A few days ago, I spent half the day reading articles in Triond.
For those reasonably good articles, I would leave a comment after reading it, and then move on to the next article.
For those spun articles and spam articles, I flagged those articles.
Some articles are plain spams.
Can you imagine anyone write "how to make money with Triond" 20 times and count it as an article?
I found a few articles like that.
Some just had one line, "how to make easy money" in the main text.
The writers managed to publish those in Authspot.
Today I receive notification that those contents have been deleted.
I have successfully completed the minimum flagged article for the bonus this month.
Hopefully after this round of baptism, Triond will be a better place.
What about you?
Have you flagged enough articles and wrote enough articles in Triond to qualify for the bonus?

I've been flagging a lot this month, not just for the bonus, but because people are linking to illegal manga scans using Triond and since illegal material is not allowed, I'm going after those articles that just say "Read poplar manga title Chapter title online" type "articles" so I've gotten my bonus amount flagged, I want to clear out the spammy articles so my manga reviews can get more traffic, because it's not right that no one can find my articles because they're buried beneath all the spam.

Oh congratulation for a job well done in Triond... Actually not yet doing anything because Ihave no time, this month of august no articles has been publised or submit. Even flagging articles, but I will try to put some time to do that. I don't think that I can manage to the bonus this month.. I have more than 100 articles published and I'm sure all those articles are qualified and appropraite.

Hi Visavis, actually flagging articles is easier than writing articles.
There are too many spams and spun articles in Triond.
I think if you find good articles, you should leave a comment so that the writers know about it, and they will return a comment to you.
If you see badly written content or content that violates the rules of Triond, then you can flag those articles.

Hi Visavis, work is more important than Triond or other online activities.
I can give you a tip to make article writing a bit easier.
I am sure your company has a lot of rules and policies.
You can use the policy as a guide, and rewrite it into an article.
I have done that a few times, and those articles are earning very well.
I think many office workers use that as a template to write the policy for their bosses.
Even if the policy is about taking home leave, I am sure you can make it into an article.

Well, I can't say that I am anywhere near as ambitious as you! I barely read any Triond articles, partly becuase Triond still takes forever to load pages. There's too much "stuff" clogging up the load.
I have started writing there again and have made a few comments on articles the people I follow have written. I have yet to encounter a flaggable article so you must be really reading a lot on Triond!
As it stands currently, I barely have time to write articles, let alone read and comment on other's works. I do the best I can though, dividing my time between Triond, mylot, Associated Content (Yahoo Contributor Network) and HubPages.

Hi Aerous, since you have kids, you can write about children.
You can talk about the bad habits of children, such as biting nails or digging their noses, and how to get them to stop that.
All these are topics that sound too common, yet many parents are having frustration with teaching kids.
You can also write book reviews of children stories, or cartoons.
There is no lack of writing material, just a matter of sitting down, organizing your thoughts and write.

Whaat? Getting a "bonus" from flagging articles??? Did you mean a financial bonus, or a "badge"?
Anyway... I haven't been that active on Triond; I've posted about 20+ articles in total (since 2009), and about 5-7 of them are popular enough to have made me 1$ each (in 0.5 to 2 years, that is). Guess I should at least get the spam/Insufficient quality content flagged so that the overall quality of the content would improve. 
I have found a great way to get good traffic to Triond articles, however, and that is promoting them on a blog/website. I get about 900+ unique daily visits on my blog (pretty decent, right?) and my bounce rate is as "low" as 38-42% (means that 38-42% of the visitors will leave the website immediately after entering it, but 40% is still quite good ?very?). If I could transfer even 10% of those people to some of my Triond articles, I would get around 100 Triond views per day! That way I could easily get more earnings from Triond in days than what I have done in years so far.
NOTE: this would require me to do some articles on the same theme as the website = I couldn't link "Health Tips" triond articles on a "Cars from 1990" website for example

I am not a Triond member but I don't think it is a good thing that they made their users denounce each other. I think this job must have been done by their paid employees. It is not fair to force their honest users to do the dirty job. If they didn't had the time to review the articles before publishing them, why do they say articles won't be published immediately?
I'm afraid not all users are so just like you are and they might flag a few articles randomly, just to earn the bonus.
How big is this bonus, anyway?

Hi Inu, actually it is rather common to let writers flagged articles.
Even Helium, a very reputable writing site, has a rating system that allows writers to read, and rate the works of others.
Since search engines penalize the website as a whole, if there are too many bad articles in a given site, everyone does not earn.
Even good writers suffer.
That is why it makes sense for good writers to keep the websites clean, so that everyone can earn.
Triond has too many writers. They publish at least 1000 articles per day.
It is impossible for a small team of Triond employees to read everything.
They have to resolve the technical problems as well.

Ya,I m also doing this to make Triond more better site.
And all those spam articles are deleted...
This makes a Triond more informative..
And if someone came for a search like "how to make money with Triond"...So he will get the relevant information and not the rubbish which could make them confused...
Thanx...
