01/25 - Fungi Friday!

Welp, he's doing something. I got a response.
"Dear all,

Yesterday, you submitted our HIT, entitled "3 minute survey", which we incorrectly rejected. I have issued $0.50 bonuses to all who were affected by this mistake (on top of your base payment for the HIT). If your rejection has not yet been reversed, it will be within the next few hours (I have reached out to MTurk and are waiting for them to confirm that all rejections have been reversed). The mistake was due to the coding error, and I have spoken with the research assistant responsible to ensure that it does not happen again.

Thank to all of you for reaching out to report the error -- it is your diligence that makes MTurk a valuable platform to us researchers. If you experience any further problems, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at this email.

Once again, you have my sincere apologies for this error!"

I'll post an update on the review after all is said and done.

 

I spent a while reading over the instructions on those package rating hits and all 8 that I did were rejected within 10 minutes.

 

I was able to open the instructions in the hit. I read both sets. The one in the description, and the "openable" one. Not TO

 

Okay returned.

 

K. new revolution?

 

Yeah I got that and the bonus about an hour ago. Just waiting for the reversal.

TV shouldn't cause any issues w/ Forker so long as you're on the most upgraded version (might wanna check for an upgrade)

If you hit F12 it should show some kind of error in the console if there's a problem.

Also dumb question but: you're logged into MTurk right?

Lots of rejections going out these past couple days. I wonder if the newer requesters got information about us all being bots

 

"no accurate results provided"
hmm don't call me arrogant but I'm pretty sure I got at least 1 of 50 right.

 

Response from the IRB regarding Terence. We did it guys!!!!!!


Dear Troy,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I am working to resolve the issue and rectify the situation.
I just spoke this morning with Terence, the lead investigator, and he has assured me that he will reverse the rejection today. I will be in touch as soon as I hear back from him as far as when today he will make the reversal.
If you haven’t yet, please send me your MTurk ID # so that he can process the reversal.
Please accept my apologies on behalf of the IRB for the time and distress this situation has caused you.

Sincerely,
Belen Villarreal
Acting IRB Convenor
Earlham College
