You need to create a CF account or log in to yours, then file a ticket. If you do that CF will usually credit you for the time spent by the end of the week.

If you file a ticket, they will state they're looking into it, but that's it. I used to do tasks all the time but after being frustrated many times (because of no remedy and no answer from support), I moved onto other things and did them once-in-a-while.

I look at the tasks and see they are paying better but I won't do any of them anymore. Half of them never paid or credited towards accuracy. Out of almost 200 tasks, they credited only  about 10 of them towards accuracy. I find that ridiculous since you spend time doing these tasks and 2 answers wrong will give you a very low accuracy percentage,  so after they changed the levels, etc. and took my badge away, I quit doing them.

I've always gotten my credit. Sometimes it took much longer than others but it always pops up

I do tasks every now and then.  At first, I was credited within a short amount of time.  I have been denied access because of low accuracy, and I was a big contributor in the Business Card Transcription, so I will be considered when it comes to more tasks.  I can't really explain why finding a right answer to be told by Crowdflower is so crucial.  I take it that Crowdflower is looking for a particular answer.

Hello,
I had the same problem. I tried a few times and still
even though, like you I was right, "they" maintained
I was wrong. I did not keep any of the info.

I might just try it again, and if it does not work
I will send a ticket. We should not have to send
a ticket for a task that we did right.

[nadette]

Yesterday, I filed a support ticket. I received an answer
and they gave me 1 cent credit.

[charmaine56]

thanks nadette, Ill file a ticket. it just is very odd its the right answer and for a penny they insist it is not.

[charmaine56]

that was the only one since task up today and it still was saying days was the wrong answer.

[ladavia89]

that was the only one since task up today and it still was saying days was the wrong answer.

Are you putting days or Days? Capitalization does matter

[appy9104]

I gave up after they "failed" me when I answered just like the example they gave it was the exact same scenario, it was the final straw because it is totally impossible to fiqure out what is "correct" and there will be a ton of complaints listed on these "wrong" answers.  Just too stressful and not worth it for 1-5 cents!   

[fjaz1]

OK if you want credit for this task you are not going to believe the answer: weeks 
I was frustrated too with it and filed complaints to no avail so I just kept guessing and got it
Sometimes they say bottom left of page and it is right   who knows what kind of burnouts they have working there and they don't seem to edit or proofread their work.  The newest frustration is the twitter physician task where you can't give a correct answer when you see Speech Language Pathologist.  This is really bad and ruins your accuracy, but you can't do anything about it

The Business Card Transcription was unrelated to Crowdflower. Any work you did there wouldn't count towards your CF accuracy.

Crowdflower's support used to be pretty awesome, though I have not done tasks in a while. However, whenever I encountered a problem, I'd always submit a ticket and CF would give me manual credit. Some years ago, it'd take months to receive credit until they revamped their support system. Then it'd only take maybe a few days, at most.

Perhaps something's changed though, based on what fjaz1 posted...

I always get my credit by the end of the day after I've submitted a help ticket. My issues are usually system problems than having incorrect answers
