Got rejected

Last night I have been intrested in Postloop- it is a site for making money online! You have to Register and then you gotta write threads in Portal.Postloop.com.
It is a forum and you chat about different topics.
It gives you chance to post 10 posts and then they review your posts and send you an emal within 24 hours if you got accepted to write in forums or you got rejected!
Today I woke up, turn on my laptop immediately and checked what happened. I got message that I got rejected.
They said that my posts are so short and that I had grammar mistakes!
But I found online that they even reject native English speakers, so probably the site is scam or doesn't need other members!

I said "I'm not surprised that native English speakers are ... rejected" because I am frequently depressed at seeing native English speakers (and, yes, also those who claim to have a degree in English - there is no such thing, I believe, as a "Masters Degree in Writing"!) abuse the language horribly with bad grammar, sloppy spelling, and careless punctuation. I know of several writers for whom English is a second language (including you, @MALUSE!) who are far better at writing English than most native English speakers.

I have never written there but their standards are very high. Many top sites require perfection so don't take it personally. As the responses on here prove, many native English speakers have very poor grammar and spelling.

Does this site pay well?
I will use myLot only, one site at time is enough for me. 
It really sucks to get rejected, it happened to me on Gengo (translation jobs) because of little minor mistakes, but too many for qualifying. 
It makes me angry because you sometimes see articles on very known sites with awful grammar or syntax.
However, about Gengo, I read some of those who got qualified still don't like it there because jobs are really small, they say you can't make a living by translating there.
So I just try to think of that, although I would have loved to make some experience in a site like that.

@Vblonde I think Gengo can be trusted because it's free and you're required to take some tests before applying for a job. But they're pretty strict and they have tons of rules (when it comes to translating).
If you think you're good at translating and you'd like to make it a job someday, that looks like a nice platform where to learn.
When I first joined I couldn't take any tests because my languages weren't needed at that time, later a seat was available, but I failed 2/3 of tests and I wasn't ready to fail the third.

I joined there ages ago.
Did the test posts and all was fine but after that I never went back as the forums you could post on were of no interest to me.
I know lots of people who've been rejected so I wouldn't worry about it.

@Vblonde I couldn't write on the test posts as I do here...it took way more thought as everything had to be right from what I remember.
Spelling, grammar and punctuation etc.
For the amount of effort it wasn't worth it for me.

I remember trying that place years ago. I was also rejected. They seem really legit but they want perfect English and good commenting.

Ha ha, you jump in that conclusion already. Think of this, if they are scam, they should just accept every people who register in their site. Why not try again, maybe you need only to edit your submitted article.

I can tell you for a fact they are legit. I do work for them and have gotten paid. You must have perfect English. Your post must be very long and interesting. They also may not be needing anyone.
