I have been publishing articles on Triond for some time now and have not really had much opportunity to complain or rant against this publishing site. I have read articles lamenting the horrors of Triond and of publishing here. For the most part I must say that I have always read these articles with a sense that if one is not happy writing here then maybe it is time to find some other place to publish ones articles. Upon reflection it was easy for me to feel this way because I have not had such trouble with Triond, until recently that is.
I have on two separate occasions had articles published on sites that had nothing to do with the article I wrote. One was a poem that ended up on computersight.com. The poem had nothing to do with computers. I tried unsuccessfully to get the powers that be to relocate this poem. The poem still remains on computersight.com.
The second occasion happened just today. I wrote and submitted an article to Triond which was a book review on a book I just finished reading. The book had nothing do to with religion (not that religion is bad or that I have anything against it). This book review ended up being published on relijournal.com. I am not sure why. It was not a review on a religious book and it had no other ties to religion that I can see. So why then did this end up in relijournal.com? Just wondering and ranting.
Having finished my Triond rant, I come to the request part of this article. I have posted the links to the two articles in question and am requesting that you read and then flag these articles as being in the wrong category. Maybe by doing this the powers that be at Triond may listen and actually see fit to fix this problem and relocate these articles.
This ends both my Triond rant and request. I want to say thank you in advance to those readers who actually follow through and answer the above request.

Ah, yes, this has been happening a lot lately! I didn’t feel right on flagging for relocation on the ed king one just in case I was in the wrong! They have now been flagged!

Your rant and request is understandable. Peopel do complain about views and low payouts but may still enjoy the writing aspect of it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
