I smell pastrami

 

[tricker]

Cool. They send out two batches of each one unqual and the other qualed.

Aaaaaahhhhhhh. So that warning was really for the qualled batch? It was included on one of the unqualled ones I did today, too.

Though they can just block me from these hits if I start sucking, so I don't plan on sucking. And mebbe I should do those ask 10 questions things then to get that qual.

Hello Turkers-

Thank you again for participating in our study. A number of you have asked when we will be resuming data collection. The answer is, very soon. However, there have been a number of changes made, which I will outline now:

- Unbanning: Those who have received temporary bans will be unbanned tonight at 12 am UTC, which is7pm Eastern time, 5pm Pacific Time. You will have to re-take the practice.

- Slowing Down Data Aquisition: We are very appreciative of how willing our participants have been to complete our task. However, we will be decreasing the number of HITs posted per week from unlimited to around 4,000 / week. To ensure that everyone who wants to is able to participate, we will be decreasing the number of HITs you are allowed to complete per day.

- Preventing Exploitating: As many of you know, we had some trouble with users attempting to exploit our tasks. To prevent this, we have put additional measure into place. You won't notice a change beyond it taking slightly longer for the HITs to load. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable. But thank you again for all of your advice and attempts to help.

- More Time For Choices: We will be increasing the amount of time you have to make your decisions. However, as always, the reward is pegged to the average time it takes users to complete the HIT and you are still expected to work as quickly as you can. The goal is not to make the HIT longer (it's not, there is still the same number of choices per HIT) but to help people who have slower computers, etc.

We will begin running again very soon, so keep any eye out! If you encounter any errors, or have any questions, as always do not hesitate to contact us. Happy turking!

He's blocked people before. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the requester had no idea that there were two batches one unqualled and one qualled posting.

For some reason I think of all requesters as female, but yes, I think she called us turkers.

Get some sleep, no matter how much money you make you'll never be able to buy lost hours of sleep, they're priceless.

That's what I tell myself when I don't want to do any work.

LOL. Doesn't surprise me. These hits seem a little...unorganized? I have had a few times when the hit just stops being available like an hour and a half after I start it (still within the 3 hour window). Even when an agent has responded. I go to check to see if I need to respond again and poof...it's just gone (I still have the hit open, the task is gone).

But you can buy future hours of sleep
