This was the reply from Wisdom of the Crowd ... basically if you messed up an attention check or blew one of their easy questions, they rejected everything else.

Thank you for your participation in the Wisdom of the Crowds challenge! While reviewing your submissions, our system flagged you for one or more of the following reasons:
- Giving an identical answer to all questions (or over 80%) of questions in at least one hit
- Failing simple attention checks such as giving wrong answers to very obvious/easy questions
- Giving repeated unreasonable answers, such as estimating "5" for the population or GDP of a country

The above are just a few examples the checks we had put in place in our system.

Although this may have been the case for only one of the HITs you attempted, we cannot consider any of your other responses as your worker ID failed one or more of these simple checks. We also understand there may have been technical issues you may have faced while attempting to do these HITs. We assure you that these checks were only done on HITs you submitted and we did not reject you based on the fact that some HITs were incomplete or broken due to technical issues. We also did not reject you based on how well you may have performed on the task or how much you may have scored.

We had about 2000 users for the experiment, and our system rejected only about 1%. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and we sincerely appreciate your time and participation in the Wisdom of Crowds challenge.

Ouch. Big sorry to everyone who got these rejections.

Those Wisdom of the Crowd bee hits from a few weeks back.

Ohhh yipppeee all these 3 cents are adding up

 

[Kathryn]

What I'm learning is that it is far less stressful to be lazy.

 

[T. Leela]

Those things are terrifying.
I might have had a small childhood incident.

 

[T. Leela]

You may have "auto submit" ticked. I noticed that will happen for any HIT with a comment box.

that was actually my first thought, but nope.

 

[mrs.pynk]

Hmm. I didn't get any rejections as far as I can see, but with a few of those I could see getting the "ACs" wrong if you knew nothing about geography or something.

I suck so very much with geography that it is actually embarrassing. So I'll take the hits, I can see me screwing that up very easy.... but rejecting everything else for 1 screw up on a category I couldn't opt out of kinda hurts.

[ChristopherASA]

well thank you! Just lately, i dunno...but that was very nice. :embarrased:

"Crap patches" is the medical term for "just lately." They still suck. Maybe treat yourself to something indulgent and really, really nice? Prime Rib, lobster tail, and a message? [ <---- that would be my choice. maybe ] Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...........

 

[K'Lee]

Writing, returned.

Ah, I didn't realize it was literally every hit getting rejected. That stinks, I hope they change their mind on the mass rejections

 

[MirrorMan]

And just like that...

All of the HITs were gone.

And just like that...

All of the HITs were gone.

So we can leave now?

Imma just stare at my HF for about three more minutes and see if anything pops up, but after that, I think it's safe to say it's all over. We beat MTurk.

 

[ChristopherASA]

Got 12 bonuses from Stanford Social Systems for those wisdom of crowd hits I did back on 2-23 to 2-24.
OK, time to try & buy pants online (for some reason they rarely ever fit me, don't get it).

Congrats on the bonuses. Pants - men's clothing sizes are weird to begin with, but I would never try and buy pants on line.

 

[aveline]

You know, we would all appreciate it if you weren't so negative all the time.

 

[LlamaRhama]

I'm determined to cap these endors
