04/27 - The Hunt for Hits on Thursday!

[MacLeod]

Hi, just checked in and saw this. I spoke to some nice lady today and she said she was sending my issue to 2 different people. I have had emails from:
Adele S. - Today (Amazon payment lady) 9am
Samantha B. - Today (mTurk response) 4am
Michael G - Today (mTurk response) 3am
Ahkeel P - Monday 10 pm


No resolution yet. Coming up on 72 hr of 'account under review' in about two hours.

I am on just about the same time frame, just a little bit over 72 hours. Happened early Monday about 8:00 am. I got emails from Adam J. on Monday afternoon, responding to my email of Monday morning, and Ahkeel P early this morning in response to a request sent by the woman I spoke with in Payments yesterday afternoon (her name was Anita). Both emails are very similar, and are the same manner of phrase as the ones on Reddit. I haven't gotten the 2 week one yet.

Are you able to transfer money from mTurk to payments? Mine is still stuck on processing. I transferred Sunday night, and the review happened Monday morning. The lady in payments cannot retrieve it, even though I have the transfer ID. She did take a look at my payments account, and found everything in order and verified. She had no idea what was going on either. She said she would call me back Friday (tomorrow), but I think it is ultimately up to the mTurk staff, which scares me. I have no idea how to get a real person there.

Is it just me or am I not the only one that gives an extremely wide berth to any HIT that requires access to my Facebook or Twitter account?

We give up our privacy when we sign up to facebook regardless. Might as well get paid for it!

well this has to be good, right?

They take too long to do at 3 cents each.

yes they're pretty bad.
Mostly this was a bad joke, I'm a Stephen King fan.

Maybe your own, but some deceptive surveys end up being things like this, that access your FRIENDS' personal info, too, and they didn't consent to anything: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ed-cruz-president-campaign-facebook-user-data

I wrote this for the master's kingston's batch. there are still changes that have to be made and it doesn't work on all types of things so double check everything if you use this. but this does speed them up.

I won't do them because first, it's an MTurk TOS violation to require workers to do that and second, see my link above from The Guardian.

 

[scrmcasey]

Ha, no. Should I put that on my list?

Oh yes, that is one of my favorites between the two franchises.

Yes, I found a Fiber One bar in the kitchen to eat before my lunch, which was a quinoa veggie burger and fries.

That sounds like a disgusting flavor for a Fiber One bar

The lunch was a quinoa veggie burger with fries.
