Just popped in my head last night...

is it possible to make a script that tracks your earnings for the week/month and set a weekly/monthly goal just as you can daily with HITDB?

Has anyone experienced this problem? I used to do a lot of Crowdsource hits for keywords and url rankings. I kept running into the problem that after hitting "Accept" on a hit, it would then say there were no remaining hits, but it wouldn't tell me this until AFTER I had accepted it, so I had to send it back. I have a 100% acceptance rate with them. After this happened a few times, less than 10 I think, I got a message that b/c of my return rate, I could no longer do as many hits.

Now, I'm lucky to do 2 or 3 a day of each type, but it still constantly waits until I accept the hit to say there are none left, even though it will say there are 15,000 available, and the preview will show as if it's available. I'm afraid to click accept on one at all, b/c I won't know it's going to say that until I do, and then I'm stuck having to return it. I can't improve my return rate b/c this still happens every day. My friend, who also does mturk, because she just signed up and has no return rate yet, they'll let her do something like 40 a day.

I emailed mturk to ask if my rate could be fixed, and if anything could be done. They just replied back and said it didn't matter, b/c most companies don't look at return rate. But Crowdsource was the main one I liked doing.

I can't find an email address to contact Crowdsource anywhere. Has anyone else experienced this, or know a trick to get around it, or know how to contact Crowdsource directly?

Thanks so much for any help u can give!

Hi ,
Is it there any script for hidind the unwanted hits in availabe hits for me ?

This is going to be a quick run down of how to use AutoHotKey and then use the scripts provided by other Turkers to make some batches a lot easier. AutoHotKeys is only available for Windows systems. I am not familiar with similar tools for Mac but if there is enough demand for it I will research it and do the write up.

First you will need to install AutoHotKeys from :

http://www.autohotkey.com/

Once this program is installed on your computer you need to right click on your desktop, scroll down to 'new', and then select 'AutoHotKey Script'.

This will post new icon onto your desktop which you can rename to suit your needs.

Now you can right click on this icon and select 'edit script'. A Wordpad document will pop up. In this document is where you copy/paste or build your own script. At the top of this document will be some writing, don't delete this.

Scripts are fairly simple to create once you know the commands. Most of these commands can be found here:

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm

Here is what a script may look like once it is done. Very simple.

#space::
Run http://www.google.com
return

The '#' designates to press the 'windows key' and the 'space bar' at the same time
Run designates what the task will do
Return ends the line so if you wanted to put another task underneath that task you would be able to.

Now that you have the script that you want in the Wordpad document select 'file' and then 'save' and then you can close the script.

To start the script just double click on the desk top icon and you should see a little green 'H' icon appear in your system tray. This is to show you that the script is active. For the script above all you have to do now is hold down the 'windows key' and press 'space' and your default browser will open with google.com

You can set any key to be a function using AutoHotKeys but anytime that script is running that key will only function as the script tells it to. In order to make that key function normally you must end the script.

To do this all you have to do is right click on the hot key icon in your system tray and select 'exit'

This should be all you need to know about how to use AutoHotKey to make your Turking more efficient. If you have any questions post them in here and I will try and help you solve these issues.

I found the script from the Turkopticon add-on repo, and decided to edit it a bit to make it faster.

If anyone would like to use the script it can be found here: https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/166211

What makes this script different from the official release?

The official add-on works by taking control of the page until Turkopticon has finished loading. At peak times of the day the load times can be really slow. The purpose of this script was to bypass that problem. When we turk we want mturk to respond right away, or else we could miss out on a great hit. With this script it does not interfere with the page loading. This script operates in the background, and caches responses when it can. The main goal is to make the script transparent from mturk’s loading time so that we can accept hits faster; find hits faster, without the sacrifice of TO.


How does the cache work?

The way the cache works is after someone visits a page, on the next request that page is served from the cache. Our cache server is "turkopticon.istrack.in". If a page is not cached or needs revalidation it will contact the origin server "turkopticon.differenceengines.com" and create the cache. The load times will be slow on the first request, and on revalidation. It's slow because the origin server usually is under high load.

