03/25 - Sinister Saturday

I just read the post. You realize that most people won't think of that unless they have poked around the requester side of things for shits and giggles ... right?

Good post

 

Hey @Kadauchi big ups on that push bullet integration in HF which I have only just tonight gotten around to setting up. It's awesome. Just curious though, is the way its pushing a message to my phone considered one of the 100 texts you get a month on a free account or some kind of internal app message?

 

Just finished this and it is rather long but all easy stuffs....I took a Pins break in the middle so can't say exact but likely around 30 minutes

 

Oh and @ChrisTurk if you didn't know... you can add ?context=X (x = some number)

https://www.reddit.com/r/mturk/comments/61ic3t/prevent_workers_from_accepting_multiple_hits_from/dfesd60/?context=99

For example will give you the full context of the post. (I often use 99 when I don't feel like counting how many posts are actually in the context)

 

Kansas.....no......

 

You get like 400 or something, I don't remember off the top of my head, but I've never exceeded the limit.

 

Oh I thought it said 100. Either way it would be worth paying for I just wasn't sure since it shows up under people instead of sms. I've gotten a decent amount tonight because I had the group ID for those pins that keep coming back in it. I'd like to smack myself for waiting so long to set it up and letting @ChrisTurk steal all my vrapis lol.

I have Oregon in the finals so this is great

I picked this up but already did it before. Anyone want to start their pandaham before I release?

 

I still wouldn't unless you actually HIT that limit.

Doesn't give info about part 2. Very fast though.

 

Honestly, this requester should just start rejecting work and putting in the comments that it was the wrong code for the wrong job. People will either stop doing the hits or do them right. Problem solved.

I feel for requesters. I get pissed when I see requesters drop pay, but when you hear that they have to deal with shit like this, how can you blame them. I wonder what percent of work is total garbage.

 

There are other ways to prevent it as well. Just look at the way Endor does it... no doing multiple Z's or Will's or anything else posted from their server. It's a reason to reject but that's no excuse for lowering pay.

I thought my partner cared about charity but they boned me in Part 1.

 

The way Endor does it is.. not very good tbh. I'm not saying I have a better solution, but holding up Endor as a good execution case is uh, not so hot for reasons that I'm not super comfortable expressing in public but I'm sure folks like @jessers will back me up on lol.

 

Oh I don't claim to know how they do it, but maybe something similar if it's bad coding? I don't really have much of an opinion bad work is bad work and it's just something you have to deal with if you don't have the capacity to check all of the work that's incoming. I know it's not very realistic but thats why they get to review the work before they approve it. It's the requesters responsibility to weed out bad workers.

 

Oh yay, my partner wasn't a dick!
