05/22 - Meerkat Monday!

[Maria Tortilla]

I've apparently had masters since 5/12/14. Guess they like to hand it out in May!

 

[Kathryn]

I'm going to vegas next week...

 

[Kliq]

~1000 people got masters according to kadauchi.

This is a dark day.

 

[YAHU]

Consolation prize for getting your eggs scrambled today, no doubt.

It's probably not going to make that much of a difference.

It depends on what you're relying on for income. If you're doing this part time and half your stuff is random masters crap, then it will. If you're a high horse closed qualler then no, it won't.

Here's mine, so add one more to the tally.

No, but if it is still rolling out I still have a chance right? I have submitted almost 150,000 hits and I have a 99.7% approval rating.

don't know, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. seems to me like it's rolling out.

I'm just thinking of all them times ppl say "I caught xx dollar hit but got a captcha, FUCK"

 

[basketcasey]

Is it bad I am excited to just do CI's with no captcha?

Same

 

[Just another turker]

So are people recently applying for masters or are they just throwing them out at once for those that have applied

 

[Pleco]

Going to miss your snarky masters posts.

Looking forward to your snarky Mturk actually sucks for everyone posts.

I wish I had some snarky or sarcastic reply to give you, but I legit don't know how to react to good news so I'm just gonna pretend this whole thing didn't happen.

 

[Kadauchi]

RIP Barcodes

 

[Li0ness]

I'm about to sound like a whiny brat, but I'ma need an option in the forums themselves to hide Masters hits, at the rate y'all got it.

[Vanyanka]

Wait, is Masters really being given out?

I doubt applying even matters.
