The task creators i mean here is some people on microworkers.com.
Today, i saw some HM tasks( hire me tasks). One of them is titled:Automobile:search +click. Well, as you all know, those HM tasks are usually pay us more less. That is ok, because right now i got no other tasks to do. So i try to do it, but after i submit my task, it says: Sorry but all positions for this job have been submitted or locked.
Well, it is ok there are no slot for the task, but the truth is not. The task is still on there, and it still cheating others to do it. In fact, when i choose a task, i will be very careful, not choose those have only a few slot left. Because i am afraid others maybe quick in doing the tasks, then when i finish it, there is no slot left.
I just wonder why the task creator use such mean ways to make money. They cheat others to do tasks, but not pay at all.
Now it is still there.

Sometimes I will also meet such kind of problems. It is very annoying because the number shows that there are still a few of available people who can finish the tasks. But then after I finish my task and the time seems to be up as it tells me that this kind of taks is not available any more. This can be annoying and discouraging. So sometimes I will try to finish the task as soon as possible, especially when I notice that the available tasks are not so many left.
I love China

Hi,my friend. It seems all of us meet such problems. I know most the task creators are honest and the site is a prestigious website, and it is trustworthy. But sometimes i really understand why the strange things happen. And it always happens on some certain ones. I have not report any bad tasks to the administrators. Because i always say to myself, maybe it is my fault, maybe there is some problem of the net. But can we always tell us this if for certain tasks, it always use such tricks again and again.

Hi,adhyz, i feel there are more and more bad tasks there now, some of the tasks, when you follow the creator's instruction, you can't do it. Some of the task always put such thing as 245/246(means there is only one slot left). Well, after you have tried, and submit it, it will says: it has stopped, and will be resumed again. Well, it means what you have done can't earn anything. But the creator got what he want.
Then maybe after some time, the same task appear again, with the same number 245/246, which means it still needs one person to do the task. Isn't it a lie?

Well, I never feel that on microworkers but I do have felt it at minuteworkers and myeasytask.
In that site, not only the task creators who done it.But also the workers.
Note that, on every task it have an id.Always copy it in order to report it when it happen again.

Maybe you just have not tried that kind of tasks, so you have not experienced such things, anyway, there are lots of kinds of tasks there. Since i don't have PR1-5, so i can't do those high paid tasks there, and i can only do some simple ones.

Not all the HM tasks are bad. I once did two HM tasks, and get paid one day later. Some of the tasks i find can't do. Such as this one with one of the step as following:
Wait for 5 seconds. The blog will redirect to another blog ending with www.C.......petrol.com.
No matter how long i wait, it just doesn't redirect to another blog. Therefore when i see it again, i won't touch it.

wow, you work for microworkers too. i got that but i cant open it. it may be cause of too many workers open it at the same times, thus we cant open it untill the job finished. it is not cheating. but i am so sad, i got so many misrated jobs, by "comement and link to messageonnecklace". not only me, but so many worker complain about it. i have reported him to the admin but no response. i worry about my temp succes rate now. getting lower

Hi,wulania, i can open it, and have successful done it, therefore, when it says those words, i feel been cheated. Another reason i say the creator is a cheater because after that, the task is still there, and last for a long time.

Hi, it is a trustworthy site, and you can earn pretty quick in the site, i just mean there are some bad tasks creators. I do hope i misunderstand them. I do hope they are reliable.
Don't leave it, most task creators are honest. You can trust them.
