08/17 - This 'n' That Thursday!

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

 

question, were you turking on multiple devices? I've been trading off between two computers and my mobile

I've been working from worker.....

 

I haven't had a captcha on worker in 3 months

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.

 

Pls god let this 6 dollars not be horrible.

 

Alright I'll just carry on and report if and when I get one

 

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.

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

I didn't catch this because of the TO being grey but you may want to avoid these..sadly the 1st 2 were easy to do (glad I stopped).

 

I won't be bested by you again.

 

Of course it's super easy, there's only one prediction: extremely high and overpriced.
