I just login to my micro workers account and I found one interesting task. At that time, there are 3 lots left for this task. So I decided to do this task. It just a simple task actually, go to a website and click ads. When I finish clicking them, I submit the proof as requested.
And what do I get in return?
It said "This task is paused by the system" .. More less something like that. So I have been wasting my time by doing this task. Have you experienced the same?

Its because the assigned slots have already been completed after you finished the task. When doing tasks you must be fast enough to complete it especially if there are only few slots left, as there are many micro workers doing a specific task all at the same time.

Yeah I thought the same thing. But it doesn't matter how fast you are, if so many people are taken the task before us, then we still get the same paused system message. I like the task runs by mylot. If someone want to take the task, they need to book it first. It can avoid problem like this.

yeah i have tried that a couple fo times already... but it is how things work there.. that is why you have to watch the number of accomplished tasks before you decide to work on it...and should decide if you think you could finish it in time before all the tasks are used up by other members...
if you think it would run out anytime, better take other tasks -- they might be more worth your time.

Ya, i have experienced it many times, It is due to if the task provider ends the task or no of slot for the task have me completed. I think to avoid this Accept the task & finished the task faster & submit it immediately when a task has a small slots left.
