Mylot task is Pissing me off

August 19, 2012 3:47am CST
I don't know what is wrong with the task people on mylot, they keep rejecting my completed tasks for flimsy reasons. At first I didn't just care but now when I think about the time and MB I waste on doing their task, I get very annoyed and something should be done to dispute this tasks. Please mylot admin and members how can I dispute my tasks. Imagine someone just rejected my task saying the reason for rejection is that the site is no longer active, wheras when I clicked on the site it was still very active. Is it fair? The person just scammed me and this is very wrong. I am not happy at all and please mylot admin should do something about this.

"What do I do if my work is rejected? If you feel your work has been rejected in error, you can contact the creator of the Task directly." http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq21.aspx#7 If you feel that you have a legitimate dispute about a task which is not being addressed by the task creator, you should contact MyLot using the contact link at the bottom of the page, selecting 'Other' as the category and giving full details of the task and of your complaint.

How to contact the task creator directly is the problem now. Now I went to that link and I now realise there are some tasks I did 6 months ago that's stiill pending. This is something my friend. They should really do something about this

MyLot specifically absolves itself of any responsibility to do with disputes between a task worker and creator. See the Terms: http://www.mylot.com/o/terms.aspx under the heading myLot Tasks. "You are solely responsible for your interactions with other myLot Members. myLot reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Members." Like ShiroiNooto, I think that there is legitimate cause for complaint here. If the task is still available in the Tasks menu, you might also use the Report function to comment on your problems with this particular task and task creator but I only suggest that as an additional method of letting MyLot know of the problem. The correct thing to do is to use the Contact form, as described.

That's not fair at all, I'm still a newbie here and have done just one task and was approved immediately. That was two years ago though. I'm sure this happens nowadays when lots of unserious wicked people create tasks and try to shy away from payments. After reading other comments here I doubt if it would be resolved. Just keep trying to contact the creators and also the admin.

I have the same doubts. Trying to contact the creators have been futile. So annoying you know

I had done about four tasks before but only managed to get one approved by the employer, the rest of them are rejected based on filmsy reason like you experienced, my complaint received no response, i am pretty much get fed up of it and decided to give up. Since then i never try to do any more task for Mylot's employers, they are just too sneaky for a poor member like me to handle. Those tasks are either pay only bread crumb with one or two cents for half an hour work, or just impossible to complete at all. I will advise you to forget about Mylot task and move on, treat it as a lesson for you and forget about the earning you are supposed you make, donate them to mylot .

Well, my friend, since you had tried over and many time, you still can't get your six dollar back, you are out of option now, either you can continue to write to mylot and argue with those cheapstake employers in Mylot days ahead, or you can forget about it, even though it is kinda hard, i understand what you meant... But you tried every hook and nook in the book, and from every angle you can find from Mylot members, they still refuse to pay you your well deserve $6, what you can possibly do again, there is no other way anymore.
20 Aug 12
OMG, how long ago was this. I have close to $6 in unpaid tasks. Cna I really forget about this? Wow. Its kinda hard you know

Ok, can someone please "nutshell" what is going on, and still leave in enough detail so I can start working on the issue. I have removed also one member already for posting tasks and attempting to make payment arrangements outside of the Paypal/Mylot relationship. Do not accept any tasks with require you to do this.
21 Aug 12
Were all of the tasks you had pending from this same member?
21 Aug 12
Nope, from different members. I would break it down for you. This is the one that made me open this topic- Member username: (coolmasti) 1month ago- http://www.mylot.com/w/task/19329.aspx OTHERS- 1) MemberUsername: (Lagvier) 12months pending task- http://www.mylot.com/nr/tasks/showresult.aspx?t=15013&r=160233 2) MemberUsername: (la chique) 5months pending task-http://www.mylot.com/nr/tasks/showresult.aspx?t=18444&r=194015 3) MemberUsername: (needforumposter) 4months pending-http://www.mylot.com/nr/tasks/showresult.aspx?t=18695&r=195464 4) Member: (proxiey) 3months pending- http://www.mylot.com/nr/tasks/showresult.aspx?t=18975&r=196695 5) MemberUsername: (george3527) 3weeks pending And many more but less than 3 weeks so there's a chance they are still reviewing the tasks. Hope you could view the tasks... Anyways most of the pending task creators seems to be out of mylot for good and there's no chance of them ever coming back like the 12months pending for instance,I just hope they didn't take the task money along with them when leaving the site.

Okay GoAlice, thanks for stopping by. This is as detailed as I can get: 1) I completed this taskk : http://www.mylot.com/w/task/19329.aspx and was waiting for payments but I was rejected by the task creator with username'' coolmasti'' and this was the exact reply he gave me- Sorry about that it was down from the last 1 month. I could see that it is up now. Please send us your Solitrustpay, Payza email address. I'll transfer the payment. My problem here is that he owes me money for taking the time to complete the task, I did what he asked and the website going out of business or going off the internet was not my fault, it wasn't part of our agreement. The most painful part of the story is that the website was never down and is up and running and when I confirmed this, I decided to raise an alarm. This was also triggered by the fact that he was asking for my account details to pay me outside mylot. 2) I have some tasks pending on my account, tasks I completed some 11months ago, I mean these tasks expired and the task creators never cared to review my task or pay me for the time spent of for doing the task. I have like 10 of these in my account, some of which are 5months, 3 months etc. I am in no positoin to make suggestions but mylotters would love it if after a specified number of months has passed and the creators do not pay up, the amount owed should be aautomatically credited to the task doers account. Like I said, I am in no positoin to make siggestions, I would be grateful if all my task problems are sorted out. If you need the links to the 3months plus pending tasks I can provide them here for verification. Thanks a lot Goalice.

I also did three tasks for one member here. He only paid me for one task with two tasks of still pending. I can't give him a message because I haven't added him as a friend!

My guess is you are talking about awesome kid tasks, I feel your pain, but don't worry, if he's the one then you don't have a problem sa he would approve or reject the tasks in time, he always does.just give him say 1 week more.

Well I have made close to $7 on mylot tasks. My main earnings come from there. What dos this mean? It means some task creators are honest and do really pay when you complete tasks well. Just go there, what you can do,pick ,and complete, and hope to get paid.

I feel the same. And especially sometimes I can contact with the task maker since we are not friends. So when he/she PM me, I can't reply to it. I have to send a friend's request at first, but sometimes there is no feedback after that. I love China
20 Aug 12
Its annoying I tell you, they won't accept your request and you cannot send them messages, if they can send you, mylot should provide a way for us the task doers to send them too. That way things would be fair. BTW, are you from china?

In my entire years as a myLot member, I only engage the myLot tasks once. And good to know that this particular task was approved and I think it only earned me less than $1.00. I never engage it anymore as most of the task only involves registering to a site and then the money earned is less very small.
20 Aug 12
Yes the mylot task amounts are really very small, unlike other sites where you get close to $3 per task. Anyways ew are still hoping mylot admin reviews their task.
