Why was I banned from ALL crowdflower??
« on: July 13, 2012, 04:34:36 pm »
I have done nothing wrong

last week they say I'm a top worker will get special tasks twice the pay

NOW I get this message on ALL tasks:

'Sorry - you have been banned from completing tasks

You have been banned from completing any more work. If you believe your work was wrongly banned please contact us using the "Send Feedback" link in the upper right hand corner.'

No way to "send feedback" to them

sometimes there is a glitch in their system there should be a drop down menu you have to make a account for crowdflower to then be able to ask questions on thier site any fc members correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's what I had to do I don' usually bother with the task too confusing

that is weird, I used to do the flag images of adult content until they changed it yet again, and kept knocking me because when I clicked to select the pictures that were qualified, then scrolled down the page the last image I clicked lost its highlight so I had to slow down and do it 2 or 3 times or get dq'd. There are a few other paid to click or read sites out there that also use the crowdflower platform so if you are doing them as well, they may be only willing to pay you from the other site? I don't know that for sure but it would be one guess anyhow. For the amount of time the tasks take and the confusing instructions and only a half cent on most of them are they really worth doing?

Yep. I no longer do the flag for adult content bc it kept saying i was making mistakes when I obviously was not. i didnt want to risk being unable to do other types of tasks.

It does sound like it is some sort of glitch, since it won't let you send feedback either.

Oh, I totally agree about the tasks.  I do them when I just can't get a good day out of the surveys or just to push up my balance.  But, when I find what they are looking for on like the fortieth google page I also wonder about the half penny or the penny.  They can be frustrating, but if you keep checking, sometimes there are also easy ones for a dime.  But yes, if your accuracy is not right on, they will disqualify your work and I have seen that be very questionable, too.   One asked me if a guy was the Chief Operating Officer of a company and the webpage says that he was the Chief Financial Officer and I marked "no" and was disqualified for that one on accuracy and got upset, but, like you said it's their call.          :dontknow:      ???    :sad1:

There are a few other paid to click or read sites out there that also use the crowdflower platform so if you are doing them as well, they may be only willing to pay you from the other site?

If you have done tasks on other sites (the same tasks) you will see the "You've done all the work you can on this task" message when you click on the task to do it.  So doing the task on one site and completeing "all the work" available means you won't be able to do it on other sites until they reset tasks, or possibly add more work.

I'd have to say that, after doing tasks, having issues, and then ATTEMPTING to resolve issues on the crowdflower "support" site.....
their "NEW SUPPORT SYSTEM" is NOT an improvement, as they say, and IS, for the most part, basically useless, unless you post about an issue they already know about and are working on.

The latest "brainstorm" they implemented on the site was to merge all posts that are reporting problems on the same task # under one topic/post.
So now NONE of the new posts made are being read or answered, because the original topic/post shows "Answered" or "Resolved" (which may likely not even be the case on the original post). 
They post answers (which in my case the last time was NOT an answer to what I reported AT ALL), and then THEY mark it "Resolved" which = "CLOSED", and then you aren't able to ask them about it again on that post. (Sure you can posts comments later, but all they see is "CLOSED", and don't respond.)

?  ?   ???  ?  ?  What sense does this make....it is NOT resolved, and shouldn't the person asking for help make that decision?

*Believe it or not, they call the site "GET SATISFACTION".
YOW!! That's a HOOT!
                    
How come it won't play?
