    So I wonder how many people will get 4 out of 5 articles published in February without needing editing, but the 5th will some how not make it. This contest is great! No prizes are needed due to the fabulous fine print

    Great point - but surely the site isn't that mean...

    Suite101 has been around for years. They used to be swell 10 years ago, then they went downhill. A writer friend recently asked me about her writing for the site, and for similar small print you cited, I shared with her some alarming info. She agreed.

    What's worrying is that they seem to suggest to would-be writers for the site that they have a chance to make some good money. Yet they're not the greatest at promoting the work and leave the majority of the backroom stuff to the writer. Sadly, it often works.

    This is a particular pet peeve of mine, especially with the recent KFC commercial. I feel like this use of small print and constant lies belittles us as consumers. It's as if the advertisers think we have no brains whatsoever and they expect us to fall for/follow this crap.
