10/03 - We'll Meet Again Monday

[K'Lee]

Research Tasks - do they tend to go full 30 AA? I am remembering they usually pay within a week...

Last time I did these I think it took 2-3 days.

"...micro-taskers performing work through sites such as Amazon’s Mechanical Turk AMT or CrowdFlower, are realising that their dreams of doing flexible, liberating work are turning into a nightmare of unfair and often unsafe working conditions, poor pay, no security, and increased risk."

I do believe this author has RAS syndrome.

What a relief, at least I can attribute one of my pet peeves to a syndrome.

It wouldn't let me get rid of the individual rejection. I tried uploading the CSV from the individual hit through the batch link and it failed saying it needed certain parameters entered. I tried putting the values from that hit into the batch CSV (which had the other test hit) and uploaded that (x'ed the accept column for both hits). The system accepted the file but would only accept the one hit and didn't reverse the rejection.

This is really weird.

This is really weird.

Like I said, if you create it as a batch, no problem, can just fix stuff, but individual-created hits there seems to be no way to reverse under the interface.

Even the API might not work: "If your HITs were created using the Amazon Mechanical Turk API, you can approve a previously rejected assignment using the ApproveRejectedAssignment operation."

38 min, 17 Research Tasks, $2.55....

Well that was an interesting experiment... yeah, onto the next ~

Also I was re-reading their T.O. and there are some rejections in there... pausing a bit.

Honestly, I'm sure there's more to it, such as the person taking too long to answer. I sent them an e-mail awhile back after I got someone that was being a troll and they responded to me fairly quickly and told me they would keep an eye on them. But pay is really dependent on how quickly the other person responds so ymmv.
