Hmm... that makes sense. It would be fair to some extent to both sites and users if we were paid for even half of them that we posted to get verified.I got your point but as I said if they will pay us for those posts after we are approved then its fine to write even 25 posts and they only need to pay us if we are approved so they can do that but actually they are not interested in this.
I see only 17 posts made by me here when I logged in here today. So, I thought of posting eight more to get to earning status. But I got the credits after 17 posts only. Not sure if there is any recent update from PB on the same.
