Thanks for not saying "good" I am taking the day off of turking. Going to Pittsburgh to source stuff to sell on Amazon. I make more money that way when I am in a mood like this usually.
I usually do pretty well there. Last trip up I found: Risk Onyx Edition Sealed - Sells for $159.99 Microsoft Office Home and Student - Sells for $125 And a bunch of items that sell for about $10 to $15 each. Spent about $50 I mostly deal in CDs and such. Ones that don't sell on amazon, I send into a service called Decluttr. They pay me to ship my games and CDs to them and they send me a check within 30 days.
Hi all, I posted a HIT yesterday ("Assign an industry sector...") with a "majority rules" approval which received a reasonable amount of heated feedback. I had not fully appreciated the impact this would have on worker's ratings so I've gone back and approved all of the assignments for this HIT. My plan for the next batch is to award a base level pay per assignment which is slightly lower and provide a bonus payment for each assignment answer that agrees with the majority - does this sound like a reasonable method? Cheers, Prash
Title: rate@REVQUAL Requester: REVQUAL [A2J0W1PXOIZIIY] (TO) TO Ratings: ☢☢☢☢☢ 5.00 Communicativity ☢☢☢☢☢ 3.00 Generosity ☢☢☢☢☢ 3.00 Fairness ☢☢☢☢☢ 3.00 Promptness Number of Reviews: 2 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: rate@REVQUAL is a project run by UCL and BAFTA that explores how video quality is perceived online. Participants are asked to watch two versions of the same short (~10secs) video clip, they are then asked to rate each video's quality between 0-100. By measuring lots of ratings for lots of different videos we aim to discover a 'ground truth' about what quality is acceptable for viewers of online media. Time: 24 hours Hits Available: 45 Reward: $0.20 Qualifications: None Takes about 30 seconds and is very easy. The TO is not for this HIT and there's only 2 reviews.
wtf is really going on this week been on an hour and only 3 bucks and some change.... turks suck eggs this week so far
Firstly, welcome to the forum! I really want to thank you for reversing the rejections. Those weigh very heavily on our accounts, and the reversal is very much appreciated. The new pay structure sounds very reasonable as well, as it still encourages good, thoughtful answers.
I would recommend a qualification batch. Grade based on if they're putting the answers you want, and give qualifications to those people to do your hits. Also, make it so workers are able to choose multiple options. It's highly possible for a website to be more than one category and it confuses the "majority" way of doing it when both answers are actually right. Thanks for reaching out to workers and handling the problem. We appreciate it.
I just want to remind everyone to make sure to adjust their TO review accordingly. It's a two-way street, ya dig?
I haven't been around the forum for a long time, and when I do stop in, what do I see? A GREAT REQUESTER! Thanks for reaching out. "Majority rules," as you've seen, just doesn't work. It's pretty much a veiled way for Amazon to make money. How? You pay however many times to find a majority, when really, you only need to pay once. It's like the default Masters option with the scare messages, insisting you'll compromise quality by choosing workers who don't hold that qualification - and Amazon charges a higher fee for Masters. Perhaps your qualifications were too low. Did you follow Amazon's horrible 95% approval rate? That's usually what does it. Most workers - those that care, anyway - stay in the 98% - 99% range. I'd be embarrassed to have a 95% approval rating. Anyway, good morning everyone!
Glad we have TO for cases like this where it helps both sides and ends up helping each other resolve an issue.
His wiktor batches have the same problem of missing topics although usually not that wide of scale and you can just submit those as don't know/no topic if you get them every once in a while, although not to that scale. also, these look really really good David Yarowsky
