Can't Find Good HITs? 1/14

There's also the 200 char and 200-700 char review moderation HITs up from CrowdSource.

 

Dear CrowdSource: Just because an article mentions Windows in passing does not mean there is enough information there to decide if the article is pro or anti Microsoft. Also, a video is not an article.

 

I just tell them it's neutral, and say what's up in the comments.
Same with it being a video/forum/some other stupid thing that's not an article.

Question:

I'm still in my 10-day probationary period (started turking on the 10th), and currently my balance is $0.00. Looking at individual hits, most of mine have been accepted, but none are marked as paid.

I understand that:
1) I can't have any of my money until after the probationary period
and
2) Accepted hits are not the same thing as paid hits.

My question is, when a hit pays out and you're still on the probationary period, does it remain as pending until after? On day 10, or 11, or whatever, am I going to just suddenly see a bunch of money drop into my balance, or do hits that have already been paid show as such even during this period, ie, if they still say payment pending when I'm allowed my funds, will I still be waiting?

 

I got so many of them in a row that I just quit. I don't know why they're so obsessed with Microsoft on those hits, but it seems like every single one has Microsoft as one of the terms. I think maybe it's time for me to stop turking tonight. I'm off to play a game, g'night all and good luck.

 

Yeah, it seems like the have spurts where they are all up in a couple of companies.
Have fun and good luck with your game!

 

They should stay pending until the 10 days or whatever. Once your period is up they wont automatically change from pending to paid and be in your account, it trickles down slowly. If they're already approved and pending they will pay within that day for sure.

 

No I haven't had a Tagasauris rejection yet, but I've returned hits from time to time that seemed iffy. The "age of the people" hits are kind of questionable, imo. One day they had an amazingly huge batch of "count the number of people in this picture" hits and I couldn't get enough of them. Boring and only 2 cents, but you can fly through them.
