"Rudder's last blog update was on April 19th, 2011. On February 2, 2011, Rudder's hometown newspapers in Little Rock reported that Match.com had purchased OkCupid for $50 million in cash and though it was never confirmed, was widely suspected of beastiality on multiple occasions. He was also caught peeping in a middle school boy's locker room shower in Massachusetts completely naked and heavily intoxicated, but due to technicalities, all charges were dropped." BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
haha no. Most of the time, I just use politeness and try and offer advice scripting or improving their hits. Pays off sometimes!

Title: Find company contact information Requester: Readabl [A2YW2GCVA51U3S] (TO) Description: Given a photo and a name, find contact information Reward: $0.05 Qualifications: Total approved HITs is greater than 2500, HIT approval rate (%) is greater than 95, Location is US Link: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2PBKA0RYNJ92IFGBU62MNTUP25B384 Is anybody doing these? It's KILLING me because I really like Readabl as a requester and I'd like to do these, but they're like the impossible task; if one piece of information isn't missing, it's another. /grumble
Yeah, those are completely useless. Don't bother with them, work on the .01 if you want to up your numbers.
They (DataJam) also revised their comments on TO: Hello Everyone, I am the requester in question. For everyone who was upset about the rejections applied for the most recent Batch of "Classify Public Twitter Users' Profile Pics as Male or Female", thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. You all worked really hard on this HIT, and on further review it was obvious that the fault rested with the design of the HIT and not with your attempts to work it. Except for one or two responders we have identified as spammers, we are rolling back all the rejections associated with the HIT, and approving them and everything else that was pending. Also, our target pay rate for this HIT was several times higher than what many of you achieved. We will try our best in the future to make our HITs less confusing and more streamlined, so that you can move faster and get paid better. This was our first big mturk roll out; we're still learning how to make good HITs for you. (I can't figure out how to set the rating to "NO DATA", and agree its unfair that I rate myself, so I am marking myself 1 for everything. I will delete this review after this message has had a chance to circulate). Thank you and have a nice day
Thanks. Glad to have found my way here! Since reversals have become possible the one time I actually needed it the requester was evil so would not communicate or reverse. But yeah talking to requesters can be helpful most of the time. Early on reversals were not possible but one time when I was able to point out the rejects were in fact in error the requester bounsed me nicely and gave some dummy hits to help make up for it.
It's pretty amazing how much people will gentle up when you **** with their ability to get work done cheaply.
well...thanks to this HIT i experienced my first rejection...then lost interest in turkin' for the night...to be proceeded by checking my account and finding my perfect streak returned...with this putting me over 1000 HITs and $200. What a rollercoaster of a ride. Will ride again.
by the way, welcome to the forum! Looks like you aren't new to turkin' but I hope you enjoy your stay
These are easy but require a bunch of clicking Title: Version 2: Identify the exact number of people depicted in an image Requester: Corbis Holdings, Inc [A98XFNIQL1ASR] (TO) Description: Correctly identify the number of people in the image Reward: $0.02 Qualifications: HIT approval rate (%) is greater than 80 Link: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2YEAJIA0RYNJO5N5NER5GMKX2IZ16L [size=-2]Powered by non-amazonian script monkeys [/size]
also...i think everyone that participated in the datajam fiasco has one message for the requester: If you ever see this...
Mr. I-get-paid-too-much-for-this is mighty humble now, eh? Oh, and whatever happened to trying to get the work done "dirt cheap." He should fire himself.
First picture I get in that HIT is of a dead dog on a grill. Nevertheless, you guys post some great HITs here.
Oh, no. He was wrong, it was pointed out to him he was wrong, but he wouldn't admit he was wrong until he was in it knee deep. Why be gracious because he did what he should have done from the beginning? Seriously!
