Fuyu Flowga Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I always saw news on Neopets like these... 18th May April 29th April 1st February 25th 26th January I wonder why there were always no Neopian Times published...is that means fewer and fewer people write articles that TNT couldn't create NT? Also... I finished translated my Seekers story from Chinese to English and submitted my article about Seekers on Neopian Times a few hours ago,if they won't create new Neopian Times these days...will they ignore my article?

cottontailcat Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Honestly, this is one of the last straws for me. TNT can't seem to create a decent event without major bugs, they can't put out a simple newsletter once a week, they can't communicate with us at all anymore. They seem to want to punish us with each event - harder and harder with less reward, telling us we should've done this and that differently, like a bad boss who's bitter and doesn't give enough feedback. The NT not being out AGAIN this week is making me seriously consider leaving. It did change my mind about going premium, which I was intending to do Friday on my payday. I'd like to say there should be a Neopian Times next week, but TNT has shown us that they will not meet our basic expectations time and time again. I would say there's definitely still a chance that your article will be published, but I would prepare for the possibility that it won't be. gypsyknees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Seems like they were sick last week and this week is a long weekend for them so I suppose it's bad timing. But I do agree with you that there is no excuse to not publish it each week. It appears to be something they leave to the last minute instead of taking 5 minutes each day to pick a question to answer, plus read a few of the entires, then have it ready to go (or mostly completed) for Friday. Don't give up on your article and don't stop writing!!! It will make it in there eventually and all of us here cannot wait to read it Mouseykins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of my friends who played Neopets were disppointed now. They said that is was more and more...boring. If my article won't be published,I will put it on DA. 6 hours ago, hrtbrk said: Seems like they were sick last week and this week is a long weekend for them so I suppose it's bad timing.

If you want to get into the NT I suggest maybe you wait and see if your story is accepted before posting it elsewhere. TNT may think you plagiarized it or something as it's posted elsewhere. Just something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't post my article anywhere else,however...if they won't accept my article a long time,I will give up and sumbit it on DA. In fact,I saw someone sumbit her story on DA...after her story was accepted by NT,nothing happened to her,so I decided to submit it on DA if it is on NT.

jellysundae Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 That reason for not accepting it was a bit... I can't dig the right word out of my brain; it keeps offering up obtuse but I don't think that's right. Along the right lines though maybe. If all it says it that, without indicating which is the right category... that's bureaucracy for you, right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bureaucracy is a term used more for this kind of unhelpful behaviour from local authorities and governments and so on. They're well-trained at telling you you've done something wrong - when submitting a form for something for example - but not giving any hint as to what that was, which is just what TNT did here. Well, to be fair they did say it was the wrong category, not just reject it with no reason why at all. So I was being a little unfair to them in my judgment. But hopefully submitting as a story will be right and you'll get accepted this time around. Good luck! Angeló 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
