[HelloHello]

I don't qualify for the qual hit.

If you already have the qual you won't qualify for it.

 

[HelloHello]

I'd rather not share my order history.

You delete your name, address, payment information before you turn it over to them.

How many things in your catcher running is to many?

Also, I only have MTS and catcher is set to 700ms. Finder is set to 3000ms.
Are these good ms?

Obviously everyone wants to catch what they want to.... so I'm not even sure if anyone will tell me the best ms.

I'm not really the expert, but something like 1 second or 1000ms is more what you should be shooting for i think, someone else will correct me if i'm wrong.

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

One of your Qualifications has been revoked by the Requester who maintains the Qualification. Please see details about Requester: SurveyComet

doesn't sound too worrying. If that campaign is over, they are probably just deleting quals that are no longer needed for that campaign.

Thanks! That would be great!

 

[basketcasey]

Oh yeah, and

 

[Tandem In Time]

Thanks! That would be great!

Basically, MTurk doesn't like for anyone person to send more than 1 request per second (1000ms). Therefore, setting tools/plug-ins to run faster than that starts resulting in Page Request Errors, which are basically short time-outs that you get when you send too many requests to MTurk too quickly.

In an earlier post you mentioned that you set HIT Catcher to 700ms. So to demonstrate PREs, turn off HIT Finder, and then set one single catcher to 700ms. Now watch that Catcher's PRE count start to go up. I forget precisely how long the PRE time-out last, but it's about 3 seconds. So basically PREs are really bad and you want zero of them. MTS and Panda Crazy try to balance-out their timing in order to avoid PREs.

@cyberwasp's suggestion of 1 second for HIT Finder's speed and 1 second for HIT Catcher's speed is good. One's ability to make more money and catch more HITs on MTurk depend far more on increasing their knowledge of the requesters and learning about their HIT-posting tendencies, as opposed to perfectly optimizing the timing of HIT Finder and HIT Catcher.

@Gator is referring to a past explanation of mine about how the timing of multiple PANDAs/Catchers works and details why it's a bad idea to run too many at once.

I'd be happy to answer any other questions you have.
