27K Trace objects and rising

Lol.. their soft-bans didn't stop people from doing horrible tracing, and setting a qual that greatly reduced the number of people working on the HITs, a lot of them being banned probably won't work either.

If they really want high quality tracing, they need to increase the pay. Also, add in an "attention check" every 5-20 HIT randomly where they already know what they are looking for, like the original Zebra one that you had to pass before even working on them.

If they want people to do a good job. maybe actually send people they ban feedback - we soft banned you for these 5 traces, for these reasons, please review. Rather than. we threw a dart at a wall, see you in a few months, we hope these two months of not working/practicing our hits made you better at them.

Should I email them. they literally lied to me when they said I would be able to participate in the next NEW BATCH, yet here we are. I suppose I should wait a few days for everyone to chill out but damn.

Alright I'm back from Ikea...did I miss much?

Andrew Lampinen - probably one of the worst hits I've done in a while. It actually caused me physical discomfort while working on it.

Hello all - hope things are going well today - I'd been banned ever since the first letter saying that I did great and that soft banning shouldn't be a problem and then was banned from doing any batches even without attempting any - so I didn't even look at my email till today and sure enough - there's a letter saying I can do these hits - I just don't get their inconsistency - though I do fill a little vindicated in that I feel I do very good work and didn't deserve any ban for anything I've done in the three years I've been Turkin - ramble, ramble, ramble....Again Hello all

I got the last qual, AND never got a soft ban, and still didn't get this one.
I'm starting to think they're messing with us on purpose.

In other news...the Ikea check out lady forgot to ring up one of my boxes so what I thought was going to be about 320 dollars was 267 so...I ain't complaining.

I'm going to Ikea tomorrow, so I'm sure that's when the HITs will post lmao

I'm trying to find a way to avoid CVT comments now. I was in the same situation as you, no ban, lots of work and no email. And if I dwell on it, I'm annoyed. If not, then I'm too busy trying to get my grind on to care. I will not let it drag me down. That's how turking sucks your soul. i just wish I could tell the forum to block all posts about it. So I'd not see any. (without actually blocking individual workers).

I'm pretty much at the same point as you. I just don't want to hear about it anymore.

I am 5 Ben Petersons away from my weekly goal. Today was actually a great day for me compared to the rest of the week, so I am pleasantly surprised that I will get there today!
