oooo really

I'm still getting captchas so clearly you have shadow masters

Every. god. damn. 34. hits.

I did 2/3.

the only sure thing was that they seemed to disappear at the same time for everyone who lost 'em (around 8 PM EST on Monday)

the next day the mTurk blog got updated with the premium qualification post, so the tinfoil came out

Anyone having problems with the audio in that language learning hit?
After about 2 minutes of audio, it just goes back to 0:00 and pauses. I've gone through three times. What do?

It was broken for me when I tried it yesterday and returned it.

Thanks for the info, all.

Maybe they increased the cap on the capchas because I'm still getting them but once a day. I've been doing those huge batches, and only gotten one. So it's definitely strange.

Poop sticks. Seemed like a fun/interesting hit too.

I still get captchas and I didnt do the profile tasks. You guys may be onto something.

 

[TobyF]

With throttling now. Why do they even need captchas?

 

[TurkingMaster]

I'm about to run ham on these A9's then we'll see who the real master earner is on this forum

Haven't had a captcha in two days.

people who haven't filled out profiles - fill them out and see if you stop getting captchas. but only if you don't mind filling them out because who knows.

Also, I tried searching for the "how to contact a requester" but couldn't find it. Do you happen to have a link to that thread?

did anyone not fill out the 3 profile hits from amazon, who is not getting captchas? other than masters.

Amazon's site says that when someone fills out the profile questions, it can take up to 30 days for the answers to be reflected in their account. So if this do-the-questions-get-no-CAPTCHA thing is true, one could assume it also takes up to 30 days for the CAPTCHA to be removed.
