			<dc:creator>ethyl</dc:creator>
			<description>Hi I'm Ethel. Joined Helium.com a month ago. Posting articles on-line is new to me. 



I have a question for anyone. I write dialogue because it makes a story a little more interesting. To be done properly each person speaking goes on a different line. It does makes the story longer and the writing rules don't seem to apply at Helium. What's the answer? Anyone have a suggestion?

			<description>For those interested in Helium in either a positive or negative way, this discussion on the Helium boards is interesting to say the least.



An alternate proposal to promote rating as well as writing



I think it's especially interesting for those that aren't perhaps that active around Helium and I'm aware this is a small part of a wider issue that's being pondered by the Helium staff.



I do have my own thoughts on this and will post later, but it'd be nice to swee what you guys think and  ...</description>

			<description>I only returned to the site today after staying clear because of the churning competition. Now that it's over, I thought it might make the site a little better - the people with writing integrity might have returned to the site. However, having gone to rate, it took me about 2 mins to use up all my 'skips' during which time, I was given two article pairs that fell under topics that I was interested in and about 15 debate topics that held no interest or relevance to me whatsoever.

Yet in the same category another posted review I had done was 3000 over...Who's kidding who Helium.

			<description>There will be a new feature introduced this week on the flagging mechanism which gives raters a chance to leave feedback for items that they flag other than serious plagiarism which will still be dealt with in house. For the moment, the box you can leave feedback in is very small but this is to be modified at a later date. Your member name will be shown on flags to other members and it's a try out to see how well it works.</description>

			<dc:creator>Thingywhatsit</dc:creator>
			<description>From my experience of Ciao, Dooyoo and Helium, I would say that the daily submission rate on Helium is larger than either of the other sites. That doesn't always reflect quality and I would love to see stats introduced so that members who post loads of articles equally rate others, and read around the site. Stats would also give members a better idea of which articles were read how many times without the guesswork.</description>

			<description>Had an odd one today. I had submitted a 220 word article about the origins of Beltane, very topical with May fast approaching. It explained the outline of the festival and also the origin of the name. It was quite brief considering what I could have written but as a guide I thought it was a good enough starting point for information. It was rejected for being an undeveloped idea. That would be fine if the standards were being raised through out. Also today I was looking through the positions  ...</description>

			<description>Blimey! I never thought that would happen!  Haven't written for over a week because we were away and now I'm really chuffed!



It's not the best bit of writing I've ever done, seeing as I was churning out loads of articles for the competition.



Now I feel all fired up to jump in again - although trying to keep in with Thingy would be impossible!   



Dammit - I have to go into work this afternoon and now there's loads I want to write! </description>

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but I for one am spending less and less time there as there are so many threads started mainly by very right wing, republican pro war, &quot;Bush is God&quot; types.

			<description>So I joined Helium about a week ago, and posted a review the first day. I then rated about 30 or so other reviews before getting bored (because only about 3 different topics came up for me to rate) and leaving. The next day there was $0.01 in my account. Since then I have posted pretty much a review a day, and rated 15 or so each time, but there is still only that first $0.01 in my account .... Have I missed something important?</description>

			<description>Since we have never allowed links in the ciao/dooyoo areas of the site, members objected to the inconsistency of allowing links for Helium members who stand to gain financially from these links. If members genuinely want feedback on their articles, I would ask that they open a thread and paste the article, rather than the link, over for feedback. Once feedback has been gained, I shall close the thread. This way, we are able to help those members that genuinely want the feedback that Helium does  ...</description>
