Has anyone had these jobs on the dashboard? They consist of a single word, the translation is pre-filled and there's no payment for it.

    Hi there! Yes there have been over a hundred of these jobs. I have been writing to Support about them since the end of April. There has been no action taken as yet and I no longer get any updates on progress with this issue. I have done some of them - the completed job goes to "pending second pass". There is a 0.01$ payment for this but nothing at all for submitting the original job! So working for nothing really!

    Hello Nataša,

    I have also been having this no-paying jobs on my dashboard lately. They have been preventing me from picking other jobs and each time my feed reader signals, it keeps reminding me of these same pending jobs. My case is even made worse by the fact that I'm a "Preferred translator" to this client.

    Since I joined Gengo, this is the month I have my lowest volume of translated words and collections, because I simply can't see the real jobs!

    It would be of great help if Gengo can add a "Hide" feature the platform to allow translators keep these kind of jobs out of sight and focus on what they want to do. 

    For now, I still see about 180 of these jobs left, and I guess I still have to go with ALMOST NO WORK DONE for at least a week or two... Hoping some more free jobs are not added in the meantime!

    So far I've only had a couple of those jobs appear now and then, so I just ignored them. However, like in your case, there are hundreds of them now, so I can't access any paid jobs. I've submitted a ticket now and I'm waiting for response.

    @Joan.Castick

    Any updates for you?

    Have written to Support several times about this issue. From what I can see at the moment, the jobs with zero reward are now appearing as Edit jobs with a reward of 0.01$ per 1 word job.

    Hopefully it gets resolved in my case, too.

    Hello Nataša & Joan.Castick

    Athough I didn't submit any ticket about the issue, it's about an hour that my dashboard has been cleared from these unpaid jobs. Still, I wonder if there has been any other collection since this morning. From my end, I haven't seen any! Indeed, my worst week since I engaged with Gengo!