An example of a cached page is here: http://turkopticon.istrack.in/A3MI6MIUNWCR7F

You may have noticed you didn't have to sign in to see the review. The reviews are publicly available and it's like this because reading reviews through the origin server takes too long. In order for us all to see the reviews when we want to see them NOW the data has been cached and made publicly available. An account does have to be used so logging out has been disabled. To respect as much privacy as we can reading the accounts reviews and editing settings has been disabled. The email address at the top of the page has also been removed. If this is used for good as intended, there should be no problem. The data will be cached for 7 days. If we need to see the latest review data there is an option at the top of the page to "purge" the page, and get a new one from the origin.

Credit goes to goughghan and Zerda.Fennecus for coming up with this. This will set all of the selections to "non-adult" and then you can just review all of them and change the ones you need to.

Just copy and paste into your autohotkey script and then run script.
#LShift::
Loop 104
{
Send {Tab}
Send {Right}
Send {Right}
Send {Right}
Send {Right}
Send {Right}
Send {Right}
}
return


Also if you want to just go through them using hot keys you can do this script

You have to click the first bubble to get started, and I usually scroll down with my scroll wheel as I'm going and make corrections with the mouse.

1::
Send {Tab}
Send {Tab}
Send {Down}
Send {Down}
Send {Down}
Send {Down}
Send {Down}
Send {Down}
return

2::
Send {Tab}
Send {Tab}
Send {Down}
Send {Up}
return

3::
Send {Tab}
Send {Tab}
Send {Down}
return

4::
Send {Tab}
Send {Tab}
Send {Down}
Send {Down}
Send {Down}
return

1= Non adult
2= hard core
3= explicit
4= suggestive

everything else I just click with the mouse because it doesn't happen often enough really. Feel free to change the numbers to fit a style that works best for you!

drag this bookmark to your bookmark bar or rightclick add bookmark
MTurk contact



this will popup 3 prompts
for Hit ID, Requester ID Requester Name.

please be careful with this, amazon could easily make this
more difficult. don't pester requesters to add non master Hits
for example, this is one reason why you can no longer contact
requesters that you are not qualified for. please don't inundate
requesters with questions especially if you won't be doing
their hits anyway. choose your battles.
also be careful to add the proper piece for each prompt.
the Hit ID and requester ID is alphanumeric part of the links
posted on the forum

here's a madeup example.
I dropped a character so it will be an error so don't try this.
Title: Hiring Decisions
Requester: JW [A3LHLR9Z70U8NQ] (TO)
Description: Evaluate a job applicant based on brief information
Reward: $0.20 Time Allotted: 15 minutes
Qualifications: Total approved HITs is not less than 50, HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 50, Location is US
Link: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2KGW3K4F0OHOQI407ABO9L94NGL
this is your typical hit export posted on the forum

Hit ID:2KGW3K4F0OHOQI407ABO9L94NGL from the end of the Hit link
Requester ID:A3LHLR9Z70U8NQ from the end of the requester and TO link
Requester Name: JW

I use this bookmarklet all the time to contact requesters that have
unlikely or impossible qualifications that they probably didn't notice
like equal 95 instead of greater than 95
from US and from IN
or to contact requesters on a hit that abandoned on me
not that I have found a decent way to get them to do anything.
but I do let them know they have too short a timer
and mention any typo's I notice
or wording that makes their instructions ambiguous.

the best way to get a contact link is still to go into
hits assigned to you while the hit is active
click show details, click the link in the lower right.
I usually try to view all the requesters hits
then rightclick into a new tab the Hit I want to work on
if there are problems then I can click file->work offline
in firefox and pull up that page again.

it's still a bit of a pain to put together the contact link
even using this bookmarklet, but it gives you the option.
in some cases, pointing a requester to the great hits thread
where people are having problems can get the point acrost.

**edit the properties to the code below if forum mangles it.
Note:
I usually click for a new tab in firefox, then select the
contact bookmark but sometimes nothing happens.
if I load the tab with my local home page or some other page
then it does popup the first prompt as expected.

haven't tested anywhere but firefox but it should work.
