One could argue that hinting at a batch is actually more helpful than flat out posting it.

Increases the amount of money made by the worker who is willing to actually look for a batch.
Increases the quality of work the requester receives because it isn't being exported to a different community that is going to give a requester lower quality work. @A6_Foul_Out

Secret batches are only secret to people too lazy to look for them.

I can only answer from my perspective....

Just ask. People will tell you what they need. If you are really looking to help someone on the forum - and that's your motivation for doing something - ask them what they need for you to be helpful.
I think to do otherwise would be sort of paternalistic, you know? If you just ask, most people will let you know. If they need help evaluating batches, you can direct them to some of our help sections. Or give them a few guidelines - based on your experience.

If they need something else - they'll tell you. As I wrote, that first batch I worked on (that made significant money - for me) - I remember just who posted it and when. It changed my whole day (and week). It was really just a godsend -. I pm'd the person, because several people were angry that it had been posted at all . It was my first big break on mturk and I learned a lot from that.

But as for a general rule. I don't think you can make one. I don't know what anyone needs. I just try to help. If I'm not sure, then I ask.

Submit and message the requester?

 

[rsclone]

Submit and message the requester?

messaged them to ask what to do but no reply so far...and with a 30m timer doubt they will....I'll probably wait right to the buzzer then submit if they don't reply in time...

 

[lolkatB]

I'm sat here, not working at all and really enjoying it. I've seen things I normally work on pop up and meh, let someone else get them...

 

[ALinAL]

TV saying about 15 minutes.

That's about right. Worth it.

Once you've got your feet on the ground and know what you're doing, it's the little things that help. Like being able to look up the prior hit post on a recurring survey to see if the requester is changing the group ID or not.
