Yeah, once you type the first one or two words it usually auto completes but it was so much easier when you could just copy and paste.

I guess so but it is usually only two or three words to search for anyway, so by the time I type those I would've only just copied and pasted really. Probably saves a few seconds per task for me, 2 or 3 maybe, but I'm good at using my keyboard shortcuts.

Lots of surveys around today if you've not already looked x

I've had a few casino tasks where the checkbox didn't work either.

And a task I enjoyed in the past has turned up:

421448
What is the topic of an event?
level_1_contributors
$0.08 17855

A month or 2 ago, I was doing the exact same task for $0.16, but even so, its still good pay.

Bryan1983

Yeah, I noticed there's several surveys available Katy. Might do a couple if I can be bothered. I haven't done anything since Friday.

Thanks for posting.

I always raise a ticket for the casino jobs and usually get credited within 24 hours.

Oh great... well I finally got a response from Crowdflower, and they're telling me that the reason I haven't got a badge is because I have accessed tasks using a proxy server!!!?????
I have never accessed tasks using a proxy server... wouldn't have the first clue how to, and no idea why I would even want to? What would be the point?

And what they've written doesn't even make sense... if they normally ban, then why hadn't they? Why did it take me writing and re-writing about not being reviewed to get a 'warning'? It seems like an excuse.
"Thanks for writing back. It appears as though you have accesses tasks using a proxy server which is violation of our terms of service which we would normally ban your account for. This time we just warning you, but if it happens again we will ban your account(s).
Unfortunately this not the type of behavior we reward with a level badge which is why you do not have a level badge."

Its nonsense... I have never ever ever ever used one... arrrrgh!!!?
Does anyone know anything about proxy servers, or whether someone like Sky can use proxies without you knowing?

I've already done about $5 worth of surveys tonight, in between tasking, but I'm the same really. No motivation. Only up til my husband wakes at 4am then finally off to bed.

Glad to hear you've finally got a response, sorry to hear it isn't what you were expecting. Hopefully now you've been 'warned' you'll be able to get back to tasking..

Do you use the puffin browser on an iPad or iPhone?

Edited to add - I would imagine that they didn't ban you as they manually reviewed your account at the time, when they found this proxy server problem and decided not to give you a level badge. Of course they didn't let you know as they are kind like that :rotfl:

RachelBel

I've never used a proxy.
I'm furious to be accused of it when i know i've not done so.
No, never use an ipad for tasking. Never heard of puffin.

Wasn't this the same thing they accused you of Katy, when they banned you?

System

I don't know a huge deal about proxy servers and the like, hopefully someone else here can shed some light on it.

Puffin is a browser for iOS devices. If you don't own one then it can't be that. I know of someone banned before because they were using a browser to access tasks that they shouldn't be able to access from their mobile device, so I thought I'd ask.

No, this is nothing like what I was banned for I'm afraid. My ban was a misunderstanding on a single task, and once I spoke to them about it they realised this and reinstated me straight away.

Wish I could shed more light on it for you.
