    Happy Thursday everyone! Thankfully the hits ended yesterday (there was one left for like, 2 days x_x). Please note the song on the accept page gets loud after a few seconds, so adjust your headphones accordingly!

    Description: Will you get a trick or a treat?
    Time: 60 minutes
    Hits Available: 1
    Reward: $0.06
    Qualifications: Brony is 100; Cheater! has not been granted; DoubleDip has not been granted


    Qual info (and some other info) is reiterated in the spoiler. I REPEAT! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE QUAL, CLICK THE SPOILER BUTTON TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT!. If you already read the spoiler last time, this one's the same.

    Songs: Song 1 Song 2

    As a reminder, I've changed how the hits work a bit. It's been dragging on a lot (Monday's hit just finished yesterday), so I changed the hits to put out 125 hits at $0.06, instead of 150 at $0.05. Not a huge change, should work out to the same amount in the end, but this will get it done a little faster (as well as give you all an extra penny. Don't spend it all in one place!).

    Another reminder: I only put out hits Monday and Thursday. The hits may extend to other days, but those are the days that matter for quals. If you didn't win Monday and you see a hit Wednesday, you'll still be eligible on Thursday, because that's when the new batch goes out. Likewise, if you win on Thursday and see a hit on Sunday, you still won't be eligible Monday because that's the next batch. Hopefully that makes sense.

    Eligibility

    I decided to go with the same eligibility scheme. You can only win every other hit. Meaning that if you win, you will be ineligible to accept the next hit, but you will be able to accept the one after that. That's the best way to balance fairness with availability and number of hits.

    Structure

    I took some people's (unexpected) advice and dropped the pay in favor of having more hits available. There will be 150 hits at $0.05 each, for a total of $10.50 per hit, and $94.50 for the month excluding halloween. Halloween will be its own hit. I'd like to release 150 of those as well, with pay determined by how much I have left over and in the donation pot. Right now it's looking like it'll be around $0.17 each, though that may go up if additional people donate and/or if I get any more money to throw into it. For reference, $0.10/hit is $21, $0.25/hit is $52.50, and $0.50/hit is $105. Right now I have around $40, so if you want to increase the pot for everyone, look below for the URL.

    Frequency

    I'm going to be posting on Monday and Thursday, within the 12:00PM EST hour. People seemed to be the most active this time, and that was the two times I got most reported as "available" without complaints on my survey. This was the only "surprise" hit, hopefully it was still fun!

    reiterated information

    The qual can be requested at https://www.mturk.com/mturk/requestqualification?qualificationId=37O6I4CP4ADSVOT2B526P9T1IYF66V using the password 37O6I4CP4ADSVOT2B526P9T1IYF66VDV Just enter that string into the box and submit. You will be auto-approved within two minutes.

    If you wish to donate to increase the Halloween pot (thank you to those who have!) you may do so at https://www.paypal.me/mturkTj any amount put into there will be added to the pot on 10/31. I also accept cryptocurrency, though I'm having issues accessing that so if you HAVE sent me any crypto (or wish to), PM me and let me know (transaction ID would be helpful if you have it) so that I can figure out what to do with it and/or send you the wallet addresses.

    Happy Halloween everyone!

    I swear I saw it up. Now that I look in the logged HITs, it's not there. Weird. Gone quickly though.

    I see the original, but not the update were it was confirmed that scrapers and PandAs are okay.

    Anyone have any luck with these? Even with extreme cherry picking was only able to find two in ten minutes.

    Then what isn't ok?

    Didn't find many. I hate to put too many NA on a batch so I'm skipping those.

    No one knows yet exactly. Someone's going to talk to them and find out more details.

    Scrapers and pandas don't substitute for human intelligence or judgement to perform tasks.

    EDIT:

    There's more to it on a different page:

    I agree. I don't see that as an issue.

    But the ToS part that says:

    (3) do not disrupt or impair the operation of the website or the integrity of the marketplace (e.g., scripts and automation tools that call MTurk continuously and at high frequency aren't OK)

    That would include panda tools doesn't it?

    I would assume so but again at what rate does it begin to disrupt the website? We certainly wouldn't want to intentionally bring down MTurk by overloading it but we've all been using PandAs for a long time and one would think over time the system would be able to handle more and more traffic not less?

    Also it's nearly impossible to do some batches without running fierce PandAs thanks to them throttling the HITs. I'm not gonna sit and mannually keep trying to accept a HIT 10-15 times before it accepts and then do it and then repeat that process for 3 cents.
