It didn't say that in the instructions though, I got through by pure luck I reckon. Just depends on which order you get the questions in and whether you keep getting the same test ones or random ones.....

Ha, you're being overly modest. I wish CF would fix this bug where 90% of task availability is being displayed as zero. Would be rather more useful than enforcing a log-on with facebook.

To compount my misery, I've just accidentally copy + pasted a Fisher Investments URL into one of the Market Research jobs. They will probably repossess my house as punishment.

Oh dear :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Agreed to the first point. And don't worry too much about the second one, there don't seem to be any checks and balances on that task (yet). I know that I've put different answers into at least one of those pages because different yet still applicable to the search answers have come up first. So far still living in my home.

Bad news about the facebook login, I just deleted my FB account a few months ago and have no wish to make another one, even a fake one. I fail to see how this makes CF more secure from the spammers, but then I'm not up on the tech side of things.

This past while there has been hardly any decent tasks to do, so that would definitely need to change, else I doubt I'll bother with it anymore.

I'm unhappy about the new rules too, I've never had a facebook account and I don't really want one. I'll consider what I am going to do over the next few days but I'm disappointed that they are doing this.

I joined Clickworker the other day, I haven't done much with them yet as they had to manually connect me to something but I felt ok about giving them a mobile number whereas I feel very uneasy about having a facebook account.

I don't really understand why they are requiring a facebook account it can't be for security or to disuade people from making false accounts as its easy to just make a fake account on FB. I wonder if its more to do with people using VPN services to access jobs that their home country wouldn't have. How having a FB account would help with that i'm not sure.

Or perhaps CF get some kinda of monetary payment from adding our FB accounts i'm cautious about the new sign in requirement but it won't stop me using it. i'll just create a FB account i never use other than to sign into CF.

apologies for all the abreviations lol

Crowdflower actually had a survey about a Facebook login a couple weeks ago - "Are you in favour Yes or No"? I voted no. Given the overwhelmingly negative response on here, I'm guessing everybody else did the same...but Crowdflower decided to do it anyway.

I really wouldn't be happy using my Facebook account, but given the drastic fall off in doable tasks over the past month it wouldn't be much of a dilemma. Unless, of course, they have been holding back tasks so that they will have a lot of work available for the change over as a way of incentivising people to sign up.

What do people mean about fake facebook account, do you still use your name, but a new email address.
Sorry if I'm being a bit stupid but I don't use facebook.
PM if you don't want to put answer on here.

From what I gather, people use a back-up email address and either a pseudonym or a nickname for the new Facebook account.
