Waiting on the proceed button....

Mine appears to be stuck. I've been on a "please wait" pop up for nearly 20 minutes. I sent a message to the requester about it.

I'm on "please wait" in game 7 for over 5 mins now.

Mine appears to be stuck. I've been on a "please wait" pop up for nearly 20 minutes. I sent a message to the requester about it.

Well this is just great. The requester responded immediately with this:
part of experiment, read instructions


I mentioned that I'm worried about the timer expiring and nothing was said about it. ugh

Its obviously broke. Says "may have to wait 14 mins during experiment" but mine has been stuck for over 20. lol

I didn't think these things were worth it when they were 10 cents. Now they're only 5! Come on.

I'm returning....

Probably a good call. Here's where I'm at with it now:

My response to the "part of experiment, read instructions" email:
I read all of the instructions. I realize there will be waiting, but the "please wait" screen has exceeded the fourteen minutes. My concern is the timer on the HIT expiring before the experiment is completed. (I sent a screenshot as well)

Requester's response:
rgr Jen keep me updated please

My response:
Will do. At this point, I am still on the same "please wait" page and there is 18 minutes remaining on the HIT timer.

I don't know why I was such an idiot to retry this.
It was broken a few months ago and he kept blaming me before emailing back 10 minutes later and cancelling the whole thing.

Now he's not wanting to pay me after I'm 25 minutes or so deep in to this pile of shit.

I'm just going to submit it here soon.
This guy is a complete joke.

 

[SisphyeanTurker]

why is it so slow on mturk lately , ugh

It's been terrible for the past two weeks. I'm guessing it's because school is winding down. Hopefully it will pick back up in January.

He put on Reddit that it might be a server crash.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I should have figured it out just by the way the instructions are worded. It's obvious that my time has been wasted so far, and I'm going to submit it with my worker ID in the last minute if I have not heard a response. I'll be direct about how much of my time has been wasted and I expect to be compensated because I missed out on other work while dealing with this.
He just sent another email about a possible server crash and asked for another screenshot.
*table flip*

(continuation of our email conversation)
Requester's response:
maybe server crash , screenshot please

My response:
The page is the same. Here is another screenshot. There are six minutes remaining on the timer. I will submit the HIT with my worker ID. I think it is more than fair to be compensated for my time and effort to help you with this issue. I have missed out on other work while working with you on this HIT.

Requester:
IT guy told me that there is a database issue. In case you did not finish in time, do not worry. You will be compensated.

Me:
Okay, thank you for letting me know and for compensating me for my time. There was four minutes remaining on the timer; I have submitted the HIT with my worker I abc123

That is all. Everyone is mad including the requester; at least there will be compensation seemingly.
