No it's not just you Mrmagoo. It's stupid that there's hardly any work when Ive had a week off from work already and another week off. I was hoping to do the maximum hours for those 2 weeks but no chance of that happening at this rate.

Thanks for letting me know. Let's hope it picks up for everyone's sake! Fingers crossed!

Got 2 stars again - think I need to re-read some of the guidelines.

Sorry to hear that! You are always so helpful on here. Hard to know what they are based on. Hope it gets better.. My first star review - a big fat 2 also! :eek: I am also going over the GGs, quizzes, etc.

its just daft that we are doing a job and get no feedback, bar some star rating ages after the event. Surely its in their interests to feedback and get us back on track far quicker, as they have to pay us?

I don't feel so bad now that i haven't done much this week, started new full time job and away this weekend, so wasn't expecting to do much. Frustrating if you were promised a bonus based on doing extra though!

Oh dear! I've had my first type 7 tasks in 3 days today and got 40 minutes in and many more tasks achieved now I know I don't have to comment, thanks to you.

I can't seem to find out what the minimum per hour expected on type 7 tasks is. Anyone know?

My 1st was a 2 star as well

I agree. I would have thought that weekly feedback during the 1st 3 weeks would be essential so as to avoid compounding any misunderstanding/errors.

I don't think you're alone in that. I had very few exam type tasks in the early days.

Well, I only managed about 5 hours last week so going to miss out on the new rater bonus. It was my last week and Id killed myself getting the 15 hours in for the first five weeks, on top of my fulltime job and stuff, and then due to lack of tasks I couldnt do it last week. Ive emailed them about it, asking whether they'll take task availability into account when deciding whether to pay the bonus but Im not expecting to get a favourable reply, lol !! Gutted !

On a good note, got my first star rating, and I cant believe it but Ive got 4 stars !! woo-hoo !!:j

Well done. That's amazing....what's your secret?

Having said that.....they just appeared yay

Any idea what the max time I should spend on one at the start? at the moment its taking me 3.5 minutes because I am doing lots of research and checking
