    Good to see A9 rejections couldn't keep you down either. Penny batches, no captchas, living the life :emoji_grin:

    I grew tired of having to hope for someone to post a script for work, so I started doing small things like defaulting radio selections and stuff like that. I never focus on, I want to learn this first, then that, then another thing. I focus on learning what I need at the time, then its committed to memory and I don't have to relearn it, only improve on how to integrate it into the scope of everything else. I learn shit extremely fast, so I dunno how well that method will work for others.

    To all those who didn't get masters, think of it this way, you could have got a rejection today, which would be worse :D

    Oh, I remember that happening. That was very cruel. I never understood why those who got that email didn't just get the regular Masters the next time around, it's not like those types of tasks suddenly disappeared because they ditched the photo masters.

    Rejections are only bad if you are a unicorn or if it was a high value hit.

    At 4 cents per sentence, I'd rather eat @Randomacts brother's attempt at making @ChrisTurk 's "food".

    I was doing the opposite, with like everything. I just saw something that suggested that as well, and now I'm doing that. It's pretty solid. Learn and build and learn and build.

    Dear everyone, I had been playing video games for almost 4 hours after my turking day, and just when I was turning the pc off, I decided to check my email and received this:

    Congratulations! You have qualified as a Master on Mechanical Turk. This achievement reflects your demonstrated accuracy in completing HITs. Please note you must maintain high HIT accuracy or risk losing this qualification.

    Mechanical Turk Masters enjoy these special benefits:
    • Access to HITs that require a Masters qualification.
    • No more CAPTCHAs! That's right; we've removed the CAPTCHA for Masters on ALL of the HITs you complete.

    Kudos on earning the Masters distinction!

    Sincerely,
    The Mechanical Turk Team

    I just can´t believe it. Thanks everyone for this past year of help, but now its time to take the forum filter of those master hits!!

    New Masters, you should take a little bit of your extra earnings and donate to the forum that helped you on your journey.

    It works for me, but again, I'm fairly creative and can type rather quickly now that my arm has healed, so I'll do it and make it productive. Thank you for your input though.
