I'm quoting your post purely so I can have a place to leap off of without quoting anyone this is actually directed at since I tend to type "you" in everything & I know you will forgive me for that faux-pau, thanks A-Rod.

Someone asked me about this the other day, and as much as I really hate to ruin the amusement I get watching half of y'all pinch up your panties & spin them up the wrong way through your backsides over it here is my official position:

The idea that K-Stay is actually chasing requesters away is hilariously absurd unless his messages to them are the complete polar opposite of his posts here. Go upload a few busted HITs on MTurk and then parse the messages you get and then compare them to his typical sunny-esque disposition. It's legitimately not a problem, and frankly having someone send a message who hasn't purposefully injected themselves with rabies to conjure up the most psychotic bile filled rant is probably more helpful than hurtful in 93/100 cases.

So anyway feel free to continue QQ'ing about this but as someone who finds the occasional polite worker inquiry the ray of sun in a peepee filled sky on the rare instance I have to deal with direct MTurk messages there is like a 0.0001% chance the "secretary of MTurk" thing is nearly as bad as folks have clamored it up to be.

Now please, carry on


ps there is a mute/ignore button

 

The tech team is trying to sort out what cookie/browser configuration caused this issue - 640 people made it through without an issue, but I'm sorry you were one that got stuck. Did you reach out to customer service tamturkresearch at gmail to get an alternative link to make sure you still get paid?

 

We had a side-bar. We're not a mob.

 

Soooooooooooooo like hangry?

That has to be the cutest way I have eveer seen that put. lmfaoooooo. You're such a dad.

 

I'm p sure I made it so users can ignore me actually
