02/13 - Waggin' Tail Wednesday!

I am considering putting together a conglomerate of information and testimonies showing the erroneous nature of the geolocation ban implementation. I want to send this information to Turk Prime and all requestors that utilize this so-called all-knowing bot / farmer blocker using a broken and poorly conceived algorithm and show them the damage they do to the integrity of the platform all in the name of data quality and requestor convenience. I do not know if this is my own individual war but I know others have been affected unjustly and I know that it affects the platform.

​

Pros:
The definition of passive is acting without response. This survey is the definition of passive for the majority of it. It's 80% hands off. It's not a ball handler if you will. It's more of a catch and shoot survey. You have to pay attention, but it's definitely not as strenuous as a lot of other surveys out there.

Cons:

Qualifications: Exc: [-791596127-128625] DoesNotExist ; Total approved HITs >= 100; HIT approval rate (%) >= 95; Location In US;

With the frustration I (and most trytaskers) are going through with this new "test" batch, this was much needed.

This a very late reply to @Kan Du, but the transfer to the other bank account did not go through at all. I just got a fail message via email a few days later.

@ChrisTurk

This came across my book of faces and I thought of you

Spoiler: Baby shart

 

Finally forcing myself to work.

"Caption: Presentation of an oreck is shown. the man"

What...what is that? I'm going to skip this one as...I have no clue what the initial caption even means.

 

Just fill a milk jug with water and wrap the handle in duct tape.

 

@chris @ThisPoorGuy (I think you help with the platform and its workings?)
