Tasks
« on: March 16, 2017, 10:45:02 pm »
I don't understand the Tasks thing. Do I have to create an account with that Crowdflower? And is there a way to do it NOT using a Facebook because that's the only option I see UPDATE - ok nevermind I figured it out but its normal to not qualify for any of the tasks?

Yes you have to create a crowdflower account and link it to Facebook.

You have to meet certain requirements before you can qualify for more/higher level tasks. Once you do a certain amount with a high enough accuracy you'll have access to more.

I have never understood the tasks.  I dont know why it seems so difficult.  I see many people talking about it.

But of course, they have it set up so that you CAN'T do enough tasks to ever level up. They only provide tasks very rarely to those who aren't already leveled up.

yeah thats where i seem to be stuck at. for some reason i failed an accuracy thing i guess (it was really a matter of perspective on the questions so i dont think thats fair but whatever lol) and no new tasks come up ever for me so i cant level up. sad.

I've tried tasks,  but couldn't come up with the answers they expected.  Of course, this made me wonder how they could grade me unless they already had correct answers.

My impression is that they have been training an AI to read the descriptions and if we don't agree often enough they throw us out, not the AI.

I do as many tasks as I can.  I started a long time ago so I don't remember how the leveling up worked but I'm at Level 3 and do fairly well with them.   Wish I could be of more help but my advice would be to just keep doing what you can, eventually you'll level up.   There aren't always a lot of tasks I want to do but I find some several days a week.  I enjoy them.

Other people answer the same questions which is why there are usually other responses up if you dispute it

I had good luck with the research studies (there were no right or wrong answers).  Some of the other stuff was head scratching one they gave an example later there was a question just like there example so I answered just like the example and mine was wrong,  the explanation given didn't match the instructions.  I disputed it,  there were a ton of other people complain on that same question.  It failed the whole task and really messed with rankings after that I avoided anything with right/wrong.  There were a good number of research studies/surveys (at least before the Facebook requirement, I haven't done any since).

When I joined fushioncash I noticed no tasks so I wrote an email and few hour later I was given tasks in level one.  I would recommend you trying an email and see if they will give you more tasks.  It won't hurt to try since it worked for me.

I'm level 2 now, took quite awhile to get there, some of the tasks are so darn complicated and some don't even explain what you did wrong to be expelled. That's frustrating! We used to do Card Transcribing, now that was fairly fun and easy!! Then they did away with that and brought on the tasks. You could try going to Crowdflower's Facebook page and ask what to do there, however they provide tasks on many (I believe) different sites. I know of 2 for sure anyhow. So you may have to explain it's for the FC site. Good luck!  :thumbsup:
