I know, I've posted there. I made it a point to post here because 1.) It's qual-related, and 2.) I wanted everyone to see it, and not everyone goes to sad pandas. I wanted to see if people would stop high-fiving each other for one damn minute and see that the constant gloating over quals and earnings has an effect on other people. Like most things I post, it's largely ignored...what else is new? I spent three hours on that test in the dead of night, making sure I got everything right, and it still wasn't good enough, because my longitude was off by two thousandths of a degree? Are you fucking kidding me?

There are several valid concerns expressed here.
People should be able to express their joy when good things happen. How it affects you is up to you, not them.
No one is really ignoring you on purpose, but this forum does move quickly.
These hits require perfection. I have mentioned it this many many times over the months. People lose their quals for silly little mistakes and coordinates that are not right on the house. You need to learn from this and move on.
It is ok to be upset, but remember to fail is human. Fail should mean First Attempt in Learning for you.

Good luck!

Edit: FYI I failed my first attempt at this qual test. I learned from it and applied what I learned to the next attempt and got it

That really blows you were that close and I can tell you're frustrated. Idk what method you used to find the coordinates but it can help to right click on the map zoomed all the way in to the center of the property and get the coordinates that way. Then to double check you can enter the coordinates back in to google maps to make sure its right. Bing or other mapping services can be better for properties too. The hits are really involved and your google fu skills need to be sharp. Double and tripple checking across services really helps. Hope that helps folks who want to try again next time

I ate it/them.

It's probably best that you don't go into detail. I might eat my phone.

We don't talk about those evil things here.

One day they'll finally be gone & so many will post about how they miss the olden days when they made all that money off of 5s (I won't cause I failed the qual test).

This clumsy?

Just one note. It shouldn't be on the center of the property, but on the center of the house. Check with satellite view it is on the house.

I'm just happy I have that Gaze Following qual. That's a gold mine.

Which one if you don't mind me asking?

I like you. I understand your feelings. I spent almost two years making 15 or 20 dollars a day till I got a closed qual.. I felt like I earned the right to be like fuck yeah. I put alot of time suffering. That qual you tried is appearently stupidly hard. Not your fault. but you cant expect to punish others for doing ok. That's not fair. I hope you're able to get anotherr qual soon of something just as profitable. I'm rooting for you.

I just started turking again and hit 60 yesterday and 50 today which is awesome in my mind because I remember last year during the summer time it was dry as a bone. Seems like this year there is still a decent amount of work up in the morning and afternoon.

Problem for me, being on the west coast, morning in like middle of the night here and afternoon is early morning. I might have to try & wake up at 5am for a few hours, sleep, then go again.
