Annoying Tasks

Ever since the tasks were introduced here in MyLot, i have been looking forward to it everyday. But very recently, i noticed that there were tasks which are rather ridiculously priced. I guess some of this task creators have a very low regard for Mylotters that they think we are in desperate need of their few cents. I hope Mylot admin will have a way to regulate this issue and probably provide a minimum fee for tasks offered.

Im not sure which tasks you are talking about. I have noticed a lot of tasks lately that are people trying to get referrals for their other sites. But the other ones I see most are writing tasks that pay $2 and the link tasks that pay $0.20. I guess it all depends on how much time it would take for you to complete those tasks whether or not they are worth it. I guess it also is matter of how much you need the money! I dont think that there needs to a be minimum for the tasks. It is all a matter of what they are asking you to do. Some things are simple, so they obviously wont pay very much!

I think the referral tasks should be banned in general. Not for the reason of they dont pay enough, though. We arent allowed to post referal links in discussions, so why should we be allowed to do tasks as referals?

I am also noticing them recently.i dont like joining some sites for them as referral and get paid cents for that.i dont think mylot shold not encourage them for that or else there should be some other section where they can do just that.i dont like mixing them up here with tasks.

Did you see all the writing tasks there right now? They are under 'available' on the dashboard.

Well, i noticed the same and I guess you are referring to tasks which are started by fellow mylotters. I am not able to stay longer to Mylot these past few weeks and months due to my review. Everytime I'm on Mylot, I would proceed to "Tasks" assuming I might able to finish few tasks to gain my earnings. However, most of the "available tasks" require so much time accomplishing them which is very impractical to Mylotters like me who can't spend long time online.

I am agree with you i also saw some task which will pay 3 cents. I think its very little with effort we will be doing. Our task that we will be doing will be a great income or earning with them then they will just give a little cents, hope you think about your offer. And i hope there will be easy task =) Well goodluck to all of us.

Some of us are indeed desperate for a little extra cash. You are actually lucky if you make 50 cents to a dollar an hour, however they know that you have the option of doing or not doing the tasks. There is also a large pool of people out there. I would imagine if they are not getting their tasks done they will have to raise the rates, it is sort of supply and demand. I am not criticizing myLot because there are other sites that provide tasks and the pay is more of less the same.

It's clear that they see people are desperate for the money. I myself just need the dollars, which I can't get into a foreign account otherwise than earn it here. So I grin and bear it. It paves the way to more productive actions in the future. In other countries outside of South Africa bandwith seems to be a lot cheaper, which makes it wortwhile to go for a meager few cents, but for us her it becomes very expensive.

eheh..beh about tasks may people here can be a little bit surprised about them and so it neds much work than posting or normal activity on the community!!So yes sometimes tasks are not rewarded as good...but in many cases these are tasks almost quickly if you compare to the 4 paragraphs which it will pay you 2.00$ but as you guess it is not easy to complete it and so to be accepted as well!! So i guess in the future even tasks willl be much improved here!!will see..
