A Crowdflower HIT that doesn't suck?

I got that "some of your answers weren't what we expected" bit once too. I also clicked the unfair or incorrect button.

 

Hmm... I've never really thought about that. I have 100% accuracy (9/9) so far and I've just always assumed that the results would be kept within the given location parameters. I'm not sure-- I would say "Yes", but I suppose you should return the hit if you really don't want to risk a rejection.

Edit - Come to think of it, on 411, the one's in grey are generally not what you're looking for-- the one's sandwiched in white are usually the right ones (and it is usually always the first one). For YP, the correct business is usually at the top if it's there and same for DK.

I usually just make sure the address number matches across all 3 to be safe.

Anyways, I've reached my limit, thanks again chaos!

 

Ha ha I got one for Sta-Broke Investments. Wonder why it didn't show up?

 

Yep - found out for sure.

Even though a business may come up as the one listed for that city, it's got to be the exact same city name (even if it's just 2 miles away).

 

Same, right after 130 got 3-4 not what expected.
Time for a break.

 

Many thanks!! I managed 180 before they ran out. Made my day a good bit better =]

 

I take back what I said earlier. The next time I got one w/same name diff city, I check NO. It told me I was wrong with that also.
Oh well, it was still worth the time.

I'm no fan of CF anyway, but I've always kind of wondered if they just have this sadist sense of humor about them & get a kick out of aggravating/frustrating the workers. Notice, they pay us anyway....
heh I have a wild imagination but it wouldn't surprise me

 

I clicked No for anything not the city listed- As the directions say if it is not in this city then click No- I did and got 100% accuracy for almost 100 of them. Just how crowdflower is. That have an iffy checking system. I believe if many others say yes and you say no- Then you get told you are wrong for it. Whether you are or not unfortunately. I got lucky this time

 

Their instructions do say if it is in the same city to click yes.


So I only clicked yes if the business was in the city they listed- It didn't just say state, It said, City,state. So I thought that is what they wanted. Some of these tasks are a but unclear. I made an executive decision as to what I think they wanted,lol

You know Crowdflower- Even if you follow the directions it doesn't mean you will get accuracy :/ I did it that way and had no issues because it didn't say state only. But I know some did that and had issues.
Their quality control is whacky.

I would have preferred to click yes for business that were clearly the same- Same name- Just in another city- Like they had moved- But I clicked no for all of those and had no issues. It seemed that is what they wanted. I just got lucky I guess. I hope more of these come up- Easiest task they ever created.

 

They only let me do 15 of them, then they gave me the "you have done all the work..." blah blah blah, even though there were some left. Why did they do that, when I had a 100% accuracy reading?

 

Exactly- it's to be interpreted. I wish requesters would be crystal clear so there is no question as to what is wanted. Then there wouldn't be so many quality control issues either. Oi

 

I just saw your post oh so strange. They only let you do 15? They suck. I got in 161 before I got the cut. Such a weird requester.

 

I've never had these people tell me I got something wrong when it wasn't really right. Just one of the millions of reasons I hate to work for CF.

 

Yep. I have yet for them to be right when they told me I was wrong as well.

 

I hope that one comes back. All of mine were approved. I stopped yesterday after about 20 (I had done about 50 the day before) after reading your comments. I noticed that there were some tricky ones, but I guess I guessed correctly.
