Slow as [redacted] Sunday 10/12

Hope that is a mistake on their end,that just ain't right.

 

That's the reason given. Then No answer given on about half of them. I guess I just clicked a radio button and hit ENTER to go nowhere? LOL. Ironically enough I came back after watching Boardwalk Empire, where the ending was someone getting loaded with bullets. Sort of met the same fate

 

It was pretty much impossible to fuck the task up so whatever their reasoning is completely unfounded and off base. Not to mention I don't know how much "exploration" they expected with a 60 second timer and a broken API map in their HIT.

 

Maybe you can get them all reversed or at least half reversed hopefully they respond to you

 

Even so. Fight that if it's worth fighting! And if they start off defamatory, hell with that. Turkers have no rights, I realize but screw that. You have always struck me as a Turker with scruples, I wish you luck!

 

They are playing games it seems. Had a 2 reviewed TO requester account that wasn't quite positive so they made up a new one it seems.

Came back with this AKWA2NABN7LHG

 

I am so unsurprised (given you were so resistant to using my patch with sleep timers to reduce blank submissions the first script I ever gave you, in favor of a higher wage but giving the requester unusable data)

 

anyone want to make the thread for tomorrow?

 

dude go fuck yourself, seriously. You are either autistic or just a complete asshole.

 

I don't mind fucking myself, just pointing out that you hate sleep timers even though it reduces blank submissions, so it illustrates the type of turker you are (wage > quality) so you're probably not telling the whole story

 

Silly question - what is a sleep timer?

 

You haven't a clue what you are talking about, yet again. You are not an expert on everyone's life nor their activities.

 

This isn't my battle, but I don't understand why the moderator attacks people on a regular basis.

 

Anyone who did the Roadtrippers know that you couldn't (or wouldn't) script it. It was literally a sentiment radio button HIT.

 

A line in AHK code that causes the script to pause for specified milliseconds (if your computer lags, submissions can be flawed with insufficient timers)

All I know is I gave you a script that I forgot to insert sleep timers in, I attempted to rectify the situation via gchat but you wouldn't respond until a million messages later, and I had to make you PROMISE me that you inserted the timers, because you obviously don't care if the quality of submissions increases only X%, you only care about optimizing your wage, even if it means scaring the requester off mturk

 

Again, you haven't a clue what you're talking about. To someone with an ego as massive as yours, it's nearly impossible to convince otherwise so rather than pick up this tedious argument, I'll let you continue to spew lies while the issue is taken care of.

 

If you are running scripts like that to start with I think it is cheating I see all you guys coming on here bragging about all your money but at what cost when you are talking about code and things like that at some point maybe you shouldnt be turking let the real turkers who don't use scripts get the hits we deserve it we put in real work and don't try to cheat the system lol

 

Scripting is fair game when used responsibly, it's the people who are using it as a means to squeeze as many submissions into a timeframe as possible with absolute disregard to quality that drives pay down and open batches to quals (the latter is actually a good side effect, but the former happens way more often)

 

scripting is not cheating the system if you still do the work involved.

RNR example - ticking everything not adult but still checking each one to see if it is correct or not.

However scripting shouldn't be used for every hit, but it is not 100% cheating the system.

 

I can acknowledge that but if people are submitting 3,600 hits a day like TurkorTreat no offense against him but that isn't normal they should be blocked pulling in hundreds of dollars a day on mturk is cheating there is no way you are giving quality work to these requesters at that rate just no way lol I think $50 a day is good that would be doing good that's $1,500 a month more than enough to live off lol
