    I think right now the government is more concerned about getting out of the economic mess than it is about coming after every person that makes money through multiple avenues. We had a huge discussion about this in my Political Science class. The United States is too close to becoming a failed state. The more money we make means the more money going into the economy. The IRS may not get a big chunk of money for our taxes, but they get it in other ways. I think right now they just have more to worry about. It truly is a loophole, but it is not worth the time right now to focus on going through each person and trying to figure out how much they made from each employer. I don't see the loophole changing anytime soon.

    It sucks to have mass rejections. It sucked when my % went from 99 to 96 from one requester. In the end though, there isn't much we can do. I have to get a few thousand to get my rating back up so I do a ton of penny hits when there is nothing else to do. I am getting it back up there. All you can really do is know not to continue to work for the person that rejected you, and warn others when you see them going all in. Before I found this forum I did not know about TO or anything like that. Now I know to always check TO before working. I learn from each of you. I also hope that others can learn from my mistakes. None of us are perfect. I wouldn't let it get you down so much.

    I feel much better about staying ignorant about and/or ignoring the IRS. I mean, they never care about collecting money they are owed...and they talked about it in a political science class.

    Reading the passage should take no less than 5 seconds, no matter how fast you read. From there, I highly doubt that you can answer 15 fields in 1/3rd of a second each, even with keyboard shortcuts. 5+5=10, double your number, and this work is still likely to be low quality.

    Requesters CAN and DO view the time per HIT, and if I saw a time that low for a similar HIT, I would reject and block immediately.

    I honestly hope that you are exaggerating, because to make a claim like this really hurts your argument.

    $20 a day is my personal goal. I have 3 kids and am a full time student. The days that I make $35 or more are on weekends and this past week since school has been out. One thing I have learned is to check in on this forum regularly. Before finding this forum I did 1,000+ hits and would work all day just to reach my goal because I was just doing the small hits that posted in batches. Lately I have been able to make $20+ in a few hours with surveys, Rubin, and a few other requesters. I slept in this morning started messing around a bit at around 9am took a few breaks and had $20 by 1pm.

    I have a feeling Rubin will be back up tomorrow with some changes to their HIT. They also have to approve the ones from the last days. He'll take care of it lol

    PFFFT, I think he's sayin' the truth. I finished those in 15 seconds.




























    JK. I'm fast AF with HITs and I decided to not work on those after doin' 2 of em due to it takin' longer than 30 seconds, so I def think 30 seconds or less is mightily short in order to maintain quality.

    Having Andy around "Thanking" people for posts makes me nervous. I know he's always around, but it's like the difference between knowing the cops patrol a certain road and actually seeing the lights behind you. :|

    Eh, no worries.
    Never heard of the guy banning anyone unreasonably... Or at all, come to think of it.

    Be careful. You can get perma-banned if you make another account. We don't need Andy9 on here.

    I think he probably banned himself unfairly...I mean, I know there are a lot of posts to go through, but we were just joking around with each other. Taken in context he didn't really seem to cross the line. :|
