08/27 - Peachy Tuesday

Since MTurk is being strange lately, I have a new side hustle. Which makes me glad I found you all here today.

Are you guys, by any chance, interested in auto repair coverage? Maybe you want to say no to expensive repair bills? Perhaps I can get you 15% off on your new plan? I also sell Wegovy for your dog.

any1 else getting an error on the Zafin Labs batch?

 

Am getting an error on another batch and when I try to accept HITs.

"Sorry, there was a problem with the requested page"

And cannot accept HITs from the accept and work button on the actual site just get the error like the batch is gone.

 

Did Mturk go down for anyone else or just me? It won't even let me open the page anymore.

This page isn’t working
worker.mturk.com is currently unable to handle this request.

HTTP ERROR 503

 

damn. likke 3 requesters put up work and all of mturk couldn't handle it.

 

I'm receiving INTERNAL ERROR messages. There must be a problem with Mturk's system.

 

Intern must have tripped over the single LAN cable the Mturk rack still had connected to the internet.

 

Hope that's all it is.

Here to freak out with everyone else. It feels better when shared.

 

Hopefully these are not related all of the people here experiencing it at the same time is a sign they are separate events(knocks on desk).

 

Maybe this is a good time to go outside and touch grass.

 

Mine's working again, just to let everyone know. I guess it was a hiccup? The world isn't over.

 

can view the dashboard fine but when i try to accept a hit i get the error: "Sorry, there was a problem with the requested page"

 

I was someone who was in suspension limbo and now with the current issues, I can access my transfer history now instead of it telling me my payments account was suspended, just cant accept HITS now like everyone else. maybe they're power-cycling the one piece of crap dell they use for a server.

 

Sorry, there was a problem with the requested page
This was unexpected and we are looking into it. Feel free to contact us if this problem persists for you. In the meantime let’s go home and try again.

Every time I try to accept an HIT this is the message I get.

 

I'm getting the error page too, when trying to accept a hit. It just came up today.

 

Alright fine, I'll stop DDOS'ing MTurk if this post gets 20 LOLs.

I'll start DDOS'ing it even harder if it gets 20 hearts.

 

Not getting any LOLs OR hearts, and now an FBI van just pulled up outside. Wtf is this shit.
