    YES YES YES!!! Maggie Xiong approved all my hits from yesterday. I took a HUGE gamble because she had no TO, simple/3 second "does this describe the image?" I could have seriously screwed the pooch on this one, because I was at about 700 complete, then took gamble, and did 480 hits for them!!! All approved!! WOO HOO, put me over 1100 hits!

    Now, on another note, I only did like 4 surveys over the weekend, and got a "warning" email from amazon, more or less saying-"you've been slacking off, and we will terminate you if you don't participate more". So, obviously I will dedicate more time to turking, anyone else ever get an email like that? ((Newbie, only turked about 25 days so far))

    That is odd. I have only been going for a 2 and a half months. I only turk a few days a week and even took a week off last week for work travel. Never got any emails.

    I'm still going on it. But you have to watch a mandatory video that is 12 mins long, so yes I expect it will end up being 20 mins total.

    I've never heard of anything like that before. I didn't Turk at all for over 2 and a half years and never got an email.

    I am doing the Liat Amram hits now and I did some yesterday. I haven't seen any Liat Amram hits for a while but I remember it taking at least a week to pay.

    Nope, And I would like to see a screenshot of the one that you got. Could be phishing for information or could be legit.

    Kind of vague. Your "performance" suggests that maybe you got soft banned from more than a couple requesters.

    You should follow up with them for the details...

    Have you gotten a lot of jobs rejected? To me "performance" may be referring to the quality of work and not quantity.

    Ok done now. It took me 17 mins, but if you get the full bonus you earn a total of $3 so it's worth it.

    This HIT took me 15 minutes 26 seconds, and I only got one bonus question right. There was just so much information presented so dryly in the video, but still a great HIT.

    hmmm, have you been blocked by any requesters? That's mostly what it sounds like to me.
