As we're a few days into October thought I'd set up a new thread ( but couldn't think of a creative title!)

Hope everyone had a good September and hopefully lots of earning to be had this month. Welcome to any newcomers.. I've (hopefully) copied the usual links over from the last thread but if you have any questions ask away, there's usually someone who can help Smile

I've just noticed my active processes on App had dropped a lot so picked some new ones to try to get onto- have a few people mentioned "fancy hat" upthread? Is it any good?

ZetaPuppis · 09/10/2021 21:58

Thanks for info on potato.
I’m so tired these days that I struggle getting on the two online platforms I’m on. My real life work has increased but I don’t want to give up the online stuff. Got to kick myself up the butt.

mydogisthebest · 10/10/2021 09:31

In the last couple of weeks I had been managing to get some shifts on potato but the last week there have not been any.

They must be taking more people on as the numbers are going up which is annoying

AnotherOne4 · 10/10/2021 14:43

Anyone managed to get Sl working yet? I tried logging in using my SD account, but I get the whitelist error. I then tried logging in using the S*t account, and although that logs in, I'm not sure how to access work. Should it just appear? Or should I still be waiting for proper log in info. Confused

CocoPrivileges · 10/10/2021 16:34

@AnotherOne4 I think I've managed to log in using the link in the email they sent, but there doesn't seem to be any work on there...

AnotherOne4 · 10/10/2021 17:14

@CocoPrivileges Oh well that's annoying! Did you get a new SRT log in email? (I have one for SD, and one for St, should I be getting a new one for SC?)

CocoPrivileges · 10/10/2021 18:07

@AnotherOne4 The only email I had one was called "SRT invited you to use Workplace"...so I clicked on that to join Workplace. Then I think I managed to log in from the SC project in Ap. But I've hit another problem as it says I need to link my SRT account to my personal FB account but I don't have a FB account!

AnotherOne4 · 10/10/2021 18:14

@CocoPrivileges nothing is ever easy with Appen lately is it lol

YonderTweek · 10/10/2021 21:33

Ahh I wasn't invited to Sl. Sad But I have been caning C**n for the last four days and there's so much work! It's a bit like SD in that I can watch Netflix and take it easy whilst I do it, and I am delighted. Smile I hope it lasts! I am so grateful because I have had such a shit two-ish months and I'm just happy to be making some money. Yay.

How's everyone's A**r going? I think I'm actually having a decent round this time. Only had one bit of tat so far. Grin

If this is the one where the hat is that of a royal, then yes it's good. Would recommend if you can get your SRT to work. Smile
Catatemyhomework · 10/10/2021 21:52

I have been offered Cr*n too. However, I'm not sure how to log on. I used my Suth SRT and it said I need to have my IP address white listed. I tried my St*t SRT and it says I don't have access. Am I meant to wait for further instructions? It is very frustrating as I so need to work!

8dpwoah · 11/10/2021 00:16

Oh I use SRT for Og so if I do get onto the bejewelled hat one then I'll expect the same issue... So many of them use SRT you'd think they'd have setting up a new project for an existing user nailed by now wouldn't you!

AnotherOne4 · 11/10/2021 08:15

@YonderTweek are you actually working sc yet?
I need to re read the guidelines, but don’t want to do that until work I ready (as I’ll forget!)

YonderTweek · 11/10/2021 09:37

[quote AnotherOne4]@YonderTweek are you actually working sc yet?

Nope. I didn't get the invite despite scoring quite high on the quiz. But I did fail so fair enough. Grin

Re. the fancy hat. I had SRT logins from Stt and they sent me an email with the same logins so that was fairly easily sorted. I have had various SRT accounts so I always try them all and hope for the best. @Catatemyhomework did you get any kind of invitation email? There was an email with a link to the correct SRT page where you can see the queues and stuff. It's annoying how the whole SRT thing is always such a faff! I lost Og because of it back in the day...

Catatemyhomework · 11/10/2021 10:06

@YonderTweek, thanks for your reply. So this is the email I received RE C*n:

Hello and thank you for your interest in An! You were selected to proceed to the next step in the qualification process. Your initial application to contract with An is complete.

  1. Access and sign the documents listed above in your A*n Con*t account, if applicable.
  2. Please wait for a message from the project team regarding the next steps (and/or additional qualification/assessment requirements).

So prior to this email from them I had another email saying I'd failed with 85% then they sent the above email so I'm assuming I have got on based on what is says. Did you get that email? If so, how long after that one did you receive log in details? I have tried all my SRT accounts and they don't work so I can only assume I must wait for more information but it was last week that I got the two emails from them so hoping it's soon.
Thanks

YonderTweek · 11/10/2021 11:12

@Catatemyhomework I did receive a separate Production email after the initial automated Welcome email. I just had a look and I applied on 1st October and was accepted on the 5th - maybe they're going by the order in which people applied? I thought I was quick to get in as I check the new projects every day and went nuts when I saw a new one. Grin Hope you get the email soon!

WizardOfAus · 11/10/2021 11:55

@ZetaPuppis

Is anyone still doing potato? Just wondering how it is currently.
I'm finding it incredibly slow again. I think they've recruited a bunch of new people. On Saturday night (traditionally a good time to make ££) it was just a trickle of content.
Catatemyhomework · 11/10/2021 15:16

@YonderTweek, thank you for that information. I can't remember when I applied. I think it was the 5th and then I got the email on the 7th PT I think. Then it was the weekend, so fingers crossed I hear something soon!

whysotriggered · 11/10/2021 16:44

Yep potato quiet again. Oh well.

Snowballs1 · 11/10/2021 17:37

Yes potato have been recruiting, earlier this year the members on slack got to over 800, then dropped for several months. The lowest number I saw was 646 a month or two ago, it is now at 693. I am hoping they are not aiming for 800 again!
First noticed that they haven't needed to offer any NM2 shifts recently, & now there's little content even in the middle of night when I am often awake.
Nobody from this thread on the waiting list has mentioned having to do their assessment, I think they have been recruiting from other time zones.

0htooooodles · 11/10/2021 17:53

I can't remember the last time I did potato. I'm lucky that I found a couple of things more permanent and it just seemed silly to carry on - I would literally log on do a couple and think I'm doing this for peanuts! That and it made me super anxious with no ongoing training.

Catatemyhomework · 11/10/2021 19:16

I passed the potato quiz in October 2019. Never heard back. Not that bothered now. 🤔

Snowballs1 · 11/10/2021 19:30

@0htooooodles I know what you mean, hate it when you are faced with a really long Reddit or Facebook post to check through knowing you will only get a few pence! It is surprising that they don't actually remove people who don't do the minimum amount &/or log in every 3 weeks as they say they will, so some of those numbers on slack will be pretty much inactive (& of course includes admin, management & other staff)

WizardOfAus · 11/10/2021 19:31

No idea why potato would recruit yet AGAIN. Last month there was decent content and the queues were still being well maintained.

This month they’ve added an extra 50 people and it’s back to being excruciatingly slow with no NM2 shifts and no chance of making money.

It's really annoying. I don't understand why the keep on taking more people when all it does is make it so slow. I guess all the workers that are on bespoke shift are ok.

I would love to know what their criteria is for accepting people onto bespoke
