11/15 - Feel Good Friday!

Might be a case of them sending out the email early.
Happens a lot

Nope. Ongoing "spending" surveys by R Peetz. She posted them last night. Thanks, tho.

all broken for me

same here

You wouldn't know if you got a block unless you tried to work for someone and got the "need qualifications" message while knowing for a fact you had the qualifications.
They don't send emails out anymore like they used to.

Smith Oscar blocked me That's how I know. There was an issue with his HIT and instead of assisting me, he just cut me off.

I think my lack of the bot email should be a lesson to you all. All you need to avoid these kinds of things is to be really really bad at turking.

He did look a little tweaked

Sounds like he would be, by the way I've got two massive 85 foot Oaks trees right over my porch and yes they can throw out a massive amount of leaves, I get a fresh batch every morning in the fall. At least it seems to be the off year for the acorn drop, which I think only happens every two years, those are especially painful to get up off the porch and they are especially painful to step on in my bare feet.

Some comfort should be taken that it happened to multiple people. Little sketch because who knows how bad the algorithm really is but good also because there was no isolated incident it seems. I'm gonna keep turking the same way I always do.

Did you check general search through https://worker.mturk.com/ do the hits show up for you, maybe they are all gone, I have had that happen in all types of quals from time to time.

Choice Lab has been broken for me since last week. When they had the system issue (was it on the 4th?) it locked me up. Told me to submit HIT with some code with date and system issue, but I told them it timed out. I asked if they can close it out on their end. Never replied to my emails. Caught 4-12 and was unable to participate in any of them. Emailed every single time, no response. However, the one I did submit, I made a $9 bonus. Wish I caught them all. I actually enjoyed the HIT

Three massive oak trees So many leaves and acorns.

Nature's Legos

I hate those acorns. They drop so hard they bounce back up off the ground and peg me. I swear the squirrels are up there throwing them at the ground.

And then the ground cover of acorns, I can't even walk without rolling across the top of the acorns there are so many. When the wind blows they dump on the roof and sound like a hailstorm.

semi related spiteful squirrel story: this neighborhood kid was throwing rocks at a squirrel sitting in a tree. it ran out on a branch over his head and peed on him.

Just thought I'd share.

Welp.. T-minus 4 days till I leave my job. In other words, T-minus 4 days till I realize if I made a huge mistake

So they not only want me to message them "for the hit" to report the problem, but also will be manually checking my location all for 30 cents.

"For some reason we were still unable to verify your country location. We ask you to please assist us in getting this protocol correct. Please enter your MTurk worker ID below and contact the requester for this HIT to report the problem.

Once you click Next, you will be taken to the survey (and certifying that you are taking this survey from the U.S. and not using a VPS). We will be checking locations manually for those who reach this point and you will be contacted if this check identifies you as violating these requirements."

I've had this happen a few times and I never messaged them and they always approved anyway

Between the raccoons, the cats, the possums and those really strange snakes that put off an awful odor when you come near them, I do have to admit that the squirrels are the least irritating of all the lovely natural wildlife in my yard. Minus the cats of course, any animal that lays around all day and sleeps and only gets up to be served dinner, can never be called "wildlife".
