Finished Contests - No response. HELP

There are two contests that were over the last month. They haven't been updated at all and the payments are still pending. I have sent many PM's to the Thread Starters with no response.

What can be done to get them update the threads and complete the monetary payments.


The Threads are below

1. PaulaSmiles

Not alot, sometimes the contest holder decides they no longer need the logo and runs. I would reccomend trying to get them to award a smaller payment for the wasted time, I know you should get full payment but meh!

 

The contest was about posting. That's all.

Of them 1 has high Trader Rating. I checked their profiles and shows Last Online - Today.

 

Paula had sold that site AFAIK, but she still kept her word on the posts after she sold the site.

As for some of the winners in contest 1, wasn't there something which specified that the post should be unique and not ripped from other sites??? Some of the posts appear to be blatantly copied, no effort even to reword.

 

I got paid for posts till 9th Jan. She told me that the thread would be updated the weekend[she was busy] and since then nothing was done.

 

We'd wait for Paula to come and clarify her stand. The site was sold sometime in Jan AFAIK

IMO, if I was Paula, some of the contest winners would never have been paid, because some of the article are pure rip offs, no attempt made to originally do something.

 

How could I hook up with the other member [ Arkserver ]. The contest finished 2 days ago and no response from him for my PM's.

 

Here is a screenshot of the PM from PaulaSmiles.

 

There's nothing any mod can do about this.

 

I presume a Negative Rep would atleast insist them to update the thread.
