Pros: Requester always pays at least fairly. Demo-specific HITs always pay more. 10-cent bonus on every 10th HIT you do for them.
Cons: If your demographics aren't autofilled on the second page, this may not be worth the time it takes.

Yes...

But it's only because I love Beyonce and Major Lazer.

And apparently I haven't gotten over Resident Evil at all.

 

CT is here, hiding.

Do not talk about the movement, he does not know it yet.

 

Quick, change your avatar!

 

What's the movement??

 

*Attempts to cover up*

It's uh....the um...this:

 

I don't usually talk about my movements, so you don't have to tell me that.

 

I love you guys.

 

Taunting me in multiple places now, huh?

 

Hi all! Can someone answer a question for me if you have time please. Are hits automatically paid if a certain amount of time passes (30 days) if the requester hasn't approved the hit yet? I was under the impression that all hits where paid once submitted eventually. This is from the Amazon Requester site:
Approval and Payment
Workers submit responses for assignments. If you approve their work, Mechanical Turk transfers the HIT reward from your Mechanical Turk account to their Amazon Payments accounts. Workers don't get paid if you reject their work.

When you post a batch of HITs, you agree to approve or reject work by a specified deadline. If that deadline passes, Mechanical Turk approves the assignments and pays the Workers who submitted work.

So does anyone know what the "deadline" might be? I have a Sept. 19th still "pending" and from what I see on TO the requester is reject happy so I don't want to rock that boat for $1....

Thanks for any info

I mean, we just saved a lot to avoid needing much of a mortgage in the first place. We don't have kids yet, so it's never been an issue to live in a lackluster house or fully sketchy place we could spruce up. Matt literally lived in his hangar for a time and I rented a bedroom in a sketchy area. The cost of living is just still irking me because we've both put a lot into saving up and we kinda hit the point in our lives where we were done living in a shitty place to save money. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I'll never be super pleased about it. I'll be happier if he gets security clearance and we buy a house, that's for sure!

 

Requesters can set up an "Auto Approval" time when they create the HIT. Each requester is different. The maximum amount is 30 days, but can be anywhere from 30 days to 1 minute. A requester can also approve HITs manually before the auto-approval date.

30 days is the max though.

 

Today has been really slow. I've done surveys all day except for a few pins and a MAD Lab.

 

same here

 

you are not welcome to the movement!

 

Me too. Except I woke up late and didn't get a MAD Lab.
