    Is there any way to get rid of capitchas? Like how you can get rid of them on facebook or something? I am counting and I have to put in one every 15 hits. Did they do this to me because I did something wrong or are they just trying to make me shoot myself?

    I was never a fan of CF and now that these scam surveys have been popping up I've blocked them

    First Insight Inc - if it hasn't been mentioned. It's called "hot for Holidays" and it is kind of long for 20 minute limit. Time ran out on me. I was having too much fun and not paying close attention. So be careful. I think it is more for younger folks used to texting and quick with their fingers. But it does pay 75 cents. And it's a game and is fun. Just be careful.

    Can someone tell me what the 'tags' are supposed to look like in the NetMSi -Select images from a piece of adult content HIT?

    I'm accepting the HIT but I feel like i'm missing something. There's no tags or anything I can click on.

    There's a group of them at the "bottom of the barrel" that are broken and do not work properly. Instead of them removing them all together or fixing them, they just keep moving them over every day and adding new ones. When the new ones that work run out and the broken ones are all that is left there is nothing you can do until they upload more new ones.

    I don't really like those, I find them tedious, since you have to open multiple windows to do the searches, manually type in the search term (as opposed to highlighting in in the window and then searching from the menu or copy/paste), and toggle back and forth between windows, copy paste etc. And a lot of times the URL for the top result is truncated on google, so you have to go to the actual website to get the URL.

    I'm not trying to get my numbers up per se. I've been turking for about 2 years on and off. I'm over 5000 and have 99.1% approval. I like to do ones that are reading based (I can sight read/read fast) and that are all contained in one window, but that also pay well. Years ago I used to do ones where you identify wikipedia spam/abuse, and I could do hundreds of them in an hour accurately/well, and they were 10c ea.
    Mostly now I just do surveys unless there are good quick batches.

    Did you return any? They count those too (i think). If not, then they must be running out.

    edit: well nvm that was dumb. i doubt you returned 7. yea they must be running out

    No, I didn't. As soon as I submitted the hit this is what I got (still shows there are about 11 available):

    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.

    yea i got the same message after I submitted 5. I returned like 2 i think though that's why I assumed they count those too. They're running out so that is probably why you only was able to do 1. I made sure to add them to my turk alert list so i'll know when they put this larger batch up.

    Thanks, might be why then.
    I have a Turk alert list set up too, but never received an alert from anything, so that isn't working for me.
