Lol not sure how i should respond to this , Tell them to make a compensation hit?

yes, they should compensate you. If there's a little more you needed to do (I didn't read thread carefully - just that you worked on it). But if there's a little more to do you could ask access to complete it

For the RVD Team hits, what do they mean when they want you to judge the "naturalness" of an audio sample?

I've tried doing several about half of them are loading.

Seen this before when they are loading a large number fast. Occasionally they have stopped MTurk too. Hoping for improvement. I'm not risking My favorite qual for a few cents.....I did one that I submited. Most of it was black. The images that do appear are bad at best.

i just asked them if they could make an compensation hit for the time i provided and completed , but if there is more to the study that i need to finish to complete it then i would be more then happy to finish the study.

Should I just wait them out and see if they start loading right.

I've always just thought they meant, how close to a human's voice it is.

Oh. Okay ,thanks. I always start these and then panic because I'm not sure what I'm doing. lol

I finished that $3.00 HIT there were 8 blocks of faces to go through, I spent 2 hours 4 minutes on it, I am WAY stubborn and refuse to give up ever. I told them I went straight through with no breaks and it was not possible to do it in the allotted time. The HIT did allow me to submit even though the timer was 34 minutes over.

I really hope they make this worth it;

I finished it also, and sent them an email about how it was not possible. Also how slow and laggy their interface is, sometimes waiting 5 second other times waiting 20 seconds to move forward. I timed out at the 6th block.

I saw all the return reviews and noped out

I hope there is a hefty bonus for you that was promised on this HIT, because that $1.50/hr wage is not the best.

Just a heads up . There is a requester that posts a survey thing for $3. It was called

Decision Making in Human Machine Teams (HMT) . This is a huge rip off. It's an experiment that takes over 3 hours to complete. At the end they don't even give you a completion code. I'd avoid this one. It's the same one that mirror man got above.

I think I did that one. Who was the requester on that?

TGIF - Howdy folks Hope the day is smiling at you

 

[Merovign]

Man I am seeing a lot of really low paying stuff.

On the other hand (and not sure it's a good HIT yet), I just logged back in and my little Panda caught a HIT I put in two days ago, so, not all bad luck.

Hope everyone else made mad bucks yesterday, I was on the phone (it seemed) all day about medical stuff, and then my internet went down.

But I have a 2 day 3D print running and it looks like it's going to be fine, so that's good too.
