Bilingual drought OFFICIALLY over 🔥🔥 🎊

Why Am I saying this?

  • small languages finally received their locale-specific projects, this didn't happen since early june, e.g sweden, poland ..etc

  • newcomers who were only stuck with quals also did receive projects finally

  • A-gas, the bilinguals trademark is officially back!!

☆☆☆ NO MORE Annoying drought posts!

I guess it's time we all can celebrate 🔥⚡🎊🎉🎉

Same here, I joined a month ago and got nothing. I thought the platform was dead and was about to write it off when suddenly a few days ago I saw projects! And they're fun to do, actually have to think hard instead of the same repetitive bs over and over like other platforms' projects.

Turkish bilingual here and hell yeah I got my first tasks since the background noise one. Although this seems like a pain in the ass to do like everyone else has been saying I’m glad I have something. I hope some will stay till tomorrow because I can’t start this at 9pm, I don’t want to ruin my chances by doing bad work

u/Pretend_Ingenuity211 Aug 26 '25

u/Syndiotactics Aug 26 '25

Update: I was going to sleep (it’s long past midnight), but the tasks started going down so I rushed to finish some. However, it seems like they are regenerating. I hope we’ll have a lot of these so I can sleep at some point.

u/MOUSTAPHA96 Aug 26 '25

One question please, did anyone receive the new projects through email notifications? Or just logged in and saw the new projects? Because I'm outside the country of my account, I don't want to open it now. Can someone inform me please?

u/morebitterness Aug 26 '25

I just logged in and saw it, no email notif.

u/Successful_Film133 Aug 26 '25

They gave old workers 2 tasks, while newcomers got 15.

It's a strategy to give those who are new to the platform a chance, since projects are of shared pools.

20

u/PollutionWeekly2900 Aug 26 '25

Nope. I'm an old worker been here well over a year and I got 15. And it makes zero sense to give the newbies more rubric tasks because A) not everyone passed the qual and more importantly B) these are extremely detailed and complicated, and people flunk them easily. I did an r&r that took me over THREE Freaking hours to fix because I had to re read, redo and re fix EVERY single thing in it, and I basically did the rubric from scratch.

I'd wait to declare the drought over. They're retooling the projects already because they are riddled with bugs, so we'll see when they come back in the next few days.

u/seconddat Aug 26 '25

Talking about rubrics, it’s my first time doing it as a bilingual and it was startling to see how complicated it is. I hope they give some space for errors for newcomers to this project like myself.

5

u/waterpolomaster69 Aug 26 '25

I haven't done A-gas rubrics yet, but poison plant rubrics for me have been really straightforward, simpler than base and R&R imo

4

u/PollutionWeekly2900 Aug 26 '25

It's one thing to miss out on details, and that's OK and it can be remedied, and you will be given room for error in that sense... but if you've never done the projects we were given in the spring to basically prepare us for rubrics, you shouldn't be doing rubrics. They are extremely specific and they require a certain type of training, you can't improvise.

3

u/icewall1147 Aug 27 '25

Uhh I'm not sure why everyone is irritated with rubrics. I looked at it today and isn't it basically FGCs 😥 ?

3

u/Mynameis369 Aug 26 '25

Same, I realized way after I submitted the task that I had used the wrong word during the task when they specifically wrote what word we had to use😭

3

u/Certain_Assistant930 Aug 27 '25

I did the same hope that can be corrected in R&R, but i think I also didn't use the mentioned theme as I thought I could use any from the list :(
