The qual just turned purple for me on PC. I have no idea if I have this "magic qual" or not, but I'm guessing not because of the struggle to find any work for myself.Problem is i'm qual'd out from doing the qual.

I tried emailing them about it and they just gave very generic answers.
My only guess is i accepted and accidentally returned it.
Again, for internet searchability the CR Research Group #1 and CR Research Group #2 qualifications aka CloudResearch qualification aka TurkPrime is unfair to workers and regular people like me. In my opinion it is a scam to get requesters to pay into their system. It's time for Amazon and Mturk to address the issue. In other words I think Cloud Research scams requesters and takes advantage of Amazon, Mturk and Mturk workers. Cloud Research's CEOs Leib Litman and Jonathan Robinson should be held accountable.
I'm not sure about that, I have consistently made $50 to $60 a day and couple days of $100. This pay period is I think the most I have ever made since starting two years ago.MTurk is basically dead for those of us without CR#1. I only made $19 yesterdaysitting at my computer from 5am - 7pm.
What have you been working on if you don't mind me asking? 75-80% of my daily PE came from surveys and there's definitely been a decline in those.
Batch work mainly with Noah Turk and some university surveys (many ongoing ones) I usually have a few different batchworks I can rely on when things look bleak
They gave me generic answers, too. I was "handled" very politely. I think the situation is probably this: MTurk pays StudyLab to "run" the Qualification (they used to pay SurveyComet to do it). MTurk probably thinks StudyLab has some competent algorithm or something by which they are smartly gathering data that they then smartly analyze and come to an informed decision about the quality of a Turker's work. But, of course, that isn't happening. StudyLab grants the CR1, CR2, and mysterious b99599ff Qualifications based on one, maybe two or three, hits (all under $1), and those Qualifications may bar a worker, like me, from what seems like about 60, maybe more, percent of the available work on MTurk. Now, if I was designated as a poor worker because of some intelligent, criteria-gathering mechanism, I would honestly stand down; but my livelihood has been crippled because StudyLab sloppily and lazily carries out the job that Mturk hired them to do. Again, I wonder if Mturk is aware of the present caliber of BS associated with StudyLab. Maybe someone should tell them. But I'm not going to. I can't afford to risk the remaining 40% of work I CAN do.Problem is i'm qual'd out from doing the qual.

As far as I know, nobody knows how it works. The great "Bot Scare" emphasized and taken advantage of by Cloud Research is perpetual. Nowadays an algorithm which decides your future is typical. They might as well create robots to answer their own surveys. I'm glad to know there are others in the same boat as me. Thanks

If it makes y'all feel any better, it really isn't that much better for people that do have that qual. The platform itself is slowly dying. It is a shell of what it used to be. Good requesters are few and far between. Everyone is fighting over the same five or six halfway decent HITs that show up, so you are lucky to grab two or three an hour. Batches are scarce. Unless you have decent closed quals or get lucky, it's hard to make anything worth crowing about on a regular basis anymore. There are always a few people that can make $80-150 a day on MTurk or more, and will tell you you just aren't looking in the right places or using the right tools, etc, so take my words with a grain of salt. But in my seven plus years of doing this, it is as slow as I have seen it.
If they don't fix the garage before the snow comes......will it have to stay that way until spring?Our lawnmower is still in the giant hole of our collapsed garage floor (that's been 2 months and insurance company is still fighting us on, btw). We hired someone the last 2 times to mow for us and there was a wasp nest in the ground and despite spraying and treating and calling a pro, those buggers are still there and now the lawn mower guys won't come back (understandable). Like you, I want one more mow before the snow comes but I refuse to buy a mower and not have a place to store it with the whole garage and workshop being unstable. I think I might just try to borrow one from a neighbour. I'll bake em some cookies and fill the tank (or battery).
I'm just not quite ready for end of the season cleanup yet
BTW for demographics and ratings because it is relevant. CA, Los Angeles and for the record I am responsible for about 3 of those 48 rejections the rest are provided by scammers. I am copying/pasting from the site so format is weird. Approved 19,270 Approval Rate 99.75% Rejected 48 Rejection Rate 0.25%
