I decided to email PFA about their pay rate. Let's see if they respond. Maybe I was too negative in my email though. I should have been nicer

Wait, did they cut their pay again? Wasn't it 20 cents a hit and now it's 18. Wtf?

Tada! The Strange Script Question for Today.

Welcome to "The Strange Script Question for Today" show. Today's question izzz, izz there a script for HIT Scraper that will "hide" those instances where I've worked for a requester AND done the HIT with the same title (you know, the info we get from HIT DB that shows us a green " R" and a green " T " on the right side of the HIT Scraper screen). I don't want to add either the requester name or title to my exclude list but as it is now ... well, it's a question of "screen room."

As far as I know, there is no way to do this without blocking either the requester or the title.

They used to be 40 cents. Now they are playing a game of limbo.

Double post

yup.

Pretty obvious they're trying to see how low they can get the pay before people stop working on them.

 

[jnalleyne]

Double post

Shame. Their pay is already low for the amount of work they want you to do and they just keep continue to lower it. Oh well.

This guy says if I send him 20$ - I can inherit part of his fortune. He's worth billions, and he's a prince.

I think I can trust this guy, because he found my e-mail address.

Thoughts?
