Sorry to hear you have to pass MORE tests Mallrat

I passed last week and I am back in (for now). The rolling thing with metrics makes it hard to work out if you've improved after a layoff. It's incredibly stressful.

I'm guessing that all the remarks above are for people working as Internet evaluators. I'm doing crowdsourcing work and after a first couple of weeks with plenty to do there seems to be nothing for 3 - 4 weeks now. My accuracy level was fine and as far as I know I'm not under review for any reason . Is this normal to have long periods with no Hit Apps? I have emailed them but no response so far

Hi... I'm also doing crowdsourcing and I've found June to be very hit and miss. 1st week I was really busy, then 2nd week I did nothing. Last week was busy again and even ended up staying up quite late Friday night as loads of work available and then nothing available again until this afternoon.

Not sure how they dish out the work then?? I just assumed that everybody could see all the tasks available and basically it was first come first served. Usually with the tasks they do seem to go down really quickly so I just treat anything I earn from here as bonus money... don't think I'm ever gonna get rich from it :rotfl:

I've had virtually nothing in June at all but managed enough end of April through May to at least know I'll be getting some cash in July. Luckily I'm seeing it as bonus money too. I'm concerned though that if you've had some busy periods this month that I am being blocked out of hit apps for some reason I don't know about

Thanks.

Just heard that I do need to do them again.

The whole process seems so pointless considering it doesn't really help us identify what we're doing wrong during the actual working week. Have emailed them asking if they can possibly give me any further information, but not expecting to hear much back.

I said the same thing in my exit survey.

No attempt at constructive criticism, review or help of any kind - just removal from paid work and being sent back to keep re-doing the same studying and testing.

I felt like I was stuck in a loop with no real expectation that I would ever get out.

Does anyone ever find their wifi crashing when doing the uhrs ones? I seem to have a crash every 5 minutes sometimes.

hey lily,

I think I might also get what you are talking about... every so often internet explorer will crash and this takes down the internet for the whole computer... chrome, firefox etc. Although it doesn't seem to affect other things such as if i'm streaming or downloading. It requires IE to be manually reset in the options to allow everything to work again.

Very annoying to say the least

Well, just had the email saying I've been returned to production - again. :huh:

Will now just have to see what happens over the next 10 days or so, I guess...

Just worked out that I've only worked on 12 days this month - which is only 2 more than in May and I only started on the 20th. Not exactly what I was expecting from this "job". Oh well...
