Quick member check, anyone here using a different name to the one they use on Toluna? For the record I am on there as "magnius" and regularly moaning about something

I use Mikey47 but I am finding that any comments I make on the blog regarding lack of vouchers is being blacked out.
I have tried 3 times and each comment fails to appear.

I think is a lot of comment censoring going on, Toluna are trying to limit criticism that is being leveled at them.

The new points system is also horrendously thought out, just like the previous one, we are now limited to being awarded for 50 opinions a month, then everything else after that is a waste of time! 50 a month? I can do 50 in a week when things are running smoothly.

ive ordered 2 since then and got them within 6 weeks

write a very strongly worded email to them telling them to get themselves sorted out, they usually send the voucher a day after i send my token angry email

I am totally fed up of them - I get invites to surveys which I half complete only to be told I am being screened out:mad: They don't add points either and as for those silly tests that they have - does anyone actually do them? I ask because I am asked to subscribe and when I do up pops a message saying already subscribed and I don't get anything to test. It is one big fiddle.

:mad: Grrrrrr, once again I'm hacked off with them.
After providing them with answers to plenty of very specific questions (not classification ones like age, or salary) they STILL bombed me out of the survey - so they are gleening my info out of me and then not paying up my points!

Total con!
:mad:

Hi, have been a member of Toluna for a while but still don't understand it! Why do people bother to vote on polls and opinions that give no points? I only vote on the sponsored polls for 15 points and the short surveys that have recently appeared for 90 - 150 points. I know you can earn points for leaving an opinion that's over 80 words long yet there are many opinions on there were people are just leaving 3 or 4 word replies. If there's no points to earn why do people waste their time answering all the different polls/opinions? Am I missing something?

I can't access the site atm.
I keep on getting an error.
Maybe, they are on maintenance.

I can't access it either

I agree that there's far too many questions before getting screened out, and while I can see that some are aimed at finding out if you're suitable beyond just your age/salary etc (such as if you own a certain appliance or drink a particular drink) they do go into far too much detail before screening out!
Sometimes I've been so far through (5-10mins) I thought it WAS the survey only to be screened out:mad:
