12/04 - Snow and Slush and Soggy Sunday!

Do you all count bonuses you earned but haven't yet paid out in your PE? Or do you count them when you actually receive them?

I don't count them towards my weekly goal. Just because you never know if they will actually come through. I just think of it as a bonus as an extra. When I do my budgeting I will put that either into my savings or play fund.

They'll be liberal in their acceptance, right up until they aren't. Then come the wave of rejections. But, it's your lemonade stand. You can run it anyway you want, I guess.

How many times have we taken an educated guess on other hits when the instructions were unclear?

I treat it like money I find when doing the laundry

Ha! Good idea.

That said, I count bonus money in my total earnings, just not in my daily/weekly goals.

I'm weird. I don't even submit my Mturk ID when no code is given. I don't think the risk, as little as it may be, is worth the reward, as little as it definitely is.
As I said though, you do you and that's okay. That's the best thing about turking. Your numbers don't affect me at all.

is there a way to use exclusion when HitMonitor searches?

Like the BlockList?

EDIT NVM Exclusion terms. Got it.

Galileo HIT for $5.00 I'm returning in a moment: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/previewandaccept?groupId=3WAI7IWAXVZ6PVJXSVJFUMPQ1PZKCB

"Thank you for working on our HITs! Unfortunately, all of the remaining HITs are reserved for people we like more and we want you to die penniless and alone cause we hate you"

That last half may have been made up by me, but I know it's what they meant.

 

[Caturk]

Even if they're liberal on approving you should probably return the hit. We don't condone submitting poor quality work or condone posting about doing it.

So plug up your ears. I still have a 99.8% acceptance rate.

It's irrelevant what your acceptance rate is. When I said "we", I was referring to this forum (mturkcrowd.com), the forum you're posting on. Please read over our guidelines.
