01/27 - Serendipity Saturday

So what'd I miss last night? Sounds like it was pretty bad based on the banner @ChrisTurk posted this morning.

 

Tonight I start the part time retail job I got to secure all of the part time employment qual secret batches.

 

Here's the skinny version

, got temp banned for saying something disrespectful to another member, then he updated ~5 of his scripts to redirect anyone viewing turkerhub to a 404 page. Chaos, misery, and lols were had.

I literally spent 1.5 hours reading all over it, you can safely give it a pass I'd say

 

I must have gone to bed after the script changes. I was around when the mod edit of the comment happened. I saw that ban coming a MILE away.

 

You could say

,

Beat It.

Bless RA for posting about the Good Review on non HITs bug.

 

Wow! That is why I can't get on Turkerhub on my main computer. Ugh. So if I go figure out which of his scripts are his and I uninstall them will I be able to get back on the site?

Yup, here just a second I'll show you which ones they are

 

those top 5 are the culprits

 

Everyone may as well uninstall all of them.

If he's willing to do this, at what point is he just hoarding users so he can one day flip the switch and steal login credentials? Read your e-mails?

The man has zero bounds or limits on what he thinks is OK to do in life, as he has shown time and time again.

 

I mean, awww shucksssss

 

I have done enough Fritz/Hammers to know that intentionally causing denial of service to a people is using a technology that they might not be familiar with(through untrained knowledge), i don't know the legal term for it is, but it's fucked up and being an ash hole..
