02/14 - Gimme Chocolate Wednesday!

Funnily enough most of it is from one requester and it's from 4 weeks ago. "Andreas Vesalius"

Not too bothered though, still reigning in my goals just fine at 98%. I'm about 120 hits away from 99% again I think. I don't know how to math though, so don't quote me on that

Just got 41st rejection today, over a damn penny hit. Yay. I'm excited!

 

Did he reject all those messed up HITs? I did like 3 then sent an email. No rejections though.

 

failed to correctly rate all known bad queries. Never responded to my emails so I just gave up.

 

Hail, Bezos!

 

In case you guys don't want to wait for the email to arrive this is what it will say.

"Congratulations! You have qualified as a Master on Mechanical Turk. This achievement reflects your demonstrated accuracy in completing HITs. Please note you must maintain high HIT accuracy or risk losing this qualification.

Mechanical Turk Masters enjoy these special benefits:
• Access to HITs that require a Masters qualification.
• No more CAPTCHAs! That's right; we've removed the CAPTCHA for Masters on ALL of the HITs you complete.

Kudos on earning the Masters distinction!

Sincerely,
The Mechanical Turk Team"

Unless they have changed the wording since I got it on 5/22/17

 

Shit that sucks. Have you tried contacting any figure-heads in academic departments where he may be? I don't know the HITs, so dunno if they were academic or not

 

If it was over 4 weeks ago it is almost too late to get it fixed by now as well.

 

Bummer. I'm pretty sure those are linked with Percy Liang... who has a reputation about rejections, but fortunately I've never had any problems. If so I'm pretty sure it's academic in nature. Some AI stuff, probably funded by MIT or something like that.

 

FWIW It's dead as fuck at midnight on the east coast on mturk even with masters.

 

Actually I think I'm confusing Percy with someone else about rejections... I just double-checked on TV and TO and it seems like nobody reported any, so I was probably wrong, which makes sense about my experiences too. I don't want to spread any false information

 

Does anyone know of a .42 hit? It is valentines day ...
Earnings: $69.27

 

Nah no salt bro that is only 7 years quicker and 1.4 mil hits less and 500 more rejections than what I had going when I finally got it

 

Do 42 of these...jk

Percy def rejects from time to time. I got 5 in one day once, and had 90+ bucks approved in the same time span.

He has some rejects today from going too fast on some of the hits. It was automatic.

So, def happens.

young lady needed more curve on that stick

 

Although Percy (umbrella requester for several projects) sometimes rejects, his students are usually somewhat responsive and reverse mistake rejections. I just got one reversed an hour or two ago. They are NLP researchers from Stanford.
