There is a learning curve to mturk. people try to give out as much info as possible, but everyone has a slightly different set up -- not to mention skill set. If you ask on the main thread, often folks have an answer for you :). TSolo315 @TSolo315 mturk guide is pretty nifty - and it's the first thing we recommend reading
Definitely a wide variety of skillsets and computer experience, I picked that up in just a few hours on this forum. And, yes, I know a lot of people do their best to answer the questions and help people out. (and you can often tell that the person asking the question has either done zero research, or likely just isn't capable of understanding) But, when it comes down to it, you DO have to dig in and figure things out for yourself, and it IS counterproductive for the most productive people to give away ALL of their secrets.

I get it. I just though it was funny that what I learned today about Requester Pandaing (did I just verb a noun?) was so obvious, and doesn't even require any custom scripting. I was digging into "auto accept" scripting, which is apparently either all custom, or deeply underground, and also somewhat controversial... but it's OBVIOUS that this kind of thing is happening. (and much of it could just be Req Pandas) All part of the mysteries of MTurk.

it's true. But panda crazy - and mturk suite
and our guides are all developed by turkers (with the intent of helping other turkers). So, there's quite a bit of goodwill, too.

I started in Nov/Dec 2019 so I'm pretty new, but I've been using MTS. I only know how to use the Hit Catcher and Hit Finder on MTS but they work really well. I googled Youtube videos to learn how to install them and use them. They are pretty simple to use.

I also recommend checking out Turkerview!

https://turkerview.com/





QUOTE="Loren, post: 1671652, member: 12091"]
Devoting much of my afternoon to not catching hits and doing research. Learned a lot about Panda Crazy, which I'm about to install.


In a nutshell...

Noobs: How do we DO this???
Turkers: Install MTS, it's easy. Or you could use Panda Crazy and a bunch of other scripts, but it gets complicated.
Noobs: Okay, I'll install MTS. How do I use it?
Turkers: There are no instructions, figure it out!
Noobs: (either figure it out, or realize that they're not cut out for this, or accept $2/hour)
Turkers: We didn't tell them about Requester Pandas that Hit Catcher doesn't do, did we?

Me:

For the life of me I can't remember the code for the Pearman hit. I can't recall if it was worker ID, something we made up or if she gave us a code and I forgot to save it! :shrug:
It was the end code for the first HIT in the group. Use it for the ID at the start and as the end code on the Hit page--for ALL of the Hits in the group. Find it by going to Hit Tracker and search for Ann Pearman and put curser over src button. It will show you the end code you used to submit. Click it on to show the HIT page for the HIT. A useful bit of niceness.

Oh, I've been using MTS since day one. It DOES work, but the simplicity that makes it a great tool for new Turkers means that it is somewhat limited in what it can do. And it's obvious that a lot of people are using tools that work FASTER and better. That's what I was investigating today. Either how to make Hit Catcher work more efficiently, or find out what it is that's snagging hits more quickly.
