    Hoo-flippin'-ray! I LOVE theme parks, water parks, and Disney so I was wicked excited to see those 300+ parks articles pop up. Banged out 5 Disney articles tonight. My problem was trying to restrain myself: I know enough Disney trivia to write a 300-word article on each ride. :D

    I did three Disney articles, I believe, they're fun! I was also able to do one about NC, which was fun. I'm debating doing more tonight, at $67 this is my best day yet.

    So much more fun than resumes or stocks or networking. :) Congrats on your best day!

    Or male sexual health issues, lol. Thanks!

    Do you guys know how long it takes to get off of the four at a time limit for callouts? I would have thought having 19 approved with no comments or critiques would be enough to get me out of callout probation :/

    I'm at 22 approved and I'm still limited to 4. It's too bad, they are my favorite thing to do. One of the easiest ways to make $2 on Turk right now...

    I wish I could have joined the Editor Hour, but it was going on during my FT job. I passed their Editor test (yay!) and have done a few so far, but would have loved to hear what they had to say. Even though I was 100% approved on the Title Moderation, I felt like I got lambasted in the comments when they finally approved. I like doing quality work and don't like having a ton of stuff pending that I don't have solid instructions or feedback on. Hopefully that new document posted above will sort out that piece at least.

    Has anyone ever had the problem of trying to do the recipie hits or the $2.00 hits that they currently have now and it says " Sorry, you are not eligible for this project?" Am I blocked or something?

    I now have that message for the callout hits. I got a couple of negative comments(which I personally think were BS) in my last group of callouts, I was wondering if that was enough to kick me out of them. Maybe I need to email crowdsource.

    Did anyone get the Advanced Writing qual or the Top Tier Research one? I only got the Top Tier Research one but I haven't found anyone else who got it.

    That's very cool, congrats. I did not even know about those two. What can you do with the TT Research qual?

    Thanks. I have only seen two kinds of articles pop up with TTR. One was a 500-word research article that paid $25 and the other was a 700-word article that paid $40. I didn't have time to do either one of them, but they seemed to have more keywords and more requirements besides the bigger word count.

    Anybody done a callout for an article you've written? I just accidentally managed to do so, as I was reading the article sounded familiar, then I realized that it was in fact one I had written.

    Also I had callouts written yesterday approved today, a far cry from having callouts from over a week ago not approve until yesterday :(

    Where are you all going to get these qualifications? The MTurk site itself? Thanks.

    They'll put up a qual test every so often.

    On a related note: I got the bonus last week! Won't get it this week because I started a new job, but hopefully I'll be able to hit it weekly after this week.

    I only took (and passed) the Top Tier Writing test.

    CrowdSource assigned Article Highlight Writer, Junior Writing, Title Creation, Top Tier Grading, and Top Tier Research to me without my having to do anything extra.

    I just noticed a bell icon opposite the Crowdsource name at the top of the callout hits (probably on other CS hits too). I'm afraid to "ring" it (click on it). Does anyone know what it is?

    Also, it seems like only 1000 callouts actually display -- is there any way to see them all? I keep thinking the ones at the bottom of the list are probably months old by now. (I don't think they're all in that side-bar listing either -- at a glance, the numbers don't seem to add up to 3,000).

    The bell is an "alert" to us. It looks like it's just about you, but I think everyone is getting the same alerts. I think it's a new way for them to talk to us.
