I’ve been receiving a lot of posts recently, from spammers hoping to have their articles posted on the site through the automated guest-blogging feature. I don’t know if this is done by bots or actual people but I do know that this is not acceptable. So unfortunately I have no choice but to stop registrations for contributors.
Anyone can still be registered as a subscriber though, which will allow basic privileges such as file downloads at the downloads section of the website. If you would like to submit a guest-post, leave a message on the contact me page and I’ll get back to you.
Thanks!
You mean those who are registered to your website, have started posting articles without your permission ? :S
I enabled registration with posting privileges for people who wanted to guest-post:

But many have been contributing articles irrelevant to my niche, which I consider SPAM. They were also not abiding by the guidelines of article submissions so clearly they were just spammers trying to get a quick backlink. What a bunch of a$$holes. Anyway, I’ve disabled such privileges so now people who register will not be able to submit articles. Anyone who wants to guest-post will have to contact me directly (reverting back to manual submission).
Sorry to hear that.
It’s fine. Problem solved.
Yes, it is true that people do not understand the difference between spam and guest blog. Guest blogging is not an automated thing and it must be done to increase the reputation of the site.
