LOX sent me this. So it's a bug in the system for sure because I have a 95% accuracy and that is passing on their scale... Hope it gets fixed.

Yes. you have an accuracy of 95% on our "golden samples". please keep up the good work. I am doing my best to fix this issue ASAP.

I love the ludicrous quals for a hit...you must be IT security pro, x years experience, yada yada yada, will pay you $6 for 45 mins...do they really think they'll be getting IT security pros for that price? 80% will be winging it, if not more

I would reckon there are probably a lot more IT security pros available to work that price than there was six months ago.

after showing my stats of only 3 rejections, I jinxed myself and immediately got 1 more lmao
I also got a rejection from Lox a little while ago. I guess we shouldn't have said anything! :wink: I sent a message and also got the same speel about the coding issue.

So I just completed a $7.50 HIT, and now I'm getting this "waiting for available socket" thing that makes it take about an hour to load anything on MTurk.

This entire thing is rigged against me.

well, he said the break was not horrible and probably won't need surgery. I got a short boot and an invitation to return next week for a follow-up x-ray
:zen:

also, driving with my left foot was not horrible (not totally safe, mind you. but not horrible :)

I changed my location when Amazon suspended my account like 4 years ago for address verification... so it was all on the phone where the person who finally understood what I was talking about (after 2 other attempts) agreed it was stupid that we can't change our own location completely. She had to manually update mine on the back end somewhere. I think it's a good idea to get that going so you don't get a surprise lock-out of your account like I did.
oh ok thanks, that's good to know. I was trying to remember if there were any major hits or batches that i'd get locked out of or vice versa by either state, though there's new stuff since I've been on anyway...I didn't realize this could happen, unless maybe it showed you in a totally different country?
