I have a Q (POLL REQUEST?) for the forum:

When you reach your weekly goal consistently for a few weeks, do you bump it up, stop turking, or turk anyway and see everything else as bonus?

never stop never stopping

It seems to depend on how badly/what you need the money for.

edited to answer more directly: this can be a dangerous time if you're not careful. Keep an eye both on what's available and your own energy levels/mental health. If you're consistently reaching goal, there's still stuff worth doing AND you feel up to doing it, then stay on the grind. Otherwise, moderation is seriously key for most people who want to keep turking long-term and also aren't 20.

What did he end up doing a qual test for those or something?

Just issued quals to people that were already doing them I think.

Ahh I quit doing them with all the soft bans going out, I wasn't super quick about them though. So it never did good for my hourly, I imagine some are much better at it.

Well, I don't bump it up because I prefer easy goal Usually, if I make my weekly goal I still turk but not as maddeningly. If I tend to look like I can't get close to my goal then I tend to get disinterested and play around. Kind of like right now. I have the forum open and not even mturk itself.

raise your goal. get outside your comfort zone.

raise your goal. get outside your comfort zone.

That sounds like a courage wolf saying.

even though it says not to message text vision turk about soft bans I did it anyway (about the answer the question about text in an image thing) and he very nicely told me what I was doing wrong and that he thinks I just need to take breaks (mostly typos) and that he'd probably lift the ban after a new batch starts, which will be soon.

just for everyone's info.

Oohhhhhh Requester love!!! I wrote to
Acme DataCollector
because a few of their audio files did not load and they got back to me right away and even said my HIT would be approved, which I did not even ask about I sent more like a FYI message.

Have a great evening everyone! I just started a book, which is rare for me anymore, and I am ready to get back to it! Next week I start turking with money on my mind again!

I've reached my limit. If I could stay focused on them for a long period of time I could make a solid $12/hr off of them but I just can't. I've done 610 of them and my mind starts wandering after 4-5 now.

Hoping someone working the Mary Pat Connolly batch can answer this for me - what are you doing about the CATEGORY spaces that aren't available? I emailed her but haven't heard back.

We'll just get banned again in 4 HITs after he lifts it anyways.
