    Have you gotten a captcha since the MTurk problems earlier? Maybe they had to disable them for a bit?

    I've noticed that too, but it's been almost a week for me on the worker side. Finally got a worker-side captcha today and all my dreams crashed and burned.

    I'm still confused on why they didn't do what they were supposed to do forever ago and lengthen the time between captchas after a certain HIT approved count since the purpose of instituting them was to make sure you weren't a bot.

    Today's Projected Earnings: $69.64 + Bonuses: $1.30 = $70.94

    Wasted an hour our so this morning trying to streamline some scripts...not really a waste in the long run I guess.

    Because the people who work on the mturk team are too busy playing beer pong to actually do anything to improve the site.
