Congrats new Masters!

Hopefully, my day will come soon.

 

[Vanyanka]

No. People have gotten it who were here for less than 3 months.

I got it at 27K and was active for about 6 or so months.

 

[Kat8mouse]

is this for real . . . it can't be . . . I've only been turking 11 months.

Congratulations! You have qualified as a Master on Mechanical Turk. This achievement reflects your demonstrated accuracy in completing HITs. Please note you must maintain high HIT accuracy or risk losing this qualification.

Mechanical Turk Masters enjoy these special benefits:
• Access to HITs that require a Masters qualification.
• No more CAPTCHAs! That's right; we've removed the CAPTCHA for Masters on ALL of the HITs you complete.

Kudos on earning the Masters distinction!

Sincerely,
The Mechanical Turk Team

I had about 22K approved hits when I got masters but I did the Social Photo hits so I was sure to get it.

 

[ducky]

Nope. I don't have 100k completed.

get to work

 

[The Bad Ash]

Lowest I've ever seen someone get Masters is 2.2k

Last time it was handed out I heard about a guy who had <1000 and had been turking for just over a month. I also remember how much that pissed me off.

 

[Li0ness]

I would request a non-masters thread, but I feel like I'd be the only able participant.

I would be there with you! Oh. You said "able." *slinks off*

 

[CindyLoUUWho]

Been a long time, folks ... and it's my anniversary on here.

And I got it.

 

[hyzmarca]

Holy fuck, I got it, too.

There must have been a mistake.

 

[TurRaider8v]

Maybe not doing those Amazon Profile hits and not looking at their new worker site were factors. (trying to justify my non masters status)

 

[Kliq]

I was just granted SUPER MASTERS!

Masters is so 15 minutes ago

 

[LlamaRhama]

I like how this brings out all the people who never post lol

 

[panzer]

Anyone else with masters already get paranoid about losing theirs when it's given out to new people?

I'm high on paranoia rn. I've been high on paranoia ever since people started talking about getting suspensions after doing barcodes, tho.

Im still getting captchas didn't someone a long time ago have this problem as well... what did they do to stop it?? Do you remember @electrolyte ?

I haven't looked at their new workers site, either. It sucks. Nah. I think it's all about the A9s and Amazon Interests.

My husband is never on mturk. I should tell him to check his email. Maybe he got masters.

 

[C to the J]

Okay who wants to start speculating on what batch gave you all masters THIS time?!

VDX

Wats a post? where dem hits at?

I'm wondering if maybe they granted Masters to replace some of the workers that got suspended after doing those barcodes?
