    That is interesting. I wonder if they have inside knowledge.

    I think you have to have at least one rejection to show you're a true and committed turker. jk. :p


    I've done ~52,000 HITs and have been at it just under 3 years. Oh, and received the golden ticket email today.

    Ive got 2 rejections from when i started turking then quit about 5 years ago lol.

    Technically i would be first in line considering how long ago i made my account on mturk if i hit 100k with no extra rejects >.> 10k isnt good enough i suppose.

    I saw the million hit post on reddit too. I was happy for that guy and I don't even know him.

    I received Masters 2 years ago with around 9000 hits and 20ish rejects. 3 months mostly inactive (maybe two or three surveys a week).

    I was shocked. And then decided to make money.

    There just doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason. Just ask Twirdman!

    Thank you, sweet Flora! I'm so excited about no more captchas. Need some Endors to post!

    It's true. Over 600k hits and only 49 rejects before getting masters and I'm not even the worse off. I'm not sure if anyone has broke the 2 million no masters barrier but it is entirely possible.

    WOOHOO!!! Just got masters!

    Congratulations! You have qualified as a Master on Mechanical Turk. This achievement reflects your demonstrated accuracy in completing HITs. Please note you must maintain high HIT accuracy or risk losing this qualification.

    Mechanical Turk Masters enjoy these special benefits:
    • Access to HITs that require a Masters qualification.
    • No more CAPTCHAs! That's right; we've removed the CAPTCHA for Masters on ALL of the HITs you complete.

    Kudos on earning the Masters distinction!

    Sincerely,
    The Mechanical Turk Team

    That's great! Not having captchas is the best part. Now you only have to log in every 12 hours for Mturk. :D

    I remember when I first got Masters, I couldn't turk that day. Too excited. I couldn't focus.

    Mixed feelings on Masters Day. The day they give out Masters is a happy day as well as sad day for those that didn't get it.

    True. That's why I went to check on Twird. I would've told Pink not to mention it. That would've been so wrong. Lazy, blind Mouse turker getting it and not him.

    Thats awesome, I was just curious if they may still be sending emails or not. I'm glad they are still giving them out!
