    This is an important announcement about work from 11223344.

    We are finally out of our year long beta period and are going live in the next few weeks. This means a lot more work for all of us, and we are very excited. :) And to all those who have delivered us consistently great work, well, you should be excited too. Why!?! Because we are RAISING our pay for pricing HITs. Not just raising it, but almost doubling it!

    Electronics, Furniture and Soft Goods - now $0.25/HIT
    General Contents - now $0.20/HIT

    These prices represent an almost 100% increase. We know what we want - we want the best of the best (you guys!) and are willing to pay for the best. We want our work done first, fast, and above anything else, we want it done accurately. Accuracy is paramount to the longevity of our work here on mTurk. Like any business, if you want the good talent, you need to pay for it. Once acquired, you can work with them to make them even greater. We are now retaining our best, and hiring more like minded workers. Get the word out!

    In exchange, though, we will not be as tolerant of gross errors in judgment, or simply put: Bad HITs. As our results are live, and impact many people, we are reviewing HITs much more closely and expecting only the best quality work. "Best" means that well known brands absolutely must match - or at least you tried your best to match the brand. How do we know if you tried? Because when we review, and your brand does not match, we will try to find that brand and if we do find it quickly, then we will have to flag your work on this HIT. The retail price must be used and the model of the item you choose must be of a similar quality to the original. Your work should display a level of heightened common sense. Your selection must be similar upon first glance and not a far stretch from the original item.

    We are implementing a 2 occurrence warning system for major issues outlined above. Upon the third warning, we will remove your qual for 6 months.

    We are going to be posting an instructional video some time this week, hopefully tomorrow!

    Thank you,
    11223344

    Ever since I started on mturk last November I have read about how great your HITs for, but always seem to miss the chance to qualify for your batches. Since you may be looking for new workers, I would love to work with you. I have a good record on mturk and would really appreciate the chance to take any qualification test for your HITs. :)

    When will Qual opening happen again?
    A while ago, I asked for it IMMEDIATELY when you opened and got told my request "got buried".

    Then recently I missed the qual by being away.

    Many thanks for taking the extra time to do an instructional video- this will really help those of us that want to do your HITS but haven't done so for fear of doing them wrong.

    I don't peek in on this forum much anymore but I'm glad I did and spotted this. Your HITs are always fun and this is really great news! Thanks for keeping us all informed.
