Oh thank goodness I caught a Gibson. I can do something else for a few minutes.

Just make sure you're not rejecting a wish because it doesn't have a question mark. "Please tell me how to reset my password" is the same as "Can you please tell me how to reset my password?" "I need to know whether this email is valid" is the same as "Would you tell me whether this email is valid?"

That's exactly what I just said.

Yet the review HIT instructions don't say this at all. He hasn't replied to my email asking for clarification, either.

 

[redtokyoboxers]

That's the way I've been doing them but the review hits say statements while the writing hits say questions.

Yeah. I'm looking at it more of a spirit of the law type situation, then. Does this seem like a response that makes sense within the spirit of what he's suggesting? Then it's a good response.

Eric Sites still going strong I see

the writing hit has a statement in the example.

Example Completed Task:

• Question 1: I don't have a SocialTech account
• Answer 1: Sorry, but someone requested a password reset on your account.

• Question 2: When will I get locked out?
• Answer 2: You have 8 hours before you will be locked out of your SocialTech account.

• 
  etc... All questions and anwsers must be different.

I've opted for the .15 ones... but I'm not catching any

Literally 100's of the $1.00 now

This is exactly what we are told to do in the writing HITs:

"Enter a response that a SocialTech user would send after receiving the text message or email above."

and

"Enter the response a SocialTech Security representative would send to the given customer question/statement above."

So for the review ones, questions that are statements are valid.

first batch should end up with a total of 7,000 per Sites. I emailed earlier to find out whether there was a limit on these.

Verb To Be - AM/IS/ARE- Important. Geesh

You're essentially writing up a script. Don't write 5 separate questions and answers that don't follow. each hit is a self contained flowing conversation. Even if an idea is similar, for instance, 2 hits are about a user who doesn't actually have account w/ that group, write up the Q & A a bit different. First question sets the tone. Follow from there.

You can do either. Over the course of these posting I've done about 150 and all have been separate questions, all approved. Someone contacted him today and said a string was fine as long as it wasn't garbage. Whatever you're more comfortable with.

Someone mentioned earlier that grammar/spelling are grounds for rejecting a question/statement right?

Yeah, either are fine. Each as individual questions/answers and as an entire dialogue as one HIT are acceptable, too.

 

[spchles1]

Yes, someone got an email from him that said that.

 

[WalkingEmphasis]

For the answers, yeah, because they need to appear very professional. As questions, there's more leeway.

 

[ChristopherASA]

Bugs the hell out of me when people write or say, these ones, or those ones. These or those would suffice.

Oh yes!, oh God YES!! Don't have any idea where people got that shit. ............... Drives me BATTY! I've finially found a "These/Those Soul Mate"!!! I actually correct people on this infraction/stupidity/dumb shit. { <------- I'm just a tad emotional about this ... maybe }

Yes, I emailed Sites about this and he responded that yes it would be. The answers especially. The questions, not so much.

 

[nopoopwarez]

I feel sorry for all of the poor souls that I've been reviewing then.
