07/07 - Fully Friday!

thanks for the warning! Saved me a return! (even though I'll never cap in a day lol)

 

Yeah, it was around 60 minutes.

 

does returning hits hurt your rep? haha

 

no, but if you're going to go for a cap, it's 3800 accepted hits a day. They don't care if you return them. So if a miracle batch of 2 penny a9s dropped that had over 1.5 million hits in it, for example, and you had already accepted and returned 500 hits that day, you could only do 3300 of the a9s.

 

and technically, yes, there is a "return rate" stat that amazon tracks, and I THINK the requestor side allows you to use it as a qual, but I've never seen it in the wild (@ChrisTurk and @Kadauchi will have to back me up on this, they're they only ones I know that have requestor accounts as well)

 

Hey all! I'm taking it easy today as I have some stuff to catch up on. But did anyone else get this when they did space invaders hit? I don't remember reading this but it's entirely possible I just missed it.

I said yesterday my bonus was 3.70 after I finished the game...guess not?

 

The forums would implode and people who need numbers will still not do them.

 

oh really i didnt know that

 

Yeah, someone posted the same last night. Apparently the requester doesn't understand the meaning of "bonus." Sorry brah!

 

Dang that blows. Wonder if they weren't expecting people to do as well as they may've done lol.

 

Yeah, did that to me also yesterday. Got a $1.80 bonus instead of a $3.80 bonus.

 

Hmmm it's not a bad idea, but implementation would be hard. Kad's right about the requests and then having to add more filters.
If the things you don't qual for (whatever keeps popping up and faking you out) use the same GID, you can add that GID to your watchlist and then ignore it... but that'd get a bit messy for any more than one or two hits.
I'm also taking a break from working on OW. It's grown far beyond what i originally intended and i don't really have the patience to keep up with it anymore because 1250 lines of code hurts my brain (i really don't know how Kad can bust out scripts the way he does...i think he might actually be bender sent back in time ). Of course if something breaks it's basic functionality i'll do my best to get a quick fix up, but other than that i don't have any plans to be doing another update anytime soon :\

 

Yeah, it's super lame.
