08/23 - Ten Thousand TurkerView Thursday

Awesome, thanks. I noticed if I queue up too many things at once it slows me way down. Heck it seems to slow me down even if I have only three things queued.

 

Okay, that's good, I had to look that one up. And now I have to share it with my wife, who is an English Lit major and has been begging me to get a pet hedgehog for literally two years now.

Her favorite Christmas present ever was the full 20 volume set of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Also, I used the word anachronism in a work email a few weeks ago because it was COMPLETELY appropriate and fitting and, screw it, I didn't care if the recipient had to look it up, I wanted to use it. This may explain a few things about some of my professional relationships.

 

I love your bow!

 

Your wife sounds awesome and that’s an amazing present. I would lose my mind. You rock!

I don't even care if someone wants to call me a tiny penis'd scum-sucker --- so long as they give me an actionable solution with their complaint: fire away.

As yet I have not heard a solution to the problem (or, frankly, what the problem actually even is) that doesn't come with far worse adverse effects to the service. And thus I continue on implementing the changes I have heard viable solutions for, including things that are indeed "anti" requester like giving history of name changes right on the profile page, which is today's project and which I'm 100% positive is going to get me at least one lawsuit threat or GDRP complaint.

 

No one's offering 'nerfarious' suggestions, whoever you are, and whyever you decided to respond.

Protip: If you are not paying for the product, you are the product.

Now, back to the issue:

I have proof I completed the HIT from both Amazon and via my own evidence, and Joshua Katz did not respond to my repeated attempts to contact.

Also, TV is useless in this case because I cannot submit a review.

 

THAT DID NOTHING

 

This isn't about you. It's about Katz.

Here is the problem: You cannot submit a review on TV.

Solution: Offer a way to submit a review on TV.

Now, back to Katz:

I submitted a HIT for the guy, with completion code and evidence from Amazon support, and the guy ghosted me.

As for the weakness and shortcoming in TV, you have your answer above if it so concerns you.

How do I miss all the drama? Oh yeah it's because I'm working. Seems like a lot of people need to find an excuse to not make money and they come on here and start things. Maybe less time needs to be spent complaining and more time working?

If you think this doesn't apply to TO I have some wonderful oceanfront property for sale in @lefty's backyard.

Would you like TV to be of use to you & have me forward you his IRB contact information so that you may leverage it at your whim to force a response to the issue?
