Just this morning,I was paused 4 times by the system of Microworkers!
I feel it's unfair on my side!
I've submitted at once my proofs and when I submit it,it says the task was paused by the system! Especially when I do the "Digg tasks" wherein I have still have to copy paste the last sentence of the article given. At first,I was thinking it's just I'm a bit slow in submitting it but when I see how many works are being done yet and it is indicated 0/40 so that means there are no workers who did the task so I said I have a great chance I wont be paused by the system,I did the task in 45 seconds and when I submit it,not accepted,paused by the system!
Do you also encounter this?! What's your experience?

Hi, my friend! How are you know? I hope Microworkers didn't get the best of you. These things happen in many GPT sites. I hope you get your work's worth soon.

That's good! Yeap, it's a busy week. I need to catch up with my MyLot earnings since I've been gone for a while.
So, have you been to MW recently? I hope you get a better experience the next time you make a job there!

Same like you, i had been paused a few times by the system when i tried to submit a few tasks recently. I remembered, i also encountered that problem when i was about to submit the "Digg tasks". Seems like, i am wasting my time into completing those "Digg tasks" and being rejected. Hope the admin will check and solve this problem, since i still like to spend my time into earning from here. Good luck to everyone of us...

Yes, this is a good earning site. The only problem is, since they had upgrade the site, everything seems changed a little in here. Even until now, i just couldn't find my referral details in my account. Just hope the admin will be able to solve all these problems soon.

Your referral details my friend?
It's just written beside your username,your microworkers ID,I gave you the example link in your disussion regarding micro ref link,didn't you get it? If not,just tell me so I will pm you about it.
By the way,I noticed there are few jobs lately. Before,there are always more than 10 or 20 available jobs but now it's below 10,is it also the same as yours?

Hi andrey!
I don't know,it disappoints me whenever my work is paused by the system or not accepted since I've done it quick and right. And it really upset me that day 'cause it happened to me 4 times,oh my! But that doesn't mean that I will leave micro now,it's still my fave site,lol!

Hi my sweet friend
Yes I have received the pause message a few times too, It is disappointing and makes one want to stop using the site. To date, I too as suny says above have lessened my activity there.
On another note they never did get back to my support question, if we no longer earn from referrals there. I do see the referral link but no way to check if we are actually earning anymore from them.
So lots of changes with the site as there are in many other sites too.

Hi my dear friend!
I'm sad my friend 'cause this is my favorite site I've been working on for months and I am happy with my earnings there. I just feel so bad today 'cause I feel I'm already being cheated!
You are right about there's no way if we are being paid for our referrals,I don't see it on the payout list.
I wish I could also join some other sites like this.

Suny that is too funny with the name comment! What is worse is that I have loads of referrals there and they were all nearing payout so I was going to finally earn my referral money. But with the change there is no way of knowing if they did make payout or not and or if I will ever see my referral earnings. I sent 3 support tickets and never once have they replied. So apparently they have gone under too many changes. Sad when sites do that.

It is very common all the while.
I did experience many times. After completing my jobs, I realized that my submission was failed.
Sometimes, I were lucky although I were the last two persons or the last one person to submit my tasks and it was successfully done.
Anyhow, forever we never know the real reasons of the problem we encountered.

Hi aeiou!
I had that incident too wherein I still tried doing a task even if it is just two slots left and was luckily accepted! I don't know if too many workers do a certain task and was first to submit before me that's why my work was paused or not accepted or are they just cheating us.
Yeah,you're right about we will never know what's the real reason behind it,we just have to be patient and do some other tasks. Goodluck to all of us,lol!

I earn more in Microworkers than here in mylot. You just have to do some tasks you know you can do and voila,you get paid for it!
Just tell me if you have more questions about that site,will help you.

I’ve experience d the “paused by the system” thing and I agree that it is extremely annoying because every time it happens it means we have done the job for free and that is not the idea of the site! It is a shame because I have been very happy with Microworkers and they have proved to be very reliable. If only they would fix this issue, it would be an almost perfect earning site!

Hi paula!
Yes,it's my favorite site actually and makes me sad why we are encountering such! I know my net is slow but I felt cheated when I submitted my proofs in just seconds and before doing it,I saw there are no workers who has done it yet as in 0/40 so I said mine will be accepted! But it wasn't and I encountered it 4 times,that's too much!
I wish the admin will do something about this.

Yes,I encountered this and it's very annoying;there are jobs which require to cop and then paste URLs or sentences in the proof box and when you've done doing that and see that message it's really unpleasant.It means that all your efforts were useless and I really hate it when that happens.

Oh I know exactly how you feel polaris!
I know what task it is,it's digging an article and you still have to copy paste the last sentence of the article and my net is taking quite some time to fully upload it so I can copy the last sentence,argghh!
Truly it's a waste of time when we are being paused,grrr!!

from my experience, i just don't do the work with very little gap to the job limit ( you know what i mean right) for examples if the job already 280/300 then i will not do this job because the job will be paused or closed or something like that. If i do this job then i will do it but with consequence not getting paid with this job. That is the difficulting working in the microworkers. But the site really legit. I got the payment already. What about you ?

Hi iklananda!
Yes,I know what you are talking about. But I felt cheated when I saw 0/40 so that means I have a big chance my work will be accepted since there are still 40 slots allotted for me,I even submitted the task in seconds,oh my! Seems there are really lots of members working in microworkers.
Oh yes,I already got payment from them and I am happy with my earnings there. If only there are lots of available tasks in a day and if only I can do those PR1 categories,I can earn as much as $50-60 a month.

I haven't used Microworkers before. I do make use of Amazon Mechanical Turk sometimes, and it is very reliable. So maybe you would like to check it out and see if it's for you. It is noGt referral based. It's at mturk.com
Good luck to you!
