He should just block shitty workers

 

[lobo925]

What should it be changed to

Didn't you just get paid $50 to write these instructions or something?

 

[aturkerhiding]

Yeah, but to do that, the HITs have to have a qual on them to begin with and all the workers would have to have a value assigned.

I didn't think he was going to update them for this batch....I thought it was more for next batch, and we had talked about assigning quals.

For the first part. He asked me to do the review instructions too.

What should it be changed to

If he's not going to actually block people, it should state that rather than give threats that couldn't really be applied.

 

[Drwho10]

I vote to have @electrolyte communicate with eric for specific instruction/ rule changes she's the most qualified and familiar with mturk rules and how it affects the community. Can you please contact him?

 

[basketcasey]

But its technically not correct. He should seriously look into how mturk works before setting arbitrary instructions

I feel like he really should have worked all this out before posting. It's kind of a pita to keep changing the instructions mid-batch.

are you sure that's the nomination you want to go with? you could also have @Kerek try to explain what you guys want via a collage of red panda pictures

Technically he could still block people from doing the hits. Requesters do it all the time. I've gotten blocked from doiong certain types of hits without getting the amazon notification. The hit I'm thinking of are the Ben .03 hits. Im not allowed to do them anymore and I never had a qual to do them in the first place.

That might lead to an entire red panda instruction set

That's not really how it works.

I think you should be the one communicating with him, I bet you could reach him on a really emotional level.

That explains a WHOLE BUNCH. Like why people who don't have an account are being asked to click to verify.

It all makes sense now

This is what causes requesters to move to Appen.

We really are training bots to take over

 

[aturkerhiding]

That's not really how it works.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I did my best. I'm open to suggestions

Aren't you getting paid? Do we get a cut?
