07/03 - Swift Saturday

It seems there is a CR 3 now - which I don't even know what that means....

I'm guessing same time next year we will be on CR #35 and nobody will have seen a masters cert in a few years.

 

I think that as long as you don't have CR 2 you can still do all the CR 1's. That's my understanding. You don't necessarily need to qualify for the CR 1's, so you should be able to do hits "unless" you have a CR2 - if that makes sense?

 

not afaik, CR 1 has to be granted, CR 2 does not have to be granted. the entire thing, imo, it a big cluster fuck

 

and the CR's are actually granted by mturk itself? or maybe no one knows? either way thank you so much for this info, I'm so glad you are on top of this because I'm not lol.

 

Yeah I thought the same thing, but I think Turker said she could see some CR1 stuff and didn't remember doing a qual for it? Honestly I have no idea how it works. Just keep trying to be qualling.

 

I can see a survey that has these quals -

• Exc: [304916-304327] DoesNotExist
• Total approved HITs GreaterThanOrEqualTo 50,
• CR Research Group #2 DoesNotExist
• HIT approval rate (%) GreaterThanOrEqualTo 70,
• Location In US,

 

mmmmm I don't know if they are granted by mturk itself?

I think we may have all fallen down a side rabbit hole?

 

my spidey sense is that @Azazael has this figured out. seems like mturk itself would be issuing the CR quals. because otherwise why would so many surveys be affected? these surveys are from different requesters. or maybe the CR quals are being issued by a separate pass-through type of organization, like turk prime or something similar?

 

Okay - so I am guessing you have CR #1 and are good to go.

Apparently you don't want CR #2 - as it may mean you are not a careful worker?

And nobody knows what this new CR #3 dealio is, so we'll wait and see

 

I dunno, anything is possible? I just know that I never can figure out what mturk is doing on most days, lol, but am grateful for the work. Usually.

 

do you know, those surveys where they ask you questions within the hit window. those are turk prime surveys right? because I think I filled out those questions 1-5 times over a long time. but I read we should fill them out every time we do 1 of those hits. do you know anything about those? I'm really out of touch with that kind of thing post-coronavirus.

 

Ummmm - yeah I see the questions and don't usually fill them out.

Maybe someone else can comment?

 

I read if you fill those out every time, you get way more surveys you can do

 

Good to know. I used to do them, but haven't in awhile.

 

yes, CR = CloudResearch = TurkPrime's old name

thats basically what its supposed to mean but we know CR #2 is kinda a bullshit qual restriction, a few people have it here that ive hardly ever seen them talk about a rejection or post one, yet they have CR #2

thats part of the equation of what the CR qual is, part is the ending demo extras, part is the SurveyComet hit that pops up here and there with NEITHER CR qual attached to it. from what's been discussed, that is how you get CR #1 or #2

i filled them out for awhile until they started to not be relevant in any way (ie, are you pregnant?)

^ yes, they seem to be part of the demo screening for the [Inc - XXXXX] and the [Exc - XXXXX] quals you see on some hits. CloudResearch is now the middle man for AMT with assigning MANY quals to turkers for the requester clients they support

 

I got a settlement check from crowdflower for this or something like it. so did a lot of people. from something similar in 2009-ish. so maybe turk prime/cloud research is actually very much part of mturk? like it's a 'department' or something like that within the mturk organization? because if the 2 organizations are really separate, turk prime/cloud research seems like crowdflower (to me).

 

Oh jeez - I wasn't around then so don't know?

 

interesting, i never got that, ive been turking since 2007 if not earlier. and yeah CF i dont think is CR/TP
and about CR/TP being part of AMT, no, its not, thats been determined before. its just a third party

 

You have a cave . Is it well furbished?

Thank you for the music! I hope you have a good weekend
