As soon as I finished posting that Wikio Experts reduced its cashout ceiling, Clickworker announced something better. Clickworker said that at the end of August, it will make weekly payments for all workers who use Paypal as a payment method. Those who opted for bank transfers are unaffected. So even if you have only 1 cent in your account, you are going to be paid at the end of each week.
This is good news for people who don't reach the €10 threshhold each month. Unfortunately, I've been busy with other gigs to do CW jobs. There were writing jobs last week and they were snatched up fast.
In addition, I was not too happy with the way the editing was done on my work primarily because the job description was all messed up (translated from German to English).
For most jobs, the passing scores are the following:
Author for English texts - 75%
English proofreader - 75%
POI address assessments - 92%
Training opportunities - 92%
Address verification - 92%
I'm not too sure about the POI address assessment though as I only did some and did not find them worthy of my time.
As with all qualifications, you can maintain, increase or decrease your ratings. Each job you complete is reviewed by another worker or an editor for the English texts. So if you botched up a job, then your scores will go down. I've had my author score go down from 100% to 96% because of system errors and editor mistakes. If you email support, your ratings could be restored manually provided you justify that it was a system or editing error not yours.
The only jobs I did not try were editing tasks. Again, I feel that I don't have enough abilities to edit someone else's work correctly even if I qualified as a proofreader. Which makes me wonder if others who passed the proofreader's test take on jobs even if they are not really qualified to do so. Besides, the pay is too low for the amount of work I need to put in it. So for the time being, I'm not doing any editing jobs until I have read and reviewed my Chicago Manual of Style.
