    To anyone who may still be waiting for those tattoo hits to pay out from last week, he just emailed me about them. I emailed him yesterday because I still have 1700 of 2000 pending and found it odd that 300 got approved right away and 1700 have been sitting for over a week. Apparently he's having some issues on his end and is working on fixing them:

    Hi Lori, quick update; I have been running into some technical difficulties with Mturk's API today (totally my fault, I am still learning). It is getting late and I'll keep working on it tomorrow and give you an update. I'm really sorry about this -- this caught me by surprise (I was sure I approved everything few days ago already).

    I really appreciate you notifying me of this!

    Happy long weekend

    I've seen the movies to the 2 questions I've gotten wrong, they say if the answer is possibly worded a little incorrectly, it doesn't matter, but I've been choosing the blatantly correct answers and it still shows as incorrect. Anyway, I'm paranoid about rejections so I'm glad they locked me out so I don't get tempted to do them.

    I always make the same mistake of seeing Crowdflower batch hits and jumping on them, I have yet to actually find good ones.

    :(

    Hey! New to turking (I posted my intro a couple weeks ago in that forum). I usually don't get to the message boards until late at night and have to wade through 30-40+ pages so I don't get the chance to comment on a lot.

    Anyway, how do you get the qual for Netmsi tagging HITs and other HITs by them. I need to get my numbers up and I requested the qual but haven't heard anything back. Thanks!

    all you have to do is request the qual and you should get it instantly. if not make sure you have atleast 500 approved HITs as well. Thats the other qual for netmsi
