I've been a member since 2012 but only have 20k hits and didn't get the qual. Maybe it has to do with the number of hits you've done which grants it.

Not so much. It's effectively random after minimums are met, which you're well past (same as I had been past them for years but didn't get randomly included till now). http://www.mturkcrowd.com/threads/masters-qualification-info-everything-you-need-to-know.1453/

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

oh yeah, wasn't sure if I should do a hit or not, so I did one, it approved and the rest is history. Didn't even know I had Masters until I was doing hits and noticed I wasn't getting any capchas, so then I finally saw my email.

I used to have a bigger drinking problem

glad you clarified

 

[Rerun]

it was like 4 in the afternoon here... so it was like 1 there...

Are you a cuckoo clock now?

 

[Sara Gates]

Wow congrats everyone. Nothing here but happy for everyone who got it!

I used to have a bigger drinking problem

"used to"

i'm going to do 4 masters surveys and then go take some shots

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 don't do Customer Interest and I only did the most recent A9 batches to clear captchas.

I DID however do about 10 HITs from Amazon Requester Inc - browse classification the other day, though. Their HITs are normally masters-only so when I saw a non-masters batch I was like "alright" and did some, but they weren't well paying enough to do more than a few. It was to look at an Amazon page for a search link and identify which results were not categorized properly. Hmm.

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

I've had the account for a year and a half

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 just get it a few minutes ago? I hope masters are still rolling out.

 

[klingeemonster]

It's cool. I only have to wait 18 more months.

I got it with a year and half on Mturk, but I have 310000 hits approved.

 

[basketcasey]

I have yet to do a masters hit. I'm still sitting here re-watching Arrested Development and eating snacks.
