How are you guys doing taxes for this this year? I'm still new to doing my taxes myself and since I have income coming from both this and art commissions, I'm not sure how to do either of those since it's not under an employer.

I would consult with a tax professional.

Thanks! I found it on a google image search for " zoltar mturk" and LOL'd real hard.

Hello all. Late start here today because of the main job. Hope to get a few bucks in but having a hard time getting motivated so I will cross my fingers and take what i get.

That's just how Google's HITs work. They all run on the same system (well, most), so if you get locked out of one, you get locked out of them all until that HIT expires. I'm not sure if anyone has figured out why it happens, or if it's even intended to work that way. It just does.

Interesting... I'm gonna spend the next day or two trying to figure out how the Google requesters do this exactly.

Naturally,
I've already read the Google requester FAQ (required mturk reading right?) ... and I'm aware about the "human sounding" requester names Google usually uses but I didn't think the wills video hits were from Google. Most of the Google requester hits have similar looking buttons and have the same "smooth" "interface"... The wills video hits are VERY ugly wiTh hideous colors VERY large ugly icons ...

could it be locking out for another reason? Has this type of lockout ever happened with zoltars and another Non Google requester ?

I'm gonna try and find out

not all Google requesters use the same interface. And only Google uses that error. (I think it has something to do with the form they use or something.)

Ok Changed my mind. I am just way to exhausted today. I am going to get some coffee and watch some tv and not make my brain think at all. Hope you all have a great day. See you next year.

Pretty sure Wills are hosted on Google's Endor platform, just like Zoltar and Sergey and a few others that I am forgetting because I have not seen them in months ( I believe Virals and Mountains were as well.) Just because they do not look alike does not meant they are nor hosted on the same platform.

Of course, I may be totally wrong, and will be corrected by someone. Or several someones.

 

[catnapped]

Why is that?

Two reasons off the top of my head:

Lost the qual for str1122 so that money albeit not gigantic is gone.

The [redacted] qual isn't anywhere near as lucrative as it was. I don't know if he's getting tired of posting or his workload (customers) slowed way down. That and his cutting pay doesn't help either.

That is correct, except it's a hell of a lot more than "a few others".

Just get the ever popular @Kadauchi script "Is this hosted on Endor?" and pair it with "Queue Order Fix" and you shouldn't run into many problems.

Wrong again. There are many others. MANY.

Okay, MANY, SEVERAL, BUNCHES of others.

Have you ever done an MBTI personality test? My INTP senses another INTP on the premises.
