hi i just joined microworkers and have done more than 15 tasks but i am confused about the temp rating.My most of the task are pending for more than 3 or 4 days so i am unable to so more than 2 task a day because my temporary rating goes below 75%, if i pick more than 2 task. So are there any ways to uplift the limit of task that can be done per day.

Tasks can pend 7 days max at Microworkers... There was a time where I had more than 100 tasks validated during the past 30 days, so this temp rating was not a problem. Today, I have less than 10, and I avoid tasks when I know that the task giver will wait a week and let Microworkers validate it : it is often the case for tasks like "subscribe to my youtube account" or "digg my article", because you can unsubscribe and undigg later
.
Except if you already have done tasks for the task giver and know that he/she is rating fast, there is no way to avoid this, but as I said, when you will have more tasks validated in the past 30 days, it will be less and less a problem. This temporary rating is new -- it appeared a few months ago -- and irritating for old users like me : I had hundredths of tasks validated at Microworkers, and the rule applies to anybody, because Microworkers looks only at tasks done during the past 30 days and counts for nothing your % of total success and length of service...

yeah, that's the problem with microworkers. most of the employers take long time to approve. but it's legit and you will be auto approved as satisfied if the employer doesn't rate in 7 days. Also there is a new site called Microjob where you can earn higher than microworkers and you will be approved fast. check my profile for the link.

@robin90: for the tasks rated "non satisfied" they also count only for 30 days. But caution : if your % goes under 75%, you can be suspended for a month. You can read in the guidelines : 4 "(...) rate. If the rate goes below certain %, worker will not be able to submit tasks for the next 30 days." and in the FAQ "As a Worker, you must maintain your actual Success rate (1) above 75% at all times."
@romeowildfire: I had a look at microjob. The minimum payout at $25 seems very high for me. Have you been paid by this site ?
