everybody who got masters today did these hits? they posted this batch on other dates too.

No I never touched those.

 

[weakman]

No masters, not salty...actually thrilled that they handed them out. That means it's still happening, at least once in a literal blue moon lol. Keep on turkin folks! The next time, it might just be YOU!

No, it won't happen for me because I am a loser.

 

[Kallee]

No. After I contacted him they wrote me this.

Thanks for your feedback. This was an evaluation task and we were a bit strict with the evaluation. You got a 27/30 correct rate (90%) from you for our tasks and that is indeed very good quality work for us. The initial payment for the task is low but we are more than happy to pay through "Worker Bonus" for workers who are engaged, and demonstrate good quality along with quantity. In order to make up for your rejections, we will be sending you a batch of another 100 HITS and we promise to make it up for you. Please respond if you would be willing to take that up (we have raised the time limit per HIT to 5 min.).


Notes for future HITS:
------------------------------
The key thing we are trying to determine is whether the type of product indicated in the query matches the type of product described in Product Title. So for ex: If the query was "Berries" and product returned was some sausage containing "Berries" than that would not work for us because the requested item was a fruit vs. the returned item was a sausage. This is one single most important criteria for us while judging results (i.e. Product Type should exactly match).

I figured out on my own who the person was by their email.

Are you going to share what the batch was?

 

[Cmoney]

And you thought it couldn't get worse.

Your hair looks sick yo. Nice!

 

[aturkerhiding]

Am I missing the part about how that has any connection to Masters?

That's the part I don't know. No one knows how Masters is given out. I did this hit last week...

Your hair looks sick yo. Nice!

Thanks, I"m super pleased with it.

 

[aturkerhiding]

Are you going to share what the batch was?

No. They originally asked me to do 14,000 of them right after that. I haven't heard back.

Okay, I'm just confused because you said "I figured out after they rejected 3 of my hits and contacting them, that it was an Amazon employee high enough up to be involved in handing out masters." I couldn't figure out where the Masters part comes in?

 

[Rerun]

Thanks, I"m super pleased with it.

I'm glad to hear that! You seemed down on it last night!!

(And it does look great!!)

did some people get Masters today?

 

[hyzmarca]

Or it could just be random selection from the pool of people with sufficient stats.

 

[Cmoney]

did some people get Masters today?

Nah Fam...

 

[Just another turker]

did some people get Masters today?

What on earth would make you think that?

 

[The Bad Ash]

If anything aside from a lot of people getting masters. This is like a MTC reunion today.

 

[Jaded]

I'm glad to hear that! You seemed down on it last night!!

(And it does look great!!)

I was, but I redyed it today and fixed the color. It was a lot lighter last night. (I may or may not have documented the process in the face thread.)

I need to get out more.

(thanks <3 )
