05/06 - Turkerhub Masters Sunday

Should I take the new test then? I was waiting to hear back about the last test, maybe that email was kindly telling me I failed?

 

Yes I am! I wrote to them about an hr ago telling francesca that the survey ends after the email. Francesca wrote back and told me i would receive the amazon gift card this evening So i replied again telling him the steps and what was going wrong. Have not heard back since.

 

I got that one last night. Did the new one this morning. Got my fail email not long after.

Edit to add:

 

Same here so I would write her too. Thanks !

 

They mostly have issues with reporting the sentences since we have a different standard for acceptable sentence(that can pass the validation) vs good sentences(that they should write to get bonus).

 

I'm still short of the 5k hits to even try :*(

 

I saw those, I never do well with the search the interwebs for info HITs

Grind it out, you got this.

Supposed to be a reply to saying you don't have the 5K

 

Yes that is the fail email and you are free to retake the test as long as it is available to you. Sorry that I completely forgot to explicitly say it in the earlier email.

Very True, Could do the Penny Rain Dance

 

Yes. The sentences in the older one is more representative of the real task, but they are too ambiguous upon close scrutiny for the purpose of the test .

 

The logo/text part seems unclear to me, even on the new one.

 

Nobody deserves that. Those are extremely underpaid.

 

MAH PENNIES.

I looked at them. Whole mess of clicking for a penny. Crazy.

 

Hit Finder stopped working after I accidentally pressed "refresh" earlier.

I even reset all the settings back to defaults and deleted both of my lists, yet it won't show any HITs, not even the garbage ones. :V

 

@Kadauchi

I assume that you are talking about Hit finder in MTS right? Also firefox or chrome?

 

Right, the one in MTS. It's in Chrome. Guess I could always try using it on Firefox since this version mysteriously stopped working.

 

The chrome version is likely more stable unless something has changed Try making a new profile in chrome and installing MTS in that.
