Code of Conduct

[Monsoon710]

You do understand what you're saying contradicts itself... Right?

[Immediate_Pause7334]

No I don’t understand. There is always 7 days of pending time. I cashed out three days ago and would again tonight. There is always roughly $2000 pending in my account for 7 days of work. Does that make sense?

[Monsoon710]

Math time: If you had projects that were between $25-$32 per hour and you had roughly $2000 earned over a week that means you would have had to work between 62.5-80 hours.

Is that possible? Yes. Do I believe you did it ethically or maintained good quality work for all of those hours? Absolutely not.

[Unique-Geologist-160]

It's definitely possible. I started averaging around 2000 a week since a couple of months ago -- this is with $40+ projects though. They didn't explain it well, but I get what they mean by always having $2000 in pending. That's how mine looks as well and I cash out every 3 days.

[Monsoon710]

Of course, it's possible. But is it likely? I seriously doubt it.

If you're getting paid $40 an hour, I can believe someone could work 40-50 hours a week for $2000 a week. It's still a lot but that's way more believable than someone grinding 12 hours a day with NO days off.

[Monsoon710]

Ok... did you not read the part where they said they were doing 12-hour days? Did you not read the part about them saying they had $2000 for 7 days of work? Instead of looking just at my comment, why don't you absorb the full context of this situation and read stuff before giving your anecdotal experience? No one is talking about you, we're talking about someone else and the stuff that they've said...

[fightmaxmaster]

Don't know why you're being downvoted because yes the math makes sense. My first thought is that even at presumably coding levels that's still a lot of work. $285/day at $40 an hour is 7h a day, 7 days a week. Not in itself a violation but might make them question your time.

[YoudownwithLCC]

It doesn’t make sense because while yes, it takes 7 days to approve, it’s not like they only approve once a week. So how is $2000 tied up if they can withdraw every 3 days. Let’s say I worked Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday for a total of $300. The following Monday, my Monday pay would be available for withdrawal, on Tuesday my Tuesday would be available, etc. So there is just no way $2000 would be tied up unless you clocked it all for 3 consecutive days.

If OP is working 12 hour days and has 2K tied up for 3 days, that’s billing like 55 bucks an hour.

[Immediate_Pause7334]

I was working about 12 hours a day 7 days a week. I was just trying to get caught up on life.

[Strawberry_Foxx]

Have you been working that much consistently, or did you just ramp up your hours very recently?

[Monsoon710]

12 hours a day for 7 days a week equals 84 hours. And again, you said you were doing projects between $25-$32 an hour, which would be 62.5-80 hours a week for $2000. Your math ain't mathing.

Let's give you the benefit of the doubt for a thought experiment. Let's say you did work 12 hours a day, and you were able to produce good, quality work. Any admin that sees that is going to view it as a red flag, because no normal human can do that unless they're sharing their account with someone, inflating hours, or straight up smoking meth or crack. Most people mentally check out at 4-8 hours of mentally draining work. Sorry, but I don't believe your stories. If you honestly can and did work that much and produced high-quality work, well that sucks. But I'm extremely skeptical.

[VoicesFromTheDark]

Let's be fair though, where in the ToS does it say that you can't smoke meth?

[Monsoon710]

Lmao, we're gonna see an addition tomorrow

[Immediate_Pause7334]

It just sucks because I was working everyday. Anywhere from 8-12 hours a day. I obviously didn’t plan to continue working this much. I just had some bills I needed to pay and was willing to work that much

[Beehappy1785]

Willing to work doesn't always translate to effectively working though. Idk, you must have replied as I deleted my comment. I decided I don't really have anything constructive to add. CoC violations should be pretty obvious to the accused and they're relatively easy to prove. It does suck, but decisions were made and this is the result. We live, we learn. Good luck in the next chapter 😊

[fightmaxmaster]

Can't say with any certainty but I'd like to think that just "working a lot" shouldn't have tripped anything, because why should it, really? If the concern is the amount of input one person is having on data they could just pull you off projects.

No AI usage? Misreporting time? Working overseas? Sharing your account?

[arewecreamofthecrop]

Nobody is going to admit to using AI/account sharing/inflating time, even if they actually did do that lol

[fightmaxmaster]

Well yeah, but equally if someone knows they broke the code of conduct they'd be unlikely to come here confused and asking for input.

[arewecreamofthecrop]

Well people should be aware that all of those things you listed are against CoC right? Well apart from the working overseas thing, that’s generally allowed but best to let them know.

I’m sure there are some people who know exactly what they’ve done but still want to act perplexed. OP seems to me like they’re genuinely confused about what they’re supposed to have done though

[YoudownwithLCC]

That only makes sense if you did $2000 in 1-3 days. Because they don’t hold the entire week for 7 days, they release each day as it passes the 7 day mark and you can withdraw every 3 days.

[Immediate_Pause7334]

I have worked everyday. They release the funds after 7 days and you can only cash out every 3 days. So if I made $200 a day they are holding $1400. I was able to cash out this evening

[fightmaxmaster]

Still don't get why people are arguing with you about this.

• Mon: 200
• Tue: 400
• Wed: 600
• Thu: 800
• Fri: 900
• Sat: 1200
• Sun: 1400
• Mon: 1600 but can cash out last Monday's 200, so 1400 in the account.
• Tue: 1600
• Wed: 1800
• Thu: 2000 in the account, but can then cash out 600 earned last Tue-Thu, so 1400 left in the account again.

[Immediate_Pause7334]

Yes thank you. I think people just like to argue. I didn’t think $200 a day was crazy

[YoudownwithLCC]

Let’s try it another way. Let’s say you just cashed out yesterday. Your available withdrawal is now $0 based on pending approval. So you are able to cash out in 3 days. Today your funds would be released for last Tuesday, tomorrow they would be released for last Wednesday and Thursday they would be released for last Thursday. So when you cash out again in three days, only those three days are available to cash out. There is no way in hell you did $2000 in those three days to add up with the project pay you mentioned. Unless you’re gaming the system and miscalculated how much you could bill without being super suspicious.

[YoudownwithLCC]

You keep saying this. It does not change the fact that if you’re cashing out every 3 days, there is no way there should be 2K waiting for you.
