09/06 - Thrice Thursday!

"Logan" had a really good post about it on /r/mturk honestly. And it boils down to your last sentence, just do a shit ton of work so you stand out and eventually you'll probably not win the lottery but at least you'll have a fat stack of cash in your wallet.

I don't know anything about Rose CMU (or Mike Ellis) tbh so sorry can't answer the real questions but for TV at the moment there is no way to leave a review for something you haven't submitted directly. Like you mention, its kind of rare occurrence to be a problem to begin with and b/c of that I haven't really dedicated a lot of time to solving that particular issue yet

 

Yea the learning curve is rough on it, for me at least. I think it would be smoother if they had turkers find the houses and screenshots that match in one hit on its own. Then have some real estate pro or the pro turkers out there do the technical parcel stuff. Obviously adjust the pay for each type of hit but I could see that going smooth.

He's actually set me up with all of my girlfriends

One is the girlfriend of his coworker that he dislikes, but sensed I would get along with his eccentric gf, so he took me camping when they invited him and that worked out. Then he set me up with his coworker. And he also schemed with a coworker to set his shy wife and I up and they sent us to the farmers market together and now they can't keep us apart.

He also forced me to go to trivia night with him and I heavily resisted- now I go without him and play with his coworkers, he has dragged me into the fantasy football league today...clearly on purpose, he introduced me to another lady coworker via rock climbing and now we're moving nearby her and she's all excited and sends me dumplings and such to be friends, etc etc etc.

I'm almost totally incompetent at making my own new friends face to face and did not socialize for a long time out of social anxiety, but I have Matt for that! He did good

I take it you're one of the smart ones that isn't sharing?? lol

 

I wouldn't call myself smart, so much as a lucky stalker.

 

we don't take kindly to logic around here friend

 

Sharing is Caring

 

Thanks for the information. I did not do nearly as many of the dislikesbut enough of them to not want a pile of rejects. When a requester who normally communicates on the reg vanishes it makes me nervous.

And yes, that Ellis is the one. It was a difficult qual, that someone obviously has,lol. But I just started to wonder if the req just reposted a hit and completing it is useless. Which would be good information for others that come along so they don't waste their time. For all we know someone could post the actual work in a link and call it a "test", meanwhile workers are completing the actual work for free.....

 

Yeah, but if I ever admit to being helpful or nice, it will ruin my cold, hard Grinch reputation.

And I just can't have people thinking I might not be heinous.

 

As long as you know the address, the parcel number shouldn't be a problem. Even sites like Zillow and Redfin list the parcel number.

 

Did they put out a new type of hit? I usually find those in the same hit.

 

Took me about an hour but I just submitted my VRAPI qual test. BRB gonna go unmelt my brain

 

how to get kidnapped:

tell the forum that one of the airbnb parcels in the qual HIT is 12 houses away from me......btw that list has 122,000 parcels. good luck
