Morning, everyone. I have to take the forum down for a couple minutes because I apparently broke something and my overnight backups and stuff never ran. >.>

Should be quick.

Oh, I was wondering why I was able to get so many Geo's. I didn't even notice this. Was a special qualification. Horay! Day saved. Thanks GeoHIVE! I like cranes. We used to go camping to the Aransas Pass Bird sanctuary. Whooping cranes sometimes wintered there. And occasionally you could see them feeding with a group of Sandhill cranes on grain on the west end of Galveston. I bet they don't go there any more.

PE last week 83.54.

I'm still waiting on a bonus from the Timothy D. Wilson HIT on 8/18... I've messaged the requester but haven't heard back. What should I do next?

 

[Maria Tortilla]

Projected Earnings 8/18-8/24:
$228.05

I could have earned more if I wasn't violently ill Friday and yesterday. Still owe payments $40.

I got the following email from a requester.... I emailed because I had ten minutes left but when I submitted it said time was up. Will this cause a rejection?

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply.

I feel sorry that I couldn't solve this time issue problem. I tried to solve this with another worker from my HIT, but it wasn't solved because of too many people in MTurk.
With these reasons, I couldn't compensate you and I promise you not to use your survey answers. I'm really sorry.

Thanks,
Jina

"I couldn't compensate you" certainly sounds like it unless it relied entirely on bonuses. I'd probably contact them back and explain what rejections do to workers and politely ask if you can retake it or something without the timer.

Hope you are feeling better today.

So something I'm really curious about. If it's possible for requester to know who already completed their HITs and for them to put "You've already completed the maximum amount of HITs allowed by this requester" on the page AFTER we already accepted their HITs, why can't they do it on the page before?

That particular item was published in 2014, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a newer version out there from some of the more recent HITs.

Too bad there isn't publically available sales numbers for this item to know how much money could have been made from this.
