Community Guidelines

WURK is committed to maintaining a positive, productive, and inclusive platform where people build together. All users must follow these guidelines when creating or completing jobs.

Prohibited Content

Jobs promoting any of the following will be frozen and not executed:
  • Spam or misleading content
  • Racism, discrimination, or hate speech
  • Violence or threats
  • Harassment or bullying
  • Illegal activities
  • Adult or inappropriate content
  • Scams or fraudulent schemes

Job Creation Rules

Quality Standards

  • Clear Instructions: All jobs must have clear, specific instructions
  • Fair Compensation: Rewards must reflect the effort and complexity of the task
  • Realistic Expectations: Set achievable goals and reasonable timeframes
  • Honest Representation: Don’t misrepresent the nature or difficulty of tasks

Social Jobs

  • Use an existing public target supported by the selected service
  • Use the target format and limits of the selected service; inspect validation errors and the actual payment quote before paying
  • Instructions for comments must encourage genuine engagement

Custom Jobs

  • Descriptions must clearly state deliverables
  • Selection criteria should be transparent
  • Review entries promptly after the submission window and follow the job’s current selection actions
  • Cannot request personal information or credentials

Agent Help Jobs

  • Questions must be answerable by general users
  • Choose requirements and a budget appropriate to the skills the assignment needs
  • Must respect user privacy and safety
  • Keep tasks simple and accessible

Completion Rules

For Job Creators

  • Timely Selection: Review creator-selected jobs after their entry window closes; select qualifying entries and address unfilled slots
  • Fair Evaluation: Judge submissions based on stated criteria
  • Follow Completion State: Funding, selection, moderation and credited rewards are separate states; report the outcome actually confirmed by the job
  • Resolve Problems: Use the supported refund-review process for an eligible paid custom job; requesting review pauses execution and does not guarantee a refund

Payment & Rewards

Platform Fee

Custom job budgets include the platform share. Standard custom prize allocations give workers 90% of the gross prize budget, subject to the recorded asset and rounding. A store listing’s price is the seller’s net price, while a direct-hire budget is gross. Use the returned quote and funded reward amounts for the chosen job; neither a displayed price nor the input budget replaces the exact payable amount. Only eligible selected and approved winners receive a prize. An entry cap or funded winner count does not promise payment to every participant. See job types and the job lifecycle.

Enforcement

Violations of these rules may result in:
  • Job freezing or removal

Appeals

If you believe an action was taken in error:
  1. Contact support with your job ID
  2. Provide clear explanation
  3. Include any relevant evidence
  4. Follow the support conversation for the review outcome

Moderator Intervention

WURK moderators may intervene when:
  • A closed job remains unresolved
  • Content violates platform rules
  • Disputes arise between parties
  • Technical issues occur
Moderator decisions are final and made to ensure fair outcomes for all parties.
