Omg Congratulations - you now have the MTurk Masters Qualification! This means you are part of an elite group of MTurk Workers who have demonstrated a high degree of accuracy in completing HITs across a variety of Requesters. Benefits of the Masters Qualification include: - Exclusive access to work that requires a Master Qualification - You no longer have to complete CAPTCHAs in between HITs. As we add the Masters Qualification to your account, it may take up 24 hours for these changes to take effect. It is important to note that in order to keep the Masters Qualification, you must consistently maintain a high HIT accuracy. Congratulations, The MTurk Team
Came across this the other day and thought it might be appropriate for the turking room in your new house. (There will be a turking room, right?)
Also just a heads up I emailed mturk support asking them why I didn't have masters yet when people were getting it with way less hits completed and worse approval ratings than me. I asked them to check my account because I felt like I deserved it. And a week later I got it so maybe contacting them isn't completely useless after all.
What's even crazier is I finally get masters a day after learning the guy I am renting my house from went behind my back and sold the house so I have to leave in a few weeks. I was thinking about just leaving Florida and moving back to Erie where I grew up and this sort of reaffirms that decision for me.

I want to smack whoever formatted this. Wider columns for gods sake, I can handle more than 4 words per line. Some are 2 words per line and 5 pages long. Make life difficult already on a survey that is a massive amount of reading. Also that 70 minute timer. No pressure.
Awful. I opened up and what is this? Column reading? I hate the format. I switched to a wider monitor and that helped bringing it 5-7 words per line but still no fun.

16 of these left, don't forget that Monday is the last normal hit, and Tuesday I will be posting a SURPRISE Halloween batch. It might happen at 12:00 pm EST, it might happen at 2PM EST. Keep an eye out! Title: Trick or Treat Turk! Happy Halloween! | PANDA Requester: Tjololo [A20IXK8ZV8N72H] (TO) TO Ratings: ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.96 Communicativity ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.88 Generosity ☢☢☢☢☢ 5.00 Fairness ☢☢☢☢☢ 5.00 Promptness Number of Reviews: 36 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Will you get a trick or a treat? Time: 60 minutes Hits Available: 1 Reward: $0.06 Qualifications: Brony is 100; Cheater! has not been granted; DoubleDip has not been granted Donation status: Spoiler I've cut off donations and won't be accepting anymore. If you donate to me now, I'm just keeping it. Qual info (and some other info) is reiterated in the spoiler below. I REPEAT! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE QUAL, CLICK THE SPOILER BUTTON TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT!. If you already read the spoiler last time, this one's the same. Songs: Song 1 Song 2 Spoiler As a reminder, I've changed how the hits work a bit. It's been dragging on a lot (Monday's hit just finished yesterday), so I changed the hits to put out 125 hits at $0.06, instead of 150 at $0.05. Not a huge change, should work out to the same amount in the end, but this will get it done a little faster (as well as give you all an extra penny. Don't spend it all in one place!). Another reminder: I only put out hits Monday and Thursday. The hits may extend to other days, but those are the days that matter for quals. If you didn't win Monday and you see a hit Wednesday, you'll still be eligible on Thursday, because that's when the new batch goes out. Likewise, if you win on Thursday and see a hit on Sunday, you still won't be eligible Monday because that's the next batch. Hopefully that makes sense. Eligibility I decided to go with the same eligibility scheme. You can only win every other hit. Meaning that if you win, you will be ineligible to accept the next hit, but you will be able to accept the one after that. That's the best way to balance fairness with availability and number of hits. Structure I took some people's (unexpected) advice and dropped the pay in favor of having more hits available. There will be 150 hits at $0.05 each, for a total of $10.50 per hit, and $94.50 for the month excluding halloween. Halloween will be its own hit. I'd like to release 150 of those as well, with pay determined by how much I have left over and in the donation pot. Right now it's looking like it'll be around $0.17 each, though that may go up if additional people donate and/or if I get any more money to throw into it. For reference, $0.10/hit is $21, $0.25/hit is $52.50, and $0.50/hit is $105. Right now I have around $40, so if you want to increase the pot for everyone, look below for the URL. Frequency I'm going to be posting on Monday and Thursday, within the 12:00PM EST hour. People seemed to be the most active this time, and that was the two times I got most reported as "available" without complaints on my survey. This was the only "surprise" hit, hopefully it was still fun! reiterated information The qual can be requested at https://www.mturk.com/mturk/requestqualification?qualificationId=37O6I4CP4ADSVOT2B526P9T1IYF66V using the password 37O6I4CP4ADSVOT2B526P9T1IYF66VDV Just enter that string into the box and submit. You will be auto-approved within two minutes. If you wish to donate to increase the Halloween pot (thank you to those who have!) you may do so at https://www.paypal.me/mturkTj any amount put into there will be added to the pot on 10/31. I also accept cryptocurrency, though I'm having issues accessing that so if you HAVE sent me any crypto (or wish to), PM me and let me know (transaction ID would be helpful if you have it) so that I can figure out what to do with it and/or send you the wallet addresses. Happy Halloween everyone!
Has anyone's Pending bank withdrawl flipped to complete yet? I'm stunned it hasn't been resolved yet.
