Hey Maryann,
First off - Maryann was my favorite on Gilligan's Island.
Second - You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than catching a c-sat from clicking a link on the forum.
If you're not using scripts - you should take today as an opportunity to learn how to use them. Mturksuite is a great start. From within mturksuite you can find hitfinder which scrapes the mturk new HITs list at a consistent interval, so you can always see when new HITs are posted. Hit catcher - will allow you to add what are called "Pandas" - which is short for "Preview and Accept" - a sort of play on the way the old mturk links worked - this will help you catch HITs.

It'll take a bit of learning, but once you figure out how it works - it'll all make sense


-edit oh wait nevermind, I remember you talking about pandacrazy the other day. so you probably already have a good grasp on what to do. my bad

You've received a bonus from BF for work related to 3XDJY5RK5SLR02IGU7QN8X3C7V14UN.
The value of your bonus is: $5.50 USD

The Requester included this note:
Thank you for participating!

If anyone did that Waiting task from earlier this morning it's already being paid!

 

What is the appropriate amount of time to wait to ask when the bonus from a hit that was created specifically for you because the original hit had an error? Is 3 days too little?

 

Both @Amber Graham and I got this "Dear MTurk Worker, Unfortunately we are rejecting the Background Survey you submitted. Data quality checks indicate that you 1) provided illogical answers and/or 2) live outside the United States. We are sorry for the bad news. If you believe we have made a mistake, please let us know. Sincerely, The Work Week Group"

And well, unless Kentucky seceded overnight (which I guess is possible) I'm 99% this is the USA.

It's irksome, I disputed it, and I have enough buffer where it doesn't hurt other than the fact the schysters stole 5 bucks of time from me.

 

Well crap. Mine is still pending, but now I'm more worried because Maine is practically Canada already.

 

Mine approved without issue, FWIW....

 

Edit: Well, since some ppl got rejected, I'm withdrawing my recommendation until further notice. I'll let you know if mine gets approved or if I go to war.

 

Here is what I got in response:

"Thank you for asking us to reconsider your case. We want to treat our workers well.

Our quality checks are designed to weed out workers who do not live in the U.S. and those who did not provide good quality answers.
However, no system is perfect, and sometimes we reject workers who should be paid.

We will take a closer look at your survey and get back to you. "


I'm not sure what their system is, but I know it caught both me and Amber.
