05/02 - Maybe It's Aveline Monday!

[The Bad Ash]

From @Fester: "Just emailed with this requester & asked two questions (which he said were good and he would add to instructions). He responded within 10 minutes. This is his first time running the hit & he said he has over 9,000 images to process in the coming months. He's moving from CF to MTurk cause he likes us Also says he has "probably have 100,000+ HITS" over the next few months. Seems like a really good requester, gonna add him to my TM."

I don't know how I feel about that. This most recent batch could just be an oversight. I tend to keep requesters on my watch list until it proves to be a total waste of time.

are you doing the validate batch up now? these are defintitely the fastest of all of them

Yes I am. My least favorite was the searching for the answers. I did like making up the questions.

Golf hits have treated me well this past week. Helped me make goal.

Quick question, if you don't mind. This is not a HIT I'm working. In fact, I've already submitted and just checking my answer.

How many U.S. Opens has Tiger competed in? (Not content. Visible from preview page.)

I've think a lot of these people who complain about mass rejections are scammers.

especially people rejected by Vale

Thank you. Wasn't sure if he had to "Make the cut" to be considered competing.

This is a batch, not a survey. Survey content rules don't apply to batches. Feel free to discuss.

Oh. Cool. Thanks. I hadn't really thought about the distinction.

...Unless you were talking about the qualification test for it? If you were talking about that, then yes, that's content we can't share. But if you're just talking about the HITs, go for it!

Right now I'm only finding wins but I don't use wiki so not sure about that link. If I can't find the answer I just return it. Most have been extremely easy to find by the blurbs in the search results.

DId anyone do this survey $3.25 Childhood Survey ( BY INVITATION ONLY) from an email and have a time??

20ish minutes? I got distracted a bit while PMing @SpookyMyers.

He randomly hard blocks for no reason (even if all of your HITs approved and you followed all of the rules) and doesn't respond to email. There's also concern that since he's Google-associated, you could be blocked on other Google/Endor accounts as well if they share block lists.

Funny enough, mine is the the most recent review.

Well, I guess I won't be doing anymore of his hits. That is such a messed up thing to do.

He blocked people at one time. Not sure if that has happened in a while. I'm in the minority I'm sure but I like them.

Personally my issue with him was the obligatory 3 mins on hits that paid (I don't remember but it wasn't enough). The only way to make it worth the time was to cook them which defeats the purpose.

I did the hits in less time and I got them approve. I guess he finally learn to wise up or you won't get any work done.
