Can I be new again? Restart please?
I've had my account for almost a year now. At the beginning I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had a poor recording space, the wrong equipment and no experience. In my haste and ignorance I posted a large amount of low quality voice samples. This quickly got my account deactivated. I took some time after that to figure out if this is something I was cut out for, or really wanted to do. After coming to the conclusion that it was, and still is, I decided to do everything I could to get my account back. It took me another 9 months or more of endless trial and error to accomplish that but I did and I was so proud. That was on the 27th of July, all thanks to the endless kindness and patience of Angela Serrano.
Since then I've had some other obligations that have demanded most of my time. However, I still was receiving very few invites - not like it was when I was first hired. I was able to make a few attempts though. My first two submissions were rejected by the quality control team. My, third was accepted, my 4th was rejected again but then the last two were accepted. I had to do one revision in there as well. Then I had the last of my other obligations to take care of and I had learned the importance of the vacation settings. So I put myself on vacation for a little while. Then when I came off vacation, I got one speedy that I didn't think I was right for so I didn't accept it. After that however I have received no invitations to participate in contests or speedy's.
I did some research and found out how it all works - how the algorithm works, and how new bunny pros are given a temporary priority boost, so as to give them a chance to prove themselves. I realize that I squandered that opportunity. This has been very discouraging, and I was almost willing to give up on what I have worked so hard for. Then I found another post by another pro who was in a similar situation, “How to receive invites again…” posted by Denise Thistlewaite. In it, you offered to delete her account and have her re-apply. This would allow her to start with a clean slate and not be so disadvantaged in the work. Could this be done for me as well? I believe that if it could, I would be truly successful.

Hi Nathaniel!
Thank you for writing to us and I'm sorry for taking some time to respond to your thread. I was out of work for several days due to a small accident but I'm now back and taking care of all the pending requests.
I can totally help you closing this account so you can start over! Just let me know when you've withdrawn all the funds for the approved recordings and I'll process it. As you don't have many stats, we can do it.
