No one besides mturk has any info that can be considered accurate and they don't share.

 

No, I did the qual from the hit.

 

look up the requester under Quals. UDiscoverIt

 

how would I go about finding out when a requester post a qual hit?

 

those left undone will come around in the next hr

I passed the test, and got the qual, but now I am studying their website sample elephant calls. Being a great elephant call identifier is a dream I have had for a long long time.

 

I was just wondering if someone from Mturk said they were denying people based on a surplus of workers or if someone made that up.

 

I believe that it is just assumed like how we assume that masters is done being handed out because it hasn't been for over a year now.

 

From my limited experience Amazon doesn't really tell us anything about what's happening with the mturk platform.

 

What little we know is from a few researchers who included tenure (how long respondents had been using MTurk) in their surveys. This is a topic of the studies I posted about in posts #15, 19, and 20 here: http://www.mturkgrind.com/threads/demographics-of-mechanical-turk.26341/

#15:

Time Using System:
Just started: 13%
<1 month: 23%
1-6 months: 34%
6-12 months: 15%
1-2 years: 13%
2+ years: 3%​

#19:
MTurk Tenure (calculated by me from the researcher's Excel file):

Code:

	             India   US    Overall
	(blank)       0.3%   0.6%    0.5%
	 0-3 months  55.6%  39.1%   46.0%
	 3-6 months  19.1%  16.7%   17.7%
	6-12 months  14.7%  19.0%   17.2%
	 1-2 years    8.2%  18.4%   14.1%
	 2-4 years    2.1%   6.2%    4.5%

#20:
Calculated by me from the researcher's Excel file (same file as post #19), but this time just for the top 10% most active turkers (submitting 500+ HITs per week... yes, that's all it took to be in the top 10%, most forum participants have no idea of the vast amount of turkers who barely turk even when not counting those who are entirely inactive):

MTurk Tenure for Workers Performing 500+ HITs per week
0-3 months: 29, 29.9%
3-6 months: 21, 21.6%
6-12 months: 14, 14.4%
1-2 years: 23, 23.7%
2-4 years: 10, 10.3%​

Likely about 90% of all MTurk worker accounts ever registered are entirely inactive. (Making that 'top 10%' only 1% of all worker accounts.)

 

That got really dark really quick....

 

All the time I have been on mTurk and it never occurred to me to look up a qual like that... I feel like a moran...lol

 

That's pretty interesting. I've been turking less than a year so I wasn't aware of this type of stuff. I've always been curious as to what stats are actually considered impressive, such as total $ earned, total HITs completed, number of rejections, etc. It seems that people manage to hit some criteria that Amazon workers take note of and contact them, or something? Like people get Christmas cards and get invited to provide feedback on their projects (worker.mturk).

The aura around this platform is really bizarre how it all works with virtually zero communication from Amazon. Not to mention the desperation and lies from the workers... It creates something unique, to say the least.

 

the idea just came to me recently tbh

 

I think elephants and mudhuts share the same server.

 

is there a way i could like set something to watch out for like ocmp5 qual hit , seems like they have a ton of different quals

 

Bye bye research tasks
