12/30 Tail Waggin' Thursday

Spoiler: long helpful post from Wednesday thread

Hi, first post here. Used to turk full time ~5 or 6 years ago, getting back into it now and have some questions to shake off the rust. Is there any way to keep watch on requesters much like one can watch specific HITs with panda crazy, like with their worker ID or something? Or do you just have to wait/watch to catch them to be able to add them to your panda watcher?

EDIT: Also, do they still send qualification email notifications every time? I've gone through a bunch and haven't gotten any emails (though I know I've been approved for a couple) so just checking

 

GOOD "MORNING" FOOORUM

How I'm about to fly into this totally new day!



Totally not about to go to sleep for the night... because sleep is for losers

 

Hello, I don't really have the most complete answer for you, but it can definitely be done. QBC does it. But I am not really sure if there are other, free scripts that also do. Someone else will hopefully come along with an answer for that, but it might take them a while as it is pretty late (or early, depending who you ask)

But WEELCOME TO THE FORUM!!

Easy question first...no, you will not always get an email when you get a qualification, although I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say 'I've gone through a bunch". Are you talking about Qualifeye here or something else?

As to the other question, yes you can watch for requesters. The way you go about this is going to depend on what tools (scrapers, finders) you're using to find work. I still use Mturk Suite which is one of the more basic tools available, there are much fancier, tricked out ones to choose from (some free, some paid). I've just stuck with Mturk Suite through the years because it's what I know and because it's always been more than adequate for me. Having said that I'm currently considering an upgrade, but that's neither here nor there. With Mturk Suite I just add a requester's name to my favorites list and there's a nice little alarm that chimes when that requester's name comes into play, then I can take it from there, but like I said, some of the other tools will jump into action and do much more than just give a notification. So yeah, just depends on what you're using.

Just realized your post mentions Panda Crazy. I'm sure someone will be along at some point today to give you a much better explanation.

Pros:
Opening the survey takes you to a separate link, you complete that one task and then you get a code. Was relatively painless.

Cons:
Seemed like it went on for awhile and I was going at a solid pace.

There has been absolutely nothing to do and I want to do these Alexa's but even with my 100,000k+ hits if I got a mass rejection for one thousand of them I'd be screwed.

Yes, you can easily add a Requester ID search in PandaCrazyMax, and it will automatically make a PANDA each time they post a HIT!

In PCM, click the "Add Job" button.


Input the Requester ID you want to track. In this case, it's AudioKite, with the ID A1ZEEGMU3YMZ6.
Fill in the Requester Name field so that you will remember who the RID Search is for.


Once you have the fields filled out, click the "Add new Panda Info"

It will look like this afterwards, with a Blue RID text:

You can go to "Details" to change specifics for the requester, like only accepting one hit of each ID, or only hits from them above $1 etc.
I also arranged the tiles alphabetically to easily reference which ones I had.

I put the RIDs for the requesters in the post yesterday; copy-pasting those is a good place to start! If you want to add more IDs, you can search TV and find names of requesters you like I There's a nifty copy option on their TV page to let you quickly import the requester ID.

from https://turkerview.com/requesters/A1ZEEGMU3YMZ6-audiokite



If you have any questions, or want to know how to do it in QBC, send me a message!

 

Many requesters don't send qual notifications. QBC (paid sub) has a great qual sorter, and you can quickly filter and find what quals you have, very convenient if you have 100s of pages of them. There are a couple other programs and addons that let you filter them as well.

Short of addons though, in the absence of requester's emailing you, the easiest way to check if you have the qual and to see your personal qual value, is to click the qual link again.

For example,
https://worker.mturk.com/qualifications/00000000000000000060

Even though I have already taken it, I can click again and see that my current score is "1"



If you click on the HIT you want a qual for, it will expand details, and we can see that my qual of 1 is good enough, so I get a green check.



Some requesters allow a retake of a qual, so when you're checking this way, don't accidentally retake one you already have a high score on!
