    What sucks for me is I have 2035 pending and if they would hurry up and pay out I would be over 5K. I'm forever refreshing and emailing everyone asking them how much longer it will be LOL.

    UNC Lab HITs are linked to Jaime Arguello. He is a professor there. http://ils.unc.edu/~jarguell/
    On a side note, got 50 in to meet my $25 minimum goal for the day.

    I've been lurking for a little while, thanks for all the leads and tips so far everyone! I just got over 5000 from doing a lot of Oscar and other things I'm not too thrilled about. I did do quite a few of these:

    It only let me do 1, then it said I couldn't do anymore but that wasn't necessarily because of performance. Lame.

    Sorry, no more HITs are available.
    This is not necessarily a reflection of your performance, but is due to a number of factors related to the research we are conducting.

    NOTE: The Mechanical Turk will allow you to accept additional HITs from our group but our system will not show you additional tasks, so you would have to abandon or return any additional HITs you accept. Thus, please do not accept any additional HITs from this group.


    **I didn't do any. Not a single one. Said it as soon as I accepted the first one. WTF?

    They must know you're a zombie. o_O (Seriously though, your avatar makes me giggle every time I see it.)

    Ditto - only the last several times they were up they stopped me at like 10 hits or so. Such a bummer!

    I had the same issue yesterday. There seems to be a universal cutoff, and you missed it today.

    They cut everyone off at the same time. It is not a matter of who you are, it is a matter of getting on them fast enough.

    Write a limerick/poem! (7 minute task)


    Requester: Carnegie Mellon Social Computing Group

    Reward: $0.70 per HIT

    Qualifications Required: HIT approval rate (%) is greater than 95, Location is US


    This is a task to write a 5-line poem (limerick).

    You are now in a waiting room, waiting for 1 other worker to join. When workers are ready, a popup box will appear and a sound will play. (After 10 minutes, you will be given a 'free' 10c task, and you may try this task again.)

    You must dismiss the alert and click the start task button within 20 seconds. Please be prompt, other Turkers are relying on you.

    You may complete other HITs while you wait for this task to alert you. (You must keep this window open in the background.)

    This happened to me last night (before I heard about the Universal cut off). I e-mailed the requester and he told me something was wrong, and he took my block off. Not sure how I'd even have a block since it was the first time I attempted doing any, but worked for me today.
