Why communicating with the one who is giving myLot task is impossible?

I have been rewarded for two or three write-ups which I have submitted here but just recently another three of my write-ups were rejected, all containing the same reasons - that they contained multiple spelling syntax and grammatical error. So ironic because I'm very much particular with grammar and spelling. Besides, I have the articles spell-checked before submitting them. I may acknowledged the employer's comment of lack of clarity in my write-up but not the multiple spelling syntax and grammatical error. You may say that I have to discuss this thing with the employer then. Well, how can I ask her to elaborate on this issue when I couldn't even send her a message unless she accepts my friend request. Another thing, one of the pre-requisites in sending a friend request to employer so that you can send in your message is to fill-in the email address of the friend you wanted to be included in the list. huh? how would I know when we're both strangers? Before one can send in a private message, first your friend request must be accepted. What if it will be declined? If this will be the case, how can clarify things with the person concerned? In other sites, providers or writers are protected of their right by the ones managing the site. Here in myLot the transaction is between the employer and the provider only so when problem like those I have mentioned earlier crops up, we don't know where to send our queries. Sigh.

I understand your point. I recently joined and posted task that required poepole to contact me before taking the task for instructions soon to find out that task were being completed and such which did me any good since my instructions couldn't have been carried out. I have 2 articles now that need to have minor work done to that pays pretty decent but since I can't communicate with the worker like i need then ill just find other means to get my articles finished

You're right boatrizzle... that is what I noticed here in MyLot. I have been doing some freelancing writing jobs in other sites and the communication with the task creator is very much open. Infact,they do guide you on how to make your work better. Here in MyLot you have no choice but submit first your work and when you don't pass the task creator's standard then it's good bye. Fine if the reason for rejection is justified. I just want to find out from the task creator why the reason of numerous spelling syntax..etc when I'm very much particular with spelling and grammar. The task creator would have reasoned out that I was not able to express my thoughts so well then that would have made me try my luck again. Now I'm discourage to work on article task posted here. I guess, it's worth the job in other other sites. What's nice though about here is that you communicate with other myLotters and learn from them as well. :)

It is depend on you that you want to continue communication with task owner or not.. I think on these days the tasks are available in very less quantity.. so now i am concentrate on discussions.. yes because i want to increase my rating .. and it will only increase by discussions.. not from task..

Thanks for replying. Actually there are tasks available almost daily if you just monitor the task tab from time to time. However, I find it not worth sharing our writing-skill anymore if I can't even get in touch with the task creator if problem like this crops up. I guess I better follow your suggestion or better off try my luck in other sites like oDesk and more. Writers are protected of their right there.
