06/09 - Stretching Sunday!

Are you sure?

 

Well shit if I do its news to me!

 

Now this is the type of quality dailog we need more of.

 

I'll take this any day over DA2.

 

Spoiler: nsfw

 

Anyone here gone to art school? Just wondering what admissions process is like.

 

I think you have to draw a picture of a turtle or something like that.

 

It is always sad when E-D has the best subs.

 

I have gotten 3 emails from Vicky now, is she just going to keep sending new versions. This version says she wants us to spend 15-20 seconds on each HIT not 5-6 seconds. Does that count the 1 minute waiting for her servers to process?

 

I kept taking runs at Leliana in Inquisition because of Origins. Even after I read up that she wasn't a romantic option, I was like, we'll see about that!

 

I didn't get that version.

I just got an email from Vicky as well. I don't have the qual as far as I know either... at least I didn't when I checked earlier just to make sure (came up purple).

 

Looks like she's just giving out the email to everyone who has the qual at all, and not just those with 90 or higher.

Dear Fellow Associate,

Recently we ran a batch for 'Which Product type is the most appropriate' and we did an analysis of individual crowd worker answers and we are not happy with the quality of the answers. We are finding far too many cases where the crowd worker has chosen an answer option that is ridiculously wrong. Following are some examples:

1. Product was Sausage & Hotdogs, image and description clearly showed that but crowd worker chose ‘Tofu’
2. Product was a wine color sweatshirt and hoodie, image and description clearly showed that (infact image showed a model wearing the sweatshirt ) but crowd worker chose ‘Wine’
3. Product was Automotive cleaning brush, image and description clearly showed that but crowd worker chose ‘Tire’
4. A frozen bag of chicken was labelled as Book .

Committing ridiculous errors such as above only proves that the crowd worker is not spending enough time on each question to review the product carefully. The sad part is we have had such errors from new members and also from members who have been with us for a long time.

Some of you are not spending enough time on each question (just spending 5-6 secs). We expect a minimum of 15-20 sec.

Incase when you are not sure what a product is , please choose N/A.
For e.g - if you see a yogurt drink none of the answer options say 'yogurt drink' please choose N/A. Please understand that yogurt drink is NOT EQUAL to yogurt. say yogurt.

To mitigate the above problem we are introducing a feature to randomly check worker’s answers against out golden set while a batch is running. If a worker repeatedly falls short of the quality that is expected, we have every right to remove such worker(s) without further notice.

So please mindfully work on the tasks. We value your hard work and we want to continue collaborating with you. Please understand that this is a general message that we are sending out to all workers who were engaged in our last task.

Thank you and happy working !

Administrator.

 

Yeah, this version's longer than the other 3 I got.

 

That version looks a bit targeted.

Might be a lie
