Ok so do you find it frustating that a task creator will take soo long to approve your task submitted? I did two tasks, through two different task creators the TWO days ago, and they are still of status of pending! ! ! It just simply drives me bonkers. What are your thoughts on this matter?

I've never worked on tasks, but I think there's more to it that what you're talking about. Ultimately, myLot is the final decision maker, and I think that they have to approve those tasks before payment. And if it's a task with many different opportunities to complete, they may need to wait to have all of the opportunities taken before they can begin the reviewing process. I know it drives you bonkers, but not everything is going to be instant gratification. Hope that helps a bit.

i am pretty patient. I can wait but i dont think they work them on the weekends though. How long have tasks been offered on myLot? Do we know if they are here to stay? Thanks.

Lets see.. Its sunday today, I will give them until Tuesday evening after that, if they've posted new tasks and havent approved the old ones I will then contemplate on reporting them to Mylot. Thanks everyone for your advice/input, I guess you are right, it is the weekend and I do have to take into consideration that they have to review all of the submissions before approval. Thanks :) Happy Tasking/Mylotting

Two days is not a lot of time for a task to be pending, actually. When you look at an available task posting, check the bottom line and you will see the number of open spots that there are for completing it. For example, it might say that there are 10 of 100 available. This means that 99 other people will theoretically submit the same task as you and every one of those has to be reviewed. It takes a little time. The FAQ on tasks tells us to wait at least one week before inquiring about a task with "pending" status. I know it's hard to be patient, once you have submitted, but bear in mind that myLot only pays out once per month anyway... so even if you got approval almost instantly, you would not receive those rewards until the next payout date. Good luck with your tasks!

I do feel the same way too. However the task creator probably need sometime to review all the submitted task right. I mean they are only human too. But taking too long might not be acceptable. If that happen you can always report it the mylot admin. Hope they will check about it. Happy lotting
