Well, thanks for the responses. Guess I'll keep looking. Does anyone know what it means if a website's address ends in .us instead of .com or .org or something? Is that a bad sign? I saw something saying it means its in the USA but does that matter for an online company?

Obviously I kind of share your viewpoint or i wouldn't have asked my question to start with, but I'm not sure if calling it pathetic is fair. The site looked pretty good over all, except for the banner at the top of the homepage.

To me free hosting is smart and I want a smart writer, plus all the companies that people on here say rip people off don't have godaddy ads, so whether or not one is there can't mean too much, can it?

Don't get me wrong, i see what you're saying. I just think there could be some good honest writers out there working free lance.

But since I'd have to go through them one at a time, i guess anything that seems unprofessional or any other warning sign can help me narrow it down. Guess what I'm saying is they might be great for all we know, but you have a point because i have to look for warning signs to narrow down my options and take less of a chance.

Thanks again to everyone who is replying.

Was it a website you found or just a member on here? I'm searching hard for reliable help.

I just found this place recently and i got replies to my questions, but i didn't put up a second post 22 minutes after the first one complaining that nobody responded

you can't be impatient when your asking strangers for help, it just doesn't make sense

Ha ha! What?

EssayScam exists to help students, other essay-writing companies, and academic freelance writers by discussing their experiences with writing sites, freelance writers, and students (their clients) to improve their services.

great response, except i never said i know how things work better than you do...and who are you quoting, i never said anything about "completely unbiased reviews" so i'm assuming that's from somewhere on this site, but it's kind of pointless to quote that small phrase so out of context...i don't know why you have to try and start a fight

plus your quote from the rules says i can't advertise and obviously i wasn't going to be doing that, all i ever talked about was sharing my experiences after trying some out...if i'm not supposed to discuss my personal experiences then why does it say on the very first page, in the very first FAQ, that that's exactly what i'm supposed to do?

plus you seem to have given your opinion about many sites on here...honestly what's the difference?

the only relevance the rule you quoted has to this thread is that the mods are the ones who have to determine whether something is a review or an ad, and that if they determine its an ad i might be suspended

first of all, the fact that the rule is there seems to imply there's a difference between a review and an advertisement (especially since one is encouraged and the other is not allowed), but its just that the mods have to decide what's what and we could get suspended depending on how they interpret something

second, if i do get suspended then that's just what'll happen to me, and it doesn't really affect you either way

third, i may not have been signed up here as long as you but i've been reading the site for longer than i've been posting and it doesn't take long to figure out that you are only here to disrupt the who purpose of this site...you take all the threads in a different direction and get people frustrated whenever they try to talk about something relevant...the stated purpose of this site is so we can discuss our experiences, yet you tell everyone that it is against the rules, so basically you're going around telling people that they can do anything on this site except for its intended purpose..seems like the mods would suspend you for that!

This is my one response to you WritersBeware, i have already seen you do this same thing to other people and i've seen them prove you wrong...i think i have summarized here all my points in favor of what i'm saying and against what you're saying...i'm sure you'll respond, but i doubt you'll actually respond to the points i make...you usually just quote little pieces here and there and make nonsensical objections

everyone, isn't it obvious that WritersBeware is a liar? WB tells us constantly that we aren't allowed to do certain things here that truly are not against the rules...on the other hand, such things are encouraged and are the stated purpose of this site!

Pheelyks contacted me through PM and tried to tell me the same thing...he also tried soliciting this way, hoping to make some money off me but i'd rather go with someone who can understand simple rules and not lie about them

so, this will be my one and only response to you WB, as its obvious to anyone, whether they've been here "10 minutes" like me or have been lying on here for years like you

people, the ONLY way to solve the WB problem is to completely ignore WB's posts...if WB posts in your thread, do not argue, that's what WB wants...just ignore it....when you want to respond in a thread that WB has already posted in, just ignore his post and stick with the relevant information

i'm not wasting my time trying to make nice with WB and then make my point, that's obviously impossible....in this thread alone WB has lied to me and made fun of me for believing the truth

Yep, which isn't quite true. You also said i could contact you for advice, and then you later explained that you contacted me because i needed help and that you, as a writer, could help...so basically you PMed me to offer the "advice" that you cuold take my order..i will admit that you seemed nice at first, but then you treated me like an idiot for not immediately agreeing with you, which is never a good sign...plus it kind of seems like you were breaking the same rule that you were telling me not to break...the rule covers the PMs too, and you did contact me through PM to advertise yourself


I agree, but he contacted me first so he seems kind of like a hypocrit.


well, why would i tell someone about my favorite restaurant that just opened? it's so that they'll go and the place can stay in business and i can keep eating there...i guess i could try to get people to go eat at the places i hate so there won't be so many people at the one i like, but if i was actually successful then my favorite restaurant would go out of business while the ones i hate would be doing well...of course i won't make or break any business myself, but you can see the principle here...plus, the whole point of sharing information with others is that they might find my info useful and i might find theirs useful, so even if they go try the site i tell them about i might go try the site they tell me about and we can each pick which one we like better

nobody even considered that i wasn't planning on sharing my experiences here in the forum (even though sharing our experiences with essay writing companies is the stated purpose for the site's existence)....maybe i was going to stop at the second post and only share my experiences with those who contacted me for advice...and don't say this is advertising through the PMs because that would be letting them contact me first, not me contacting them first with my 'advice' like pheelyks did with me

but once again, if i want to share my experiences here, i can...and i could share my experiences without mentioning who the positive ones were with...plus let's remember something important: just because i have a good experience with a company doesn't mean somebody else will, so saying that example.com did a good job on my order is not the same as a recommending them or saying they'll do a good job on somebody else's order...just because we both order from example.com doesn't even mean we'll get the same writer

of course the mods can interpret it that way if they like and they have every right to, but i'm assuming the mods are competent to do their jobs correctly and don't need random forum members trying to play mod for them

Actually, here's a direct quote from an email you sent, referring back to when you contacted me through PM: "I contacted you because you said you needed help and, as a writer, I can provide that help."


you brought it up, i responded, you responded, etc., i don't see how what i did is different from what you did


at least i backed up my point instead of attacking and insulting...how many times have you called me an idiot and a b**-h now? how many times have i used any such words for you? if you can't argue a point any better than that then how good a paper-writer can you be? you are absolutely pathetic and its sad that some people turn to someone like you...i may have come here looking for help on a paper, but i know i can find someone who can put together an argument better than you, just about anyone could....

once again everyone, let's take a look at the situation...i'm somebody who came here looking for someone to write my paper....pheelyks is someone who is here because he writes papers for money....pheelyks can't even put together an argument to support his point as well as i can...he has to resort to calling me names and lying when faced with me backing up what i say

i won't stir things up at this particular time by makign a positive recommendation for anyone, but i think anyone with half a brain can see that pheelyks has shown right here that he doesn't have the same skills that are involved in writing papers, which are just a matter of making a point and supporting it in ways that make sense, which pheelyks is obviously very poor at

"Custom papers" vs. "Custom essays"

Do you guys think i should pay any attention to whether a site claims to offer "custom paper writing" vs "custom essay writing"? i know theyre basically technically the same because one definition of "paper" is "essay", but that doesn't mean that people in general couldn't use them a little differently....

so, is it just a regional thing or do guys think some writers mean something different when they say paper and essay?
do you guys use them the same way?
i guess the only difference i might think of is that with paper i think research paper but with essay i might think of other options as well, as in essay being more general, but maybe that's just me and maybe it doesn't even make sense
