I wasn't one of the people who worked on these hits and got the email

Interesting, Welp there goes that theory, I'm trying to do my own research and nail down what requester could have mass reported their own workers for using bots.

Hey I just wanna pop in and say I might have a clue why some people are getting the warning message in their emails from Mturk, I think its related to the recent A9 data validation batch, since its run by amazon they probably have ways to see where people click on these and I know a lot of people use scripts to click the bubbles in these to make em faster. Those of you who got the message did you recently do a ton of A9 data validation HIT's?

I didn't work on those HITs and I got the warning email.

Speaking to several people that got the email, there's not a single hit / batch / requester in common.

It's either gotta be an account-level thing, or a straight up mistake.

Knowing Amazon it's probably a really dumb metric that doesn't make any sense like total HITs submitted daily within eight hours over the three week period between october 1 and october 21 2017.

$38 would be a better day than I've had in months. At least I had carbonara for dinner. Take that, hunger!

I predicted this happening

258 / set goal

 

[ducky]

I haven't done anything from any of the Amazon requesters since probably barcodes, and they stopped posting like a year and a half ago.

can you not talk about them, our breakup still hurts

 

[cb456]

"hey biff, whats a good number we can use to max out hits"?
...
"lets just make something obvious like 3800"

Easily remedied.

Oh I'm probably going on a similar route...spaghetti squash, spaghetti noodles, fresh mushrooms, herby pecan spread, tomato sauce...I think that should hopefully help my hunger.

 

[ducky]

Easily remedied.

I checked to see if this was real

 

[Blakkat]

There is nothing to see here

 

[thismegan]

I wish I had done this:

I'm looking through twitter for a new bot panic, but it doesn't seem to have ever gone away. It's the same bot panic.

I'll do it for a dollar.

Easily remedied.

Okay, now we need an "ignore unless it's a super juicy HIT" button.

Did Vicky die?

I still laugh at some of the Reverend Kane stuff from Poltergeist II if I see a bit of it on some channel. What a strange and creepy performance: "Let. Me. In." and "You're gonna die in there - all of you. You are gonna DIIIIIIEEEEE."
