Page 18 of the Guidebook (7-31-08) (version 3.1b) has the information. They'll send a check within 45-60 days to your address of record, if you've been deactivated/quit. Just make sure your mailing address is on your account before you quit.

So, I decided to give chacha a go. I logged into the universe last night and started to answer questions. I received 2 blank queries with "${encodedQueryText}" as the query. I sent multiple feedbacks when I was dropped from sessions for no apparent reason, and the universe froze. I asked...

Someone has started a Yahoo group to discuss this off the chacha forum http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/wahcchacha/messages/1

Aaaak!!! I spent hours putting keywords in!!!!!!!!!!! They are ALL gone! Then again, I'm guessing it isn't going to matter soon.

They've demonstrated the correlation of outrage to quality is??? Poorly managed company IMO.

And that is why you use a different username in public forums. The contract said that you could be fired for what you wrote in the forums. There's no surprise there. I say, find me & fire me.

Of course, Esther's listening. with quotes like this, from washingtonpost.com http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/05/AR2008080500797.html?nav=hcmodule Their little pay cut is making the news. Next out will be that the "Pay me now" button isn't working. A PR...

You're right based on the table in the pay for performance faqs. From there, it looks like the 10th - 13th would still be paid at the higher rate, so it would be a good time to get 300 in for "next" week. Hmmm....there might be something here. Which days are best to work to minimize your...

I'm there. It's also the first day of the Olympics. That could hurt. If I decide to stay, I do know that if I'm not a top guide one week, I'll only be answering 301 the next week. I'm only answering more than 300 questions per week at .20!

So, I'm trying to read the rant thread, and suddenly, I don't have permission to access it?? Way to go chacha. I can still get to the rest of the forum. I guess that thread was too much of a drain on the system.

It's on the blog. AFIK, the KB is still empty. (which is interesting in itself)

I just thought of something. IF you're doomed to .10 per answer, may as well give 10-cent answers. I bet I could give 3 times as many answers if they were low quality.

I'm not an accountant, and I don't play one on tv. The IRS says that you have to pay Self Employment Tax if you earn $400 or more. http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98846,00.html That 15.3% is essentially both the employee's portion (7.65%) (which you'd pay anyway if you...

Ah, but will you be working during the Olympics? I expect they're going to make a boatload then. I'm guessing Chacha is betting that people will cool down before then.

I was just wondering about that. If I'm messing up on 1/20 questions, I need to know how not to keep doing that. Then again, they're calling employees "independent contractors" in order to evade paying employment taxes, so why would we be surprised that they'd be scummy?

Yes, it was a mod, with a lot of posts that said it. I double checked because I've seen quality discussed before and I wanted to be sure the answer was from an "authority."

It seems like ChaCha is trying to get around the minimum wage laws by calling you "Independent Contractos." Yet, they say "how" you can do the job, ie. you must check history and can't use scripts or bots. I wonder how you'd report that to the IRS. I thought you couldn't say anything...

There are 4 events posted for New Palestine, IN, but under the wrong zip code. If you're interested, look under 43163. MC has been informed twice.

Ds has mixed results with ginger, but I think we'll try it again. Dramamine makes him so drowsy! http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=16143&catid=10&brand=7838&trx=PLST-0-BRAND&trxp1=10&trxp2=16143&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-BRAND The link above is for the chewable Dramamine...

We had our hearts set on staying on site. With 5 in our family, it narrows down our choices pretty quickly for the resort hotels. We expect this to be our only WDW trip, and dug into the emergency fund accordingly. After all, it was an emergency ;) AK looks like a great place to stay. It...
