Hello friend, Do you have ShortTask account? How much do you believe it is rewarding good. I have tried it but I am observing that, here task creators are rejecting so much. Also the tasks are not well described. What do you think?

I've tried ShortTask a while ago, but gave up on it, I don't like that site at all.
I did 20 tasks and 16 of them got rejected - I have almost 2,000 tasks completed on Mechanical Turk and not a single rejection so far, so I honestly don't believe the high rejection rate was my fault, I think people who post jobs there are just taking unfair advantage of their options.
I also didn't like the types of jobs posted there, many were asking you to spam other people's addresses, blogs and websites, so I quit.

You are absolutely right. Many spams here. I have also noticed that they are not posting again the rejected tasks. If actually the submission is not good, then they should post it again. I think they are just taking the work and rejecting the work intentionally not to give the reward.

Nice thread from you, I want to clear some think about short task. Short Task is a legit site, and I saw a payment friend from my close friend. But problem is That site doesn't have much work to do.. all are asking to sign up. So no one is ready to sign up and nobody want get the spam mails in our mail box.

I think 95 % of their work is only related to sign up. But it is legit, i also believe. Thanks for the response.
