disappear down the pan as a result of this. my integrity and honor as a professional accessory to idiots, right down the... pan.

AR fines for a couple of different things-- late orders, last minute revision reassignments, plagiarism, repetition, etc. it seems like a really ****** system from this angle, since it virtually always catches stuff that isn't really plagiarism, gets dates wrong for lateness, etc. if you don't stand up for yourself and call their mistakes, or if you are really ******* up your orders, I imagine that the fines could get annoying. from their view, though, it's just more money pouring in. greedy *********. but, as a writer, you have to make the best of it.

paraphrase, hell. I'm rolling the dice.

Cassandra-- np. you can email them at order@academia-research.com or review@academia-research.com; sorry I didn't put those before, but I couldn't remember them.

I forgot to mention Premium in my other post, too. that is the fourth thing. try to make Premium asap, because it makes the AR experience tons better. you get paid more. also, you don't have to bid and get turned down; you can just take any orders you want. just draw administration's attention to it in the order message boards, whenever a customer thanks you, and tell them to give you a reward point. I was misleading before; administration in the order messages are good for some stuff. sorry about that. I basically just meant, because they're called admin, don't think they have much power.

it could also be that they, or their software system, really made a mistake in assigning you the 70 page papaer. the AR system is full of bugs, and often screws up things like whether an order is late or not, etc. if you tell them at the two emails above about it, though, they usually realize that it was just a computer error and apologize, reduce the fine, etc. well, actually, they don't apologize. but they act fairly reasonably.

don't worry about not getting bids; it is still super slow. wait till the waves start breaking in about a month.

way to alienate a fellow newbie.

exwriter-- I'm glad this ******* static-starting newbie took up this necro thread, because now I will let you know, once I've plagiarized and used your friend's essay here to make some money, since I know you're listening. I'm pretty sure I can lift most of the middle, and not get caught. thanks!

necro,

but because I write for that company, am honest in my posts, could have bid on that ******* order, and I'm not a lying rat who posts my papers online just to trip up other writers, I feel that I'm part of a commonality w/writers, not a competition with them.

help a friend, yeah right. they were trying to **** the order for the next guy down the line.

hello Cassandra. I have worked for academia-research.com for a few years now. I am a Premium writer, but I also get very mad at them sometimes. I guess their business culture in relation to the employee is totally ****** or something. they communicate like total idiots, but there is a method to it, and they can usually be reasoned with.

here are some lessons I've learned:

1. if you don't want them to assign you orders, there is a thing on your profile that you can change. you have to be careful, because it will expire, and then go back to accepting random assignments they try to give you. assigned orders that you don't want is one of the most annoying things, at first, about working for AR-- but you can stop it easily, just turn off the thing in your profile. I actually find it useful now to leave it on, because it lets repeat customers get to me during the down season.

2. don't communicate with "administration" in the order messages-- they can never do anything like reverse fines, lower fines, etc. don't even bother with them. they can barely speak English; who knows why they're there. email the order or service emails directly with the order number and complaint.

3. if they ever try anything especially stripey with you, email order or service, and tell them that you cannot accept any more orders until your complaint is addressed. I just got them down from a $20 to a $5 fine by threatening to withhold work like this, earlier today.

good luck!

writers need to get together and mass email all companies that fine them, regardless of their status or seniority. we need to tell them that we will not be fined without attendant rewards, and that we will withhold work until they meet our demands.

who are these ducks to constantly fine their own talent? they are backbiters who take extra advantage of us and never give us anything extra back.

how do you feel about yourselves, to be taking and not giving?

indiscriminate or discriminate; it doesn't matter. how can one claim that any financial punishments shouldn't be accompanied and balanced by attendant financial rewards?

if you are a writer, and if your company is penalizing you for bad performance, whether they are being brazen about it or not, they should also be rewarding you for good performance. opposite angles should be equal. it is as simple a motivational tool as there is, and it keeps writers satisfied, motivated, and, most importantly, loyal.

writers, if they are fining you at all, you should email them and demand your attendant reward.

if you sort of speak a language, but not really, it is pure, foolish pride to try to claim that language as a tool of deception.

where is the CNN intern when you need them?

also-- someone obviously doesn't realize that plagiarism detection side-use of databases actually just winds up hurting the writer. I would like to find a hacker to bring down turnitin.com. it is a greedy business to be double dealing in, when it basically ***** your employees. why don't you get with it, and start ******* the customers?

someone contact the moderator; this is obviously an emergency.

morning news, right, this will never make it. they sent some retard intern on an errand, and aren't we all in a tizzy.

PS-- don't do it!

although I am very photogenic, I will not be participating.

if you really want action, you should pay someone to hack them, or hack them yourself, or move to Ukraine and establish yourself with their local mafia rivals.

remember: when the time comes, act.

I wasn't addressing you.
