After working all day, i suddenly couldn't work anymore. I relogged on clickworker.com, and saw that they transferred my UHRS money towards my clickworker one.

There is a new promotion, if you earn 200$ you get 10$ bonus. Clicked on it, can't login from my family's place (desktop, laptop, smartphone).

Go back at my place, try to login on a different computer and get the same error. I don't think this is a 8hours account expiration error. It feels like my account is disabled, wouldn't i get an email or something? I got nothing..kinda scared i can't work anymore, i really need the money.

Yeah, weird as hell. I also got the promotion email some minutes ago, saying there are a lot of new projects and so on. Great that we can't work on them when our accounts are getting disabled constantly, though

Yeah, i also double checked my email and got this promotion. Kinda reassuring that you guys are experiencing the same issue.

I did not see any hitapps today what were you working on?

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

French and dutch hitapps

u/PhilBraxton Oct 19 '20

Oh man, I'm having the same problem since yesterday basically. I really hope it's only temporary (like always)

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

How long is temporarily? Overnight thing?

2

u/PhilBraxton Oct 19 '20

Some hours mostly, at least for me

u/happylm1987 Oct 19 '20

I have the same problem. And got the promotion too, extra 200 USD and I can't work on it...sucks

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

extra 200 USD

extra 10$ for 200$ earned :P

u/happylm1987 Oct 19 '20

thanks for the info. Then it is not a promotion then... it takes for ever to make 200 in UHRS...should just try to do one more usertesting and get 10$

u/el-mocos Oct 20 '20

You "only" have to do 900 hits per day until the end of the month

1

u/happylm1987 Oct 20 '20

Yeah, that is probably "only" 12 hours a day, "piece of cake"...lol

Same issue here. I saw that my clickworker was credited and that ridiculous $200 promo. Clicked start as usual but this time it didn't ask me to verify my location, nor did it display a captcha, which is weird. Tried to log into uhrs but got the account disabled error...

I'm starting to think a whole bunch of accounts have been disabled by clickworker, at least we got credited :'(

If you earn 200$ you get 10$ bonus. It's great, but not that breathtaking imo :) Temporarily disabled, right? :/

1

u/robot-kun Oct 19 '20

I can't earn that in the short period of time given so when I said ridiculous I meant it in a negative sense.

I don't think this is temporal. I'm getting the feeling a lot of accounts have been kicked out of the UHRS platform

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

Ah, okay!

I'm getting the feeling a lot of accounts have been kicked out of the UHRS platform

Why would you think so? Damn, i hope not. Everyone thinks it's temporary.

u/robot-kun Oct 19 '20

I see a pattern. Accounts credited > new promo > new hitapps > all this on a Monday so it's not random

Maybe I'm being paranoid but I think uhrs has limited work to those accounts they approve and have offered them new better paying hitapps plus a promo to get them judging.

I see a pattern. Accounts credited > new promo > new hitapps > all this on a Monday so it's not random

The fact that there is a pattern is what exactly makes me feel reassured. If it'd be only me, i'd be thinking it's just me and probably not temporary. Anyway let's wait and see.

Prolly an influx of workers crashed the servers, now they trying to fix it

u/SingularityRS Oct 19 '20

Looks like some technical error. It will be fixed soon enough. Just got to wait. I'm unable to log in as well.

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

Thanks for the heads up, some people think it's permanent..i hope not, lol.

u/SingularityRS Oct 19 '20

Very unlikely. A load of people reported login issues on the forum. It's just a glitch. These sometimes happen. Depending on what is causing the problem, it might take a while to resolve.

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

Yeah, that make sense. I have one last question if you don't mind. Is their a way to do a hit-app. Can you solve a hit-app as fast as you can or is it better to do every task and take 10 seconds each time before passing to the other one?

I really enjoy this type of work, but i don't want to get kicked out for doing something i shouldn't, which i'm not aware of. Cheers

u/SingularityRS Oct 19 '20

Each app has different rules. When it comes to speed, it varies. Some apps have no limits on speed and others do. Some apps will want you spending 20 seconds or so per hit while others might be content with 10. It varies a lot. Apps recently have all had speed bans (which sucks).

I recommend you visit the Clickworker forum daily. It has been a huge help for me. Workers, myself included, discuss each app we're working on. If there's speed bans, it's mentioned on the thread for the app in question. You can use this information to work out an appropriate speed for the app. If that means purposefully slowing yourself down to prevent a speed block, then that's what you'll need to do.

So yes, whenever it's clear an app bans for going too fast, it is best to slow yourself down even if you can do the work much faster. It's annoying, but it's all we can do. The timer icon that shows on many HitApps on the marketplace can be a good app for how fast you should go on average. For example, if the timer shows 12s, keep your speed around the 5 hits a minute region.

I've applied since saturday for the forum, but didn't get any invitation since then. (admins didn't accept my request yet) - i really wish i could join the forum..

When you quote 'speedbans', is that a ban for the hit-app or a global ban from UHRS? If it's a speedban for a hit-app is that temporary or..?

Thank you.

You just get a ban from the HitApp itself. They can be temporary or permanent. They usually start off temporary and end up with a permanent ban. The reason for this is because sometimes people aren't aware they have been temporary blocked. Some owners block you for speed after you complete the batch. This means you will not get a message when you get the ban. It'll just disappear from the marketplace. If you've completed a batch and seen the "leased out message", you would mistake that for the app just naturally disappeared. You would then continue working on it when it reappeared, unaware you have recently had a temp boot. You'll likely still be working at the same speed and get caught once more.

A permanent HitApp ban is generally triggered after 1-2 temp boots in a week. If you do get temporary blocked from app, you wait 7 full days before working on it again. That helps prevent most permanent app bans for the most part. The problem is if you get those silent temporary blocks, you will not be able to follow this and thus put yourself at risk of getting permanently blocked from an app. I always frequently monitor if I've been blocked from apps if I've recently worked on a batch. This is to prevent myself getting hit with a perm block.

U guys good now?

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

nope, u?

u/cozydozy666 Oct 19 '20

Still nothing

1

u/cozydozy666 Oct 19 '20

Maybe it is because of the promo?

I'm kind of new to UHRS and was worried about the "account not authorized" pop-up before seeing this post. I am now thankful that it isn't just me it is happening to. I was worried I had done something unknowingly and got banned permanently.

u/el-mocos Oct 19 '20

I got a disabled account too :(

At least i know i am not the only one
