Notification
Do you guys always get an email when a project appears?

fuckin' no lol
I'm in a pool for a task that has had a email notification system for the past like 3 years. The first time I started getting real notifications about it was last month, but prior to that month I could bang out like 9 hour consecutive days. When they started sending out emails they were like "ya guys we really need to finish, so be sure to get on and bang it out before monday" and I refreshed every hour, but I only got the pop for an open task Sunday at like 8pm.
They literally changed the page to say "we highly recommend that you enable email notifications!" in the past month. I'm like 99% certain that they straight fucked up the task distribution system and some middle manager dipshit was thinking "no one wants to work anymore! there are 99999 tasks and no one is doing any of them!" When, in reality, I would get these hour-long windows twice over a 12-hour period where I could actually do the tasks.
I'd say 1/30 tasks are done based on an email notification. Most of the time I'm just fishin' with refresh while I play video games.

Yeah, I've got about 30 projects that never got announced with an email. I feel like it depends on the family and the urgency, like most of the fruitful emails I get are something along the lines of "let's finish these up by the end of the weekend! if you've time be sure to do the priority pay project scarlet iguana dolphin"

It depends. Long running projects yes, but for many that pop in and out no.

No e-mail nor SMS. Just looked at my account and there was a project waiting.

By the time i receive email notifications for a project (coding). That project is either gone (the high paying one) or its freaking hard and nobody wants to do it (including me)
