What's happened to Micro Workers?

I've been using the site for quite some time now and have successfully reached and received payout a few times. However, now when I try to use the site any tasks I complete are not showing up as being completed, therefore they don't get approved and I don't get paid. Although they have a support page with FAQ, etc I can no longer find a way of contacting them. Have they turned into a scam site? Because that's how it seems at the moment!

I've experienced it too before and I think it is due to so many workers submitting their proofs. Microworkers is having difficulty with their traffic from their workers at a certain time. When this happens,I just repeatedly submit my proof until it is seen in the "tasks I finished" list. Don't worry,the site is not a scam. I always get paid there.

You could be right. Hopefully all will be resolved soon.

I've done everything possible and I can confirm that Microworkers are now just a scam site.

Just be patient in submitting your proof, after all, we deserve to get paid, right? It's our obligation to see if our tasks were submitted successfully.

I have had the same issue and it seems to be linked to your temporary success rating. This drops when you are waiting for a task to be approved and when it is below 75% none of the tasks you do will complete. It's very frustrating as sometimes you have to wait 7 days until you can do anything again, although it doesn't seem to affect the HG jobs, unless the rating is 0%.

I do realize this but it's not the problem, my success rate is 100%.

Have you checked your TEMPORARY success rate as well? That seems to be causing the problem for me.

Ah, that would make sense I guess. Maybe they should be reviewing completed work quicker than at 7days then for new members if this is the case? As many people would decide it's not working and not worth it. I will wait until my pending gets a result and then try again. Thank you for the info. Have marked your comment with a + as it's very useful to know.

I am using Microworkers and until now I do not see any problem using their system. I reached four cash-out with them and I love the site. I think you are referring to some task that we finished and then it is says auto postpone, for me this is just normal although we already consume our effort and time.

Sorry it is not consume, it is spent!

Hmm I have checked to see if the tasks were postponed but they weren't. I can submit my proof, it's just not showing up in the 'submitted tasks' section for some reason.

Hello android... I have never hadsuch problem like yours. Today submitted two tasks and they were all success. Maybe The task you had chosen had reached the limited workers. Try to do tasks faster :)

Both my success rate and my temporary success rate are 100%.

Eh, and don't forget to check your succes rate. It influences your ability to do tasks. If you have submited more than 20 tasks in period of 60 days and your success rate goes below 75% you will not be able to submit tasks for 1-30 days.

The tasks I've done are approved slower recently but they do approve the tasks. I just wonder whether they will become scam since they didn't accept withdrawal through PayPal.

They didn't use Paypal again cause they could be banned by Paypal and lose their money.

:O really ? So what they use to pay the workers now ? I am new in Microworkers and haven't reedem my payment yet.
26 Jan 12
They use Alertpay and Moneybookers only. I really hope that PayPal will be used again soon.

I am experiencing this also. I have completed 12 tasks in 2 days and only 1 of them is showing up as pending. The rest have disappeared. I expect there is a glitch on the server and they will be trying to remedy the situation.

Yes, this is the exact problem. It's not showing up in the list of submitted tracks therefore it's not pending approval from the employer. I've been trying for a week or so now.

There are so many changes in MW and It is supported by Alert Pay for payments now, not Paypal.Mw has always been high handed but I did not know they are not approving tasks or their site is down.

This is site is legit site I am working since last 6 months and get payment at one time. But if your ratio is less then task is not received and some task creator take more time for approving the task. My some task approved after 15 days. So dont worry about site.

As explained above it's nothing to do with any of this. I have received payment from them twice before. I know how to use the site. They have simply blocked me from doing any tasks for no reason.
