I caught an extra Gould 6 dollar survey. It takes like 10 min and has a bonus of 2.00. I am gonna throw one back in 3 min. Get your panda on.

I could sugarcoat it but as far as I know I've never heard of Google reversing a block.

I'm really bummed out now. Yeah a lot of people complain about Zs. However, this literally cuts 300-500$ projected dollars (assuming they post everyday) off my projected monthly earnings.

I don't think I've felt this bad about anything Turk related in my time turking. Combine that with stuff that happened to me last night and I may need to find a shitty office job.

This coming off a $131 day yesterday

Meh

but seriously, zoltar will be gone soon anyway we are training robots and eventually they will take over. the 20 bucks is pretty easy to make up, and don't have to get up the ass crack of dawn. Better to work 60 hrs a week on your own terms than 40 hours a week before commute on some scummy employers.

 

[ChristopherASA]

No, but I suppose it's something we could discuss if a lot of members wanted it, but we wouldn't need to do any upgrades to install that.

I'd be in favor of that. .............. And good "another-late-start" morning

I've only done like 5 zoltars. always feel i'd screw em up somehow. So wasnt too familar that they dont reverse. ugh, just ugh, Understood tho. It sucks.

My (completely hypothetical) prediction for 2017:

MTURK Prime.
Tagline: You gots to pay to play!

Don't laugh, I'm sure the idea has popped up in someone's head before.

Even better to to work 4 hours and eat marshmallows the rest of the time.

Yep, @Princess Gina Marie has been suffering the slowest rejections ever from these guys with equally ridiculous reasoning. IIRC they're STILL trickling through for her!

Yeeeep.

They approve a few, reject a few, disappear for 8ish hours, then repeat. It's been a constant pattern (even the middle of the night) since Friday morning. I'm at 60 rejections from them now, with about 150 pending. I did a total of around 400-500 last week.

I've gotten rejections from them in the past, but they were for things like hitting enter by accident before I was finished with my last sentence. In those cases, I would email them, and they wouldn't respond.

This time? About 30 rejections in, they sent me a one cent bonus and told me if I would rewrite a story and email it to them, they would overturn the rejection for it. I wrote back telling them I didn't know which story it was, and could that apply to all the rejections they were giving me? No answer.

I just want them to finish it up so I can move on.

Can your account take that kind of hit?

 

[catnapped]

There is an option to do a fast pantha which will send an accept request instantly after a preview which could cause more PRE's but less misses.

Yeah was wondering what that setting does. Have to experiment tomorrow as I screwed the test up today (found there was something else running without my realizing it)

I'm kind of over marshmallows right now, all about the candy corn

I'm really wondering how much longer they'll be around. I know I've done ~20k of them myself. Google sinking a lot of money into it for sure
