12/18 - Singing Sunday!

Hi, Tyler,

I apologize. It does look like the instructions are in fact broken. We had just made changes to the task to fix other issues, and it looks like we broke the instructions. We’ll reverse your rejections.

Next time, please give us a chance to help you before firing off like this. The problems that other workers have had and reported are not the same one that you have had, including problems with the instructions. Two people who complained before you on TurkOpticon were missing intermediate SSL certificates in their browsers, which is why the instructions did not load for them.

Best, Travis

Ok, the world is all good again, and I am a bad person. Travis is a good guy, I feel like an ass.

Let's hope they apply that rejection reversal to others, given the issue. Congrats on confirmation on getting yours sorted, though! Anxious to receive their reply on my end..

Is this for the CMUs or Tobias?

CMUs

I certainly hope that I get a good reply as well and you did the right thing by sending a follow up email apologizing. I always try to be nice when emailing requesters and re-read what I have written before sending to make sure it sounds okay.

CMUs

Oh, my rejections were for Tobias. I thought yours were too??

 

[TylerS]

Oh, sorry no! I said I had done a bunch of Tobias hits, but no rejections from him. He seems solid, so I'm sure he'll reverse yours, as Tobias has good TO and seems legit.

 

[K'Lee]

CMUs

Dang. Now I am even more stressed out. I hope I hear from Tobias and he is as cool as Travis.

 

[Definitely Not Riss]

You feeling okay today?

It may or may not be the Frosted Cherry Twisted Teas speaking.

I certainly hope so.

Okay, people. It's crunch time. I'm going to make money this week even if I have to sleep only 10 hours a night.

Big money from Zoltar's Used Cars and others, mixed with a slowish week elsewhere. Some accounts of rejections from CMU and Tobias today. So basically, the usual circus that is mturk.

Welcome back!

Looks like I haven't missed much. I still can't do Zoltar's at this point

it's very easy to get upset and fired up.
I mean, after all, you're not thinking about a dollar or two,
you're thinking about the integrity of your account, i'm sure
that said, when you contact someone in a working relationship
even one as simple-seeming as on mturk,
be professional.
speak professionally. even if they don't.
on a forum, like this, it isn't exactly necessary [for most of us]
but it's different when contacting a requester.

you, as the worker, will maintain your reputation, and it will end up paying you back.

I like what you said but why is it in poem form?

Well, why not?

 

[Definitely Not Riss]

fairsies.

 

[Jharkan]

I like what you said but why is it in poem form?

I don't write poetry anymore.
I've had a few published, but most of them suck
a few years after I had a stroke, (which i'm obviously accrediting the change to)
I found that trying to write started to annoy me
I would get irritated before even sitting down at the pen.
