Closed qual batch expires in 5 hours...going to take about 2.5 hours to complete. Sounds like I have time for some Judge Judy!

 

Weekly worker activity reports aren't unhelpful, how am I going to compare how big my PE is without them?

 

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

The following is a summary of activity for your Mechanical Turk account for the week ending Jan 12, 2019.

I basically did really badly on 2 days this week, but really well on 2 other days... so...

 

I have no idea how you would go and complain about getting a single email from mturk every week. I've never heard anyone say they're unhelpful basically ever. Where is mturk getting this feedback from?
