I've been panda-ing Pins since the switch. Off the worker PC site. Same as before, you need to start them quickly before there's no more work left and you need to return it.

 

Hmm, trying to write a newbie 101 to TV:

Thank you for considering leaving a review of a HIT in order to share w/ the TH/TV community.

We're a little different from TO, the motto here is "it is better to have less data than bad data" so please consider the following before contributing:

* Don't leave reviews when you're hungry, angry, tired, or annoyed. Especially over a rejection. We all need to vent from time to time, no worries, but TV isn't the place for that. Stop by the daily and give everyone a heads up if you need to vent. Reviews should be strictly cordial, matter-of-fact as much as possible.
- Do not use profanity
- Do not use inflammatory/hateful speech, including accusing people of "scamming" - the instances where a Requester is accused of scamming over unfortunately poor documentation from Amazon or simple misunderstanding/miscommunications are far higher than the rate of actual "scams"
- Do not bring the social atmosphere of the forum into your reviews too much, consider how a stranger would read & understand your message!

* Don't manipulate ratings that don't make sense.
- Leave communication unrated if you haven't had to contact the Requester at all
- If you rate the pay sentiment far away from the suggested guidelines give a reason in the comments so folks can understand why, its super helpful!

* Don't enter times for qual hits / demographics / screeners
- We all know unpaid quals / screeners are annoying, but they're unfortunately a necessary part of the ecosystem. Studies don't work without the correct target demographic, batches get poor data quality without tightly controlled quals, and these things are largely necessary because of the overall ecosystem (Requesters, Workers, & Amazon) so its unfair and non-sensical to punish only one party for them. And, more importantly, it tends to hide good work/Requesters unfairly. So we tend to give Requesters a pass on these things since they'e become a necessary, ingrained part of the ecosystem. The alternative to a 10-second demographics survey is a Requester paying Amazon $1 or more for "premium" quals and that comes out of Worker's pockets.

* Do adjust times for accuracy
- If you leave your desk for a break during a survey, adjust the time! Don't just write it into the comments because this wont be included in the Requester's aggregate data and can hurt their research/profile on the platform.
- Double check your time/hourly, the script isn't perfect! If you can't recall the time accurately, just don't submit a review for that HIT please.


@NBadger help me slim this down?

Anyone see obvious mistakes, things you disagree with? I'd rather start off tighter on new submissions than end up with 1,000 reviews that need to be altered/deleted/dropped/etc. I'm personally not worried about putting people off from submitting content, tbh the "angry crowd" especially can stay on TO for all I care

 

Don't bother panda-ing pins unless you know it's a batch. Just have the auto-accept next hit checked and work as many as you can that way. It will only be one or two anyways.

 

With so many different ones what GID are you using?

 

Eh, even I'm guilty of this one lol.

 

My problem is I cannot even catch one. I used to easily catch them but recently it seems I would have better luck catching a leprechaun lol.

 

maybe not big of a batch is dropping so others get to them faster

 

- Do not bring the social atmosphere of the forum into your reviews too much, consider how a stranger would read & understand your message!

@ChrisTurk guilty of this yesterday, but i edited XD. come on i was making fun of racy

 

How do I add to PANDA crazy when I don't catch the HIT? Has that been fixed yet

 

LIES. The worst part is that it encourages others to do it, and not everyone is as adept at the well timed social hilarity.

Plus if they are it totally fucks up the ratings system since everyone instantly uses the 'good reivew' button in place of the LOL

 

The only one that drops consistently: 3W7EAH4XMSG0WLVT2J744P9X4PGK19

As mentioned by @EssArrBee, Panda-ing them isn't necessarily the best option, but I do it from time to time because I have notifications from PC. That way I don't have to keep an eye on OW when I'm doing a different batch. Once I see the notification I start it. **This is when I'm not keeping an eye on all my OW findings**
