Here is her response to my response,lol. Notice she is dealing with people trying to scam the system, come on people! I apologized for the workers, and I encouraged her to reach out on the requester thread to help her research process run more smoothly.

Hi Alicia,

I'll check and get back to you about this HIT later today or tomorrow. I'm evaluating the last 2 batches now.

I have got a lot of spam responses in the HITs. A lot of rejections were because the review was copy-pasted in its entirely to the answer field - that is obviously not the task.
I'm being careful about the rejections - I understand that this affects your overall rating for other tasks as well.

Best,
Rose.

we have great euphemisms in the South for calling people names without calling them names....

I hate that it's an insult... it always sounds so sweet

 

[stuffalleysays]

I'll just go ahead and message you my worker ID, that's all you'll need.

I just noticed the search jobs up there, do you do it in search mode?

Hahaha, truuue that's what everyone wanted yesterday

there's a reason the ninjas are the far superior bearers of IPsofts.

Using a closed qual for stuff that isn't as dependent on the most varied, widest amount of responses would just be a nice thing to do for your good workers. The qual doesn't even need to be all that exclusive, just limited to people who have shown that they actually speak English.

It's not ALWAYS an insult...just 99.99% of the time.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna do something like that. I'm just working out how the csv files work.
If only I had bothered to keep up with the Gold Club qual. But it's still a nice list of who was good a few months ago.

pinterest does something similar with their data collection, and their data collection similarly relies on several inputs per given piece of data.

banning the scammers (qual86)

mitigating the bad data of the people who try, but their data isn't the best

and collecting as much great data from good workers as they can. (gold club)

while at the same time, taking advantage of Turk's strengths with its vast array of workers.

Oh, nice! That's what I was working on figuring out how to do when I created the gold club qual, but then it didn't end up making sense for the small-ish volume of data we're collecting. And none of the quality measures I was trying out on paraphrase data really correlated well with my idea of high/medium/low quality paraphrases so.... We just check them for a number of things and go with it. But I wanted a more automated, fancy process!

Afternoon all! I've done little today, but got a $3 and $1.92 bonus paid out. Needed that because it is not a good earning day for me today.

 

[Starslip]

Is anyone else stuck on a certain page on the Sarah Cogswell Microsoft Calendar HIT or am I just completely missing how to respond correctly??

Yes, seems broken. What'd you do, return it?
