It certainly looks tricky....

The pay makes it worthwhile to give it a go, good luck if you try it.

The full 55 I have no doubt . It's certainly tricky, but I suppose that is reflected in the pay. This is a $24 job is taken to the limit (with bonuses factored in).

Did you manage the full 55 snowcauldron? I managed two so far :rotfl:

This may be of interest to you taskers. I'll copy this from a thread on the ClixSense forum, a recent post by 'someworker' (official Crowdflower representative). Sure he/she wouldn't mind. He's venting!

"(...)we know test questions suck. We know the flag system sucks. We know honestly. I'm not just saying this in some attempt to appease you. I absolutely despise having to make TQ any time I make a job. I hate it! It's a pain. (...) But they are extremely effective at controlling quality, so they have to remain. No quality = No jobs for you guys. The flag system is the same way. It sucks, admittedly I discovered this recently when I started visiting these forums, but it serves a purpose and it is extremely effective at what it does. The downside is that some (way too many IMO) task authors do not know how it works and what its effects are. Of course you will reply with "Well train them!", but I'm pretty sure you don't realize the resources required to train one client let alone the thousands of free users.

Like I stated in another thread I will make a push for limiting/altering the flag system. Actually the engineers already have a revamp for flags on their radar. This won't be a quick fix but they do plan to rework it all at some point. Anyways I have rambled on enough."

Yeah, take your time! Nah, I'm only up to 18. It's making my brain hurt. I'll wander in and out of it throughout the morning. As I've said, it seems to hang around (for obvious reasons, like demanding 12/10 in quiz mode...)

I've just hopped over the $1000 line for tasks on Clixsense, meaning I've received $100 in bonuses! This is thanks to a huge boost today from the What's Happening task, done 24 so far and luckily have only got one test question wrong.

That's amazing, well done!

Just wondering if anyone else is getting problems with notifications to the thread....mine are all over the place...wonder if it is because the thread is so long now or whether it's just Hotmail playing up

older_wiser

someone did mention on another thread that notifications weren't working properly rachel

i did attempt the task but got booted out i'm always careful with high paying tasks flags are too common as snowcauldron post shows.
