12/27 - Tis the Season Tuesday!

[Kadauchi]

@Kadauchi Any updates lately to MTurk Suite? And do you have a website of some sort that lets people know of certain updates and what not to your extensions and scripts?

Nothing today yet, but I added some things and fixes yesterday. No I don't have a website.

Happy Tuesday kids!

who are the requesters on those hits? (was their TO any good?)

the power ball tickets one you've got to be careful and make sure you didn't typo or guess at any of the numbers. If it's the one i'm thinking of it's a small mom and pop shop wanting help recording turned in powerball and megamillions tickets the requestor is pretty strict.

Walter Goldenburg & Katie Fanelli. I read their ratings after I got rejected and Walter Goldenburg is considered Red and Katie Fanelli is orange. I read that they gave random rejections and they never responded to emails but I have done plenty of them and never had any issues until the other day. Like for both of them I did probably 20 of them for both and received 2 rejections from each and they approved the other ones instantly. I didn't even bother to write them to ask what happened because I received 1 rejection from another person and then I wrote them and then the next day I received an email stating that I was writing too many people and that if I continued that I would be suspended from MTurk.

Have to be a long-time member on MTF to get it. The requester is a [redacted] so it may not be a bad thing that you don't get it.

Yeah I'm pretty good at double checking my work but it is possible that I may make a mistake but I normally check my work like 10 times especially for something as simple.

I've never heard of this. Do you still have the email to show us the exact wording? Just curious.
