Was anyone due to hear whether or not they passed on Friday?

Argh I'm so annoyed this evening. I am working on the crowd sourcing and normally everything is OK. On a certain type of task, you can always tell when it's a 'spam' checker task because it comes up with something US based. Anyway, I was doing these tasks correctly, but it kept saying I was wrong! It's now locked me out of this task for a low spam score. I've sent them an email explaining many of the tasks were incorrect in saying I was wrong. Hopefully they'll reinstate me on the task because it's often the only one available.

Well I've been NoHitApps for over a week now and when I try to do the judging tests for tasks I'm told there's none available. Looking at my report I seem to have @97% accuracy rate so the lack of work surely isn't because of low scores. I've emailed them to ask if there is a reason for no tasks but had no response.
Is anyone else doing crowdsourcing finding there's no work available?

I've mainly had no hit apps for the last week, although, did do one yesterday morning (which has now gone) which paid really well and I should get $20 bonus too. Hopefully some more jobs like that will come up again soon.

Yeah, I've had pretty much the same experience. Since I started on 18th April I've earned just over $50. And the last time I did ANYTHING was over a week ago.

Not that it really matters now though, as I'm expecting to be starting on the 20 hour a week role within the next few days.

I've managed about $250 in the last month. I think the week before last was the best - nearly $150 that week. Think sometimes its just being on at the right time. How did you get into the 20 hour a week role? Do you have to be invited? Not sure I could manage 20 hours every week though. Good luck with it

I've earned just over $60 since mid April and also had no work for a while. Just treating any crowdsourcing work I get now as a bonus.

Retook my WSE exam at weekend and think I did better than last time (got overall pass but failed on 2 categories last time) so feeling pretty confident about that.

But might have an issue with WSE work as was hoping to fit it in with my main day job when not busy and then finish off in evenings but just realised that at main job I have windows xp and their programmes only work on Windows 7 so might struggle to fit in 4 hours per night at home!!! :eek:

May be time to chase LF up about my application I made in Feb!! :rotfl:

Yes, was invited to apply by email. Not sure why you didn’t get it too. I do have a link somewhere though... Here! Also got emailed about a third project as well, but as I was in the middle of applying for the WSE I didn’t really pay much attention to what it was about. And yeah, I’m not sure I can actually manage the 20 hours either, but will just have to do my best I suppose!

Oh, you have a day job too?! Yeah, it does sound like it would be practically impossible, especially considering we're only allowed to work between 7am and 7pm as well. Best of luck with getting a response from LF. Apparently the reason communications with them can be somewhat unpredictable is due to all email enquiries being answered from here. :rotfl:

Thanks for the link. Do think I would struggle with the hours though. Shame they don't offer 10 hour contracts - that would be ideal for me

You aren't supposed to work for ABH and LF at the same time btw.
