I wouldn't bother anyway - they still have massive problems with the whole project. Its annoying through when you get accepted but you cant work on it.

Yeah it is annoying a bit with whole login thing, nothing ever seems to run smoothly with these jobs, but if it's as bad as you say then that makes me feel better as I won't be missing anything.

Still waiting for the appen tool (formerly Figure Eight) to authorise my password.

Super glad I got up at 6am to work before the kids start school work on Forester to find someone has QA'd my work incorrectly leading to a batch of unpaid rework. I have attempted it and would change nothing about it as it was correct in the first place. I refuse to do the rework as there's nothing wrong with it and have sent an email informing them of this. They've removed me from the QA team as apparently my score has dropped. So this may be the end of the road for me with this task. They had been looking to take on more people so perhaps they are just vying to cull people. Grr I'm really annoyed!

Is it usual that you just get removed from things with no prior warning?

Yup. I got removed from a project a couple of years ago because apparently I'd "spotted a process error and the client doesn't like it". Shame they didn't want their project to be either correct or useful, but, you know, just ditch the freelancer and be done with it...

since I’ve disputed it I have had an email back saying they will remove that rework (unpaid) and replace it with other rework tomorrow. I think they’ll be struggling to find anything that needs a rework. But let’s see what tomorrow brings! I guess they can just ditch people like this as there’s people queuing up to take my place.

It's always worth disputing it just to be (the right kind of) difficult. Especially if you know you're right.

I have just had a link to work on Bane. I had a quick look and it looked like it could take a while to do 20. Do you have to have it done in the hour or is it just that you can only bill for the hour? I don't mind going a bit over the hour until I get used to it but don't want to do it until I get to say 17 and then have it cut off and not get paid.

If you take more than 3 minutes per task you're timed out. I say three minutes but I've got a timer running for 2:40 which alerts me, so I know I've got 20 seconds left, I've hit enter before the 2:40 and twice been timed out.

So now I'm basically putting anything in and will no doubt get booted for poor quality. But not sure what else they expect when you're giving people 2 minutes. You don't get quality with those time constraints.

Having recently had my baby and my partner now without work as self employed I decided I needed to find some work from home again.
I was contacted to invite me to complete the Bane tasks so everything is set up and now I can't find the tasks!
Can anyone direct me as I keep getting error messages. I think the site is being dodgy......

Set a timer, it gives you 3 minutes maximum. Also don't rate anything as inappropriate or too vague as you'll get booted.

I mustn't be very dextrous then as I either don't shut down each tab or then I run out of time!

On chrome if you hold down ctrl you can just click each link and it will open in the background.

Makes it a little easier, and I close the tabs after I’ve hit submit as it can take a second or two to load which is plenty of time to just hit the x on the tabs open in the background.

I’m 100% sure I’m not meeting whatever their quality standards are but they can’t expect people to given those the time constraints. So I’ll keep on until I get booted for poor quality work.

I have asked them to take me off it as I don't want to waste time on a job that is not going to be finished in time.

I've since asked them to take me off it rather then wait and get kicked off. Seems like it is too much rushing for the time they give.

yep - Its the only project where Im rushing to do the tasks in the hour. But the minute you rush you are off the project.

Hi everyone,
A quick question, I received a text through on Thursday about Bane Curation, they said that an email had been sent, however, I have still haven't received anything through. Perhaps a dumb question but how do I get onto the Bane curation?

Thank you.
Katy

Hi Katy

The bane project is very hit and miss and they will send you an email about once a month for work. You can always send a ticket to ask to send the email again.

You dont get a lot of work through this project through and they seem to change the guidelines frequently. See the above messages.
