"Poster decides being well over $100 is a good enough day and goes to get drunk and touch himself"

 

Ehh, I actually did search both of you, and I don't see any new revelation that I wasn't already doing. I do like what you said about blacklisting and such if you're serious, and I've considered it, but I haven't been paying enough attention to know when that is warranted yet. Otherwise, my posts are already set to 50 posts per page and still that's almost 40 pages to go through to "maybe" find some hidden secret about a certain HIT. And while that was something I did a lot in the beginning, I learned it takes a lot of time to stay up on that stuff. And if all those settings were in the toolbox, I'd be playing around with them as well. But, I'm 100% sure I'd forget stuff, so I haven't touches those yet. But, in the end, a lot of people found them to be hard. If you didn't and you managed to get the whole batch, good for you. Make all the monies fam, I'm happy for you. But, that's no reason to throw shots at others who had a more difficult time.

 

I am able to confirm, eventually, after accepting 150, Pins will give you the no soup for you message.

So yeah, if you're locked out of 1 or 2 of the batches, keep going, eventually you will be told you've seen everything, oops'd or not

@Eisenpower - you were curious.

 

My opinion that doesn't matter at all is that just because it's been talked about already, doesn't mean we can't talk about it again if it's still relevant.

Sure some of you did fan fucking tastic on em. But I sure as fuck sucked at 'em. I also didn't read the thread because I was at work, but meh.

I'm locked out anyway though.

 

I think the advice about killing images, icons, and etc. was very good, actually. I'm forever trying to find ways to get useful information and kill non-work related chatter and I'm constantly being disappointed. That was the first good piece of advice on that I've seen in a while.

 

just got done and it is kind of brutal...easy work but long ....I hope the bonus picks are good to me

 

How do we turn off the gifs? I am finding that I end up looking at all of them and laughing instead of working, as well as I think it makes me have to clear my cache more often cause my computer keeps slowing down when I have a bunch of windows open and the forum on live update. I need more ram or something, but it is annoying as all get out to have to wait and wait for a page to load and then I miss the hit on mTurk site because I couldn't accept it fast enough and by the time my computer shows me the page, it's gone.

 

I thought they were devil pins and had no urge to do them while working my day job personally (low quality content messageing and cat pics). I tried and did about 10 before deciding meh. I like my pins quick and dirty. I'm glad some folks enjoyed them!

 

I honestly think that following the daily thread not closely, but using live update in sync with your other turking tools, can help you a lot with certain HITs. We may post a lot of gifs but there's also worthwhile discussion in here, especially in regards to sharing pandas and info about high-paying HITs--whether they're worth it or not, what they entail, how long they take, etc. I also get a lot of my info about batches from the daily thread, even from those silly low quality content messageers. There's useful info in this, and yes it would be wonderful to just focus on work, and people can do so if they wish. I personally enjoy following the daily thread.

For what it's worth, I found those pins to be a bit difficult and only managed to get three before I failed a golden.

 

I've honestly never thought about this before, but now I'm idly wondering if there's a "thumbs down" button on this forum, because some of the posts I've read recently deserve them but, then I just take a deep breath and move on.

 

I have a pretty long ignore list now for when I am working and I keep the thread on work mode ...plus I don't rely on the thread for work and I really just post hits and cats in between what I am working on. I then at night will click show ignored content to get my BP back up to a human level...yell a few times, eat then go to bed.

 

Same here. I think the only problem is it's hard to discern with 100% accuracy where you'll kill all non-work chatter. For me, I have too much anxiety about "What if that one person posts the hit of the year and I have them muted?" I have too much anxiety in general, as discussed earlier, but that thought would run rampant in my mind lol

 

There used to be a thumbs down but it really wasn't productively used.

 

IDK I thought it worked well during adddaaaaammmmmmms turking while trucking tirades.
