When I try logging in to my iWriter account I am getting an error that my account has been blocked because of my low rating (2.9), would you know mylotters if there is a way to get my account balance in iWriter even my account is already blocked?

I just looked at their TOS and, frighteningly enough, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about getting paid. They make no promises or anything. I find that disturbing, to be honest, since they could just stop paying everyone and you'd have to take them to court to see your money. That is, unless I'm missing a user agreement somewhere (there's no link to one anywhere).
There's no information on account locking, procedures, processes, standards, quality or ANYTHING on there. I'd never realised that before - you're basically working COMPLETELY on faith when you sign up.
Your best bet is to contact them and ask.

Well, i have learned a lot of information form you,sir. You know what, i think these days are unlucky days of mine. Because before this week, up to 90% of my articles are approved. But i really don't know why, this week, i got one article then another being rejected.
I have been careful in writing. Maybe i have been unlucky and met some strict requesters. How low is our approval rate becomes?

Just today, my account was blocked due to low rating too. But I am a Premium Writer with 4.41 rating. I have received 8 5stars today with tips from requesters. How can this be low rating???????
And I have not received payment from iWriter.com yet for last week's work. It indicates in my account that it has been deducted, but it is not in Paypal yet.
SOMETHING IS FISHY!

Well, why this happens. If you got a 4.41 stars, it is a very high rating. How come they close your account. I really can't understand. My rating more than 4.4 too. But this week, i encountered some bad guys, who rejected my articles without sufficient reasons. It drove me mad. Though my english is not perfect, but i did get some special requests from some clients. How come they contact me if my english is very bad?

I'm a member of IWriter but I've never written for them. When I joined this site they were just starting out and their site was not worth a lot and this is the reason I didn't start writing for IWriter. But now a few months later IWriter has become one of the popular upfront for pay writing sites.
They even surpass Textbroker in the amount of work they have available for their writers. You must have violated their rules like plagiarized or had to any grammar and spelling errors. In today's marketplace employers have their pick of the crop.
Even Textbroker don't have too much work for their 2 and 3 star rated writers anymore. I applied at Content Authority and I got an email yesterday after 3 months, telling me to redo the article because of errors, this just the way it is. Hope you get paid the money that is still in your Iwriter account. Good Luck

They block the accounts to take away the money just like that from the people who write over there. I had an account which was valid till I had a rating of 2.6. But then, once the rating fell down to 2.4, because of the requester who had reasoned the article rejection because he already got what he wanted, I had my ratings dropping down and leading to the ban on my account! uff ! I too do not know what to do, but I have submitted a ticket asking for the money. NO response yet. Charles told that the ban on the account cannot be lifted. I am feeling so bad. I have a few dollars there.
