    I just thought of something. It would be cool if there was a way to sort mturk hit results by highest turkopticon rating. It would make finding high rated requesters so much easier. Maybe someone could make a script that does that. I emailed Turkopticon about this as well. Just a thought!

    It's a good idea, but one that Turkopticon themselves should be the ones to implement. They may not like their server getting hammered with half a dozen/a dozen of requests, and that's just for one TO user for this new feature. (Multiply that by however many people would use the new feature and count for frequency of use, etc.)

    In short, it's possible, and a great idea. The TO guys may or may not have the server resources to handle the extra load, but they should ultimately be the ones the decide that.

    I'm glad you mentioned you already sent TO the idea. That would've been my next suggestion. :)

    Thanks for the support Phase. It came to me like a light bulb above my head, lol. Hopefully someday it will be a reality!

    Here's what Turkopticon told me about my comment..

    Thanks for your note.

    We've talked about doing this.

    It would be a big job, and honestly we have no plans to do it soon.
    But it's great to hear that other people are thinking along similar
    lines.

    Thanks again.

    Best,
