apparently this requester is very adamant on saying i will get paid via a bonus. i just need to wait.. I explained to him that is not how it works and I sent him this
https://www.cloudresearch.com/resources/blog/compensating-mechanical-turk-workers/ on how to create a compensation hit, and he just stated its out of date and he will look into it more tomorrow.. Is there a better source i can link to him so he can understand how to do this? I swear I feel like i am talking to a 3yo with this requester. Really ridiculous and a waste of my time i was not looking forward to today. lol
yeah this requester is beyond ridiculous. someone must of hit him with the stupid stick. He insists that i will get a bonus because he has my worker id even though i have never submitted a hit for them. BUT he thinks it will work because he has "given bonuses in the past" so i send him this
Paying for Non-Submitted HITs
Mechanical Turk is designed to require an Assignment ID in order for a Requester to issue a payment to a Worker. However, as an Assignment ID is only generated when a Worker successfully submits a HIT to a Requester for review, it is not currently possible to issue a payment to a Worker who was unable to submit a HIT to a Requester for review. However, Workers will occasionally contact Requesters for assistance when they have completed the work requested, but were unable to successfully submit the work to the Requester through the Worker UI.
and the response i get..... "I'm not 100% sure so ill look into it tomorrow" "it gave me no errors when i put your worker id in"
I even sent him a bonus i get in my email from another requester and tell him to look where it says "in relation to" the id next to it is the hit id that i submitted. I have no hit from you i submitted so how are you giving me a bonus? His response " it worked in the past' or "I did look into it today as I said and sent you a the money in the form of a bonus. Now I am waiting to see if it worked and will look into this again tomorrow."
so i start to send him various ways step by step how to create a compensation hit etc. and now the response i get is "I have engaged with you and explained what I have done so far to get you paid, I have also explained why the approach I have taken could work. " "please stop emailing me or i will send you to the spam folder"
I need a drink. I'm done dealing with stupid today.
