This is the message I have received from SizeOfPaper.
"Once again we have had to withhold payments for a while as there has been more people cheating and more problems caused. If you have requested payment from us then we have received your request and you will be paid once we have checked your account and made sure there is no cheating happening.
We understand that this is an innconvenience to most of you but we have to do this to ensure the survival of Size Of Paper. "
What do you think of it???

I am new to these sites, but that sounds fishy to me... I have tried to sign up with them but have been unable to get through the registration, it may be possible that they are having difficulties, but I am now very glad that I didnt get in just yet if they are having problems.
I know alot of people on here have discussed size of paper, and I have been very curious about it, but I will continue to see what people say about it before I try to join there now. thanks for the information.

that is what I have been doing, if someone talks about a site and several others responde in positive of how much they like the site or how much they have earned, then I figure it must be a good site... and then look into it...good luck!!

Once again more accusations of my forum saying its a scam. I have just had to hire 3 new moderators who on their first day have found 15 accounts which have been cheating and we have had to ban them, one of those accounts had requested a payout. There is over $300 worth of payout requests at the moment and im not doing a single payout until we have gone through all members and made sure there is no cheating. We have already done a few payouts to people who later we have found are cheaters and i do not plan for that to happen again.
People who have been at SoP since the start will know i had to withold payments before to stop cheaters and after a week i did all payouts, the same thing is happening now. You will get your payments once i have finished going through the site.

You can't blame people for thinking it's a scam. A lot of people have been burned by similar sites, so as soon as there is a problem with payment, of course people are going to wonder. It does sound, though, like you need to put measures in place to prevent cheating, rather than witholding payments from all members until you check everyone out. Just my opinion.

It looks like so as no member has yet confirmed a receipt of payment in this thread.

I havent heared of this site yet so I may not know if its legit or not. but on the other hand its true that site like this often encounters cheaters and hackers. lets see if it really does pay give it some time and patience. If it doesnt pay then im sure you know what to do. ....

I think it's a scam. I have never came across a legit site withholding payment when it's due. They should have gone through the motions of checking your accounts while the payment is still not due. That's a lousy way of operating a site. I say you stop and watch a while, before contributing again. Hi Nilz, good to see you're back with a good discussion. Cheers and happy mylotting.

I saw the encouragement of one member here to join sizeofpaper. I actually wants to join them but I decided to search for an existing discussion first about them here in mylot. In that way, I'll have a good idea about them.
Then I saw several discussions with negative info. Like, payments withhold, can't access account, earnings not increasing, stuffs like that. So I am not sure whether it is wise to join them and spend sometime posting and answering posts.

I had never heard of this site before seeing your post, but managed to look it up, so now I realize it is a "pay per post" site. Usually when such a situation at any site gets to this point, it more often than not is a sign that the site will not last much longer. I only speak from experience and from what I have read about other pay per post sites that experienced similar issues.
Since it does pose as a money making opportunity, I would definitely like to see what happens in terms of its abilities to keep up with its members and pay the honest ones and see how long it all lasts. Only when enough people speak of positive experiences (that aren't counterbalanced by negatives coming from other people), however, would I think about joining such a site.
Thanks for the info, by the way.

I've never heard of this site, but it sounds supspicious to me. They know there is cheating going on, but they don't know who, so they can't pay anyone until they find out? Sounds like they are stalling. I hope you weren't counting on that money.

I registered with this website but never spent any time at all. Now I'm feeling lucky!

I want to join sizeofpaper as well. I saw the encouragement of one mylot member thus I learned about them. Butr before joining, I decided to search for an existing discussion first in mylot so I'll have an idea about them. Good thing I saw this discussion and others out there.
