Okay. I just got soft-banned as well after doing a few of Computer Vision Turk's HITs.

So, I just did one where it marked a baby in a crib, and asked if the marked object is a crib or not. I said no. Since a baby is not a crib, even though there is a crib in the picture. Was I wrong to do that, or no? In another picture, there was a donut shaped toy in a dog's mouth, but the marker was inside of the donut hole, which technically isn't touching the donut shaped toy, and when it asked me if the marked object was a toy, I replied yes, and traced it. However, I only traced the outside of the donut shaped toy. I didn't trace the hole itself, so instead of 2 traces, one for the outside of the toy, and one for the hole on the inside, I only did the outside. Was that wrong?

Honestly, the fact that so many people are getting soft banned without any explanations is disconcerting. And this is AFTER we all passed the initial screening HIT itself to do the batch. Instead of soft banning, the requester should be setting up more training HITs that pay less with examples that show you what you did wrong, if you did something wrong, and after we pass a certain number of training HITs, give us a qualification to do the real HITs. Instead of doing that, they are posting 10k HITs for everyone to do, and then soft bans 90% of the workers after they only do a few HITs for them. That's no way to get good quality work.

Agreed. I think there might be something wrong with their review process. Especially considering how lax it was on the previous types.

Half the "blurry" examples don't even look blurry to me.

There were hundreds up... my PC told me to go eff myself.

I'm a pussy and scared of losing the qual so I didn't work on the batch last night and prob won't work on this one.

I may also just be making excuses to not have to actually work

I thought something was wrong because I typically get 3 or 4, so that makes sense. Sorry about your PC..

i didn't see the batch last night, but I swear weeks ago when she did the blurry HITs there were different examples than what's up now. Most of the examples now I sure the hell wouldn't mark as blurry. I think I'm sitting this batch out, too. Clearly my eyes must not be as picky as Victoria's are. lol

Are you talking about the Vicky HITs?

Edit: Never mind. Yes, you are.

Hundreds? I thought there was only a few dozen, at best.

 

[Cara]

i noticed them at 277

 

[JenniLeigh]

Hundreds? I thought there was only a few dozen, at best.

Even in the export up a few posts it says 277- and that was several minutes after they posted and almost half were gobbled up.

I haven't been to school in a few decades... but I think that's hundreds.

The Blurry Vickies literally say good luck at the end.

Yea both of these sentiments I agree with.
If they were 5c I would man up but at 3c it's not worth the effort or fear.
