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 think that happened to @Blue? Or he got an email saying he had Masters but couldn't do Masters HITs for awhile? Something like that.

OMGGG

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!

did you guys who just got masters - did you do those non-masters amazon hits? the ones that some of us were thinking that we should do them just in case. they were simple and had a low cap, I think the cap was about 10. they posted several batches that stayed up for awhile due to the cap. also I did get suspicious of that big batch of masters amazon cat hits that were up last week. that hasn't been normal for years.

I did

 

[TurRaider8v]

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

I'm thinking it is the A9s too. I've never done one but it seems like it was the go to batch for most the past few months.

 

[Kerek]

So 1820 + 989? That's a huge jump, if true.

Depends on when people were added and how masters falls off compared to the rest of the population. I'd say that's probably on the low end. It's probably like 1500-4000. Then add in the new 989.

It could be that now that the platform is what it is, there's a group of die hard long term masters that are keeping the number at a level acceptable to Amazon, and they're only adding a chunk when it falls too low, hence the long gaps in handing it out.

nope.

 

[MinkyMona]

I didn't know people got suspended after doing barcodes. Seems I'm never around when they post now.

 

[Jezebel]

So the criteria seems to be over 100k hits and active for at least 2 years? Anyone that got Masters with stat less than that.....you lucky lucky bung hole

Yes, not quite 3 years, but only 52000 HITs.
