08/28 - Tranquility Tuesday!

to support this I can say, I have not been using my Amazon shopping account for years, I stopped using it before joining Mturk.

But I have 2 credit cards that are also linked to my Amazon Payment account which somehow I regularly use (Chase)

you have to pay for school taxes now? (it has been a while for me).

 

I would like to thank Matthew Mesner for posting on mturk today. Without his assistance I would have probably no money made today. <3

 

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

You've received a bonus from NU Social Media Lab for work related to 3G9UA71JVWVZUE797WI5GMNKJ497JE.
The value of your bonus is: $5.00 USD

The Requester included this note:
Thank you for participating in part two. A five dollar bonus to the original hit has been added in recognition of your continued participation.

Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

Then you should rarely be in touch with requesters. It's been suggested that messages sent are a part of your account and viewable by Amazon. If you can't be professional, then you shouldn't send it.

 

Time to start saving up for them!
Mine cost about 1200 every year and that doesn't count the damn county taxes....

 

True that!!!.

Was reading lots of things today and a few people got suspension letters for potentially using bots (and implied being fake accounts - thus being bots) but they are real people. One person has a masters.

But CT's comment about mturk CS not being able to see the regular account is probably accurate, though I can say I would email them a bazillion screenshots of my purchasing history along with how much money I spend every month to prove the fallacy of me being a bot who completes surveys, and the fallacy of me being willing to use bots to do that and risk my earning/spending loop I have going on with Amazon.

Also, dunno if this will help anyone else. I now leave all sorts of super sweet very detailed comments at the end of surveys that have comment fields pointing out something particular about the survey that a bot wouldn't point out. Always something nice, of course. (Except for that one survey with a 12 minute timer, I was nice in suggesting it be a little longer next time she posts...)

 

this explains why we have bots issue now

 

I did this for one today. I said good thing you cant see me, cause I smell bad and need a shower. bot wouldnt say that.

 

Neat, that's why I had asked.

 

Also, I know to not be an ass to requesters. I'm autistic but I'm functional! I've held normie jobs, I just fucking hate them.

Unless you've programmed your bot to send a variety of semi-believable messages as part of making it look more human.

 

you are forgetting the fact that "real people" are using the bots.

Sending them a video of playing a game does not mean that you are not using a cheat/bot during the game.

 

d a m n

 

Honestly, if you're not doing anything wrong, you shouldn't have to worry about sending requesters messages. Unless they actually reject your work for suspected botting.

 

I'm not I was offering to send them to info about people hating recaptcha/ I honestly am not bothered by this all too much. Hopefully it blows over soon.

 

Yes, it's the best badge everrrrrrr.
