Got 3 wrongful rejections from Cloud Labor reversed! I'm glad I contacted the requester because they were super prompt and helpful and confirmed that I had, in fact, done the task correctly and it was an error on their part. I'd considered just taking them (it was the "Annotate short English texts for emotion" and I thought maybe it was a majority rules type deal) and I've only got 4 rejections to my name thus far out of 9000 hits, so my account could handle it, but... I was pretty sure I'd done the task right (and enjoyed it) so I figured.. what the hell, worst that can happen is they stick.

But, yeah... PSA: Contact requesters if you think the rejection is unwarranted!

DannyTater lowered pay again and that's a good enough reason to say tuck is scam. (I'm also going for the 80 posts in one day trophy since getting the grossed out trophy seems impossible.)

Does anyone know if a bonus is given during approval or during getting actually paid?

Glad to hear that! I did a bunch of their hits with no trouble but nice to know they are good about responding if there is a problem.

Depends on the requester. I've had some send bonuses immediately but wait for their HITs to AA (at 3/5/7 days), others that pay the bonuses weeks after approving the work.
