I have been working on MTurk for just over a month now and really enjoy it. But I have a few questions; 1. Why do some HITs claim "5," but when I click there are no available HITs? 2. Product RnR gives extremely vague instructions (if there are too many that do not load, skip hit). I contacted asking how many is "too many" and they did not respond. I figured 3 was the limit, but I was wrong and my approval rating dropped down to just over 97% - at 1 point, it went to 96% but worked my back to nearly 98% before attempting these HITs again. Do I have any course of action? 3. How do you know if you have been blocked from a HIT or have black marks? I have come to really enjoy this work. My wife and I use the money to pay down out student loan debt without having to dig into our pocket. I want to ensure I do accurate and good work so I can continue, but get nervous. TIA Anthony
Also, can somebody please tell me how to edit my profile on this forum / delete account? I want to remain a member, but I have this thing about using my real name and information on open forums. I can change FB accounts if that would work.
1. When you saw the hit there were five. But within no time all accepted by some other workers. So you were not able to get one. 2. No. There will not. But You should have more than 90%. And remember, for most of the hits the approval rate is set to above 97% 3. If you are blocked by a requester you will get a mail with the Subject 'Account Warning' from Mturk. If you got three blacks Mturk will suspend your account.
1. When you noticed the hit there were five. But within no time all accepted by other workers. So you are not able to get one. 2. No. there will not. But make sure that your approval rate is above 95%. Also for most of the high paying hits the qualification is set to 97%. 3. When you are blocked by a requester you will get a mail with the subject 'ACCOUNT WARNING' from Mturk. If it reaches three, Mturk will suspend your account. Hope you will be satisfied with these. If you want any thing more talk to me in facebook.
OK - did that. Thank you very much Nadiya. I set up this FB for further use and sent you a friend request.
