uhhhhh the depression is setting in; I can't do so many of my previous HITs with this ****ty 91%... ugh cutting....
I had someone ask what I'm going to be doing over the summer. Told them I'm doing writing work. Technically true in some cases.
Best Scripts for Newbies: To begin using scripts, you need to first download an extension onto your browser in order to have them run properly. For chrome users, use tampermonkey, and for firefox users, use greasemonkey. Turkopticon This script is absolutely invaluable. It shows you ratings given to requesters by other workers. This will definitely help you know which to avoid and which to work on. MTurk HIT DataBase (Chrome, Firefox) For this script, you can turn on auto update *toggle is on HITS* or you can manually update on your dashboard by selecting "Update Database". This will record the hits you do, the requesters who posted them, the individual HIT ID, and your total earned by each individual requester. It also shows these nifty little boxes beneath the requester name in the HIT description: Requester, Title, Note, Block example image 1 showing match requester ID, no title: top, no match on ID or title: bottom. [*]example image 2 showing match for both requester ID and title. Color Coded Search I'll admit, it took me a little bit to warm up to this script. But I absolutely love it now. It incorporates the TO rating into the HIT box itself with an easy to understand color coding. You can also tick the boxes at the top of the HIT search to remove low rated HITs. Auto-Approval time and Save Auto-approval time Both of these scripts show you how long until a HIT goes to automatic approval. Pretty nifty when you're looking for a good batch, but feel uncomfortable about rejections (since you're much less likely to be rejected if the requester only has 8 or whatever hours to approve your work by). Worst Case Scenario Calculator This will show you how many HITs you can do before reaching your "worst case scenario", which you will be able to view on your dashboard along with your other stats. I think they're automatically set at 99% and 95% but you can change those by clicking the worst case projected percentage. Today's Projected Earnings Records the number of hits you did that day and gives you a pretty little display on your dashboard of your projected earnings, lest you get rejections. ID Copy/Paste Displays your worker ID on mturk, qualtrics, and surveymonkey. MTurk Export Provides you with an easy to copy, pretty standard here, way to share hits that you find with the forum. Just press the little button that has a vb to the right of the HIT title, ctrl-c, paste to forum. Discover Fake Availabilities Script checks the HIT to see if there are any available, or if it's just leading you on. example image ... I think that's all. I'll edit and add more as I think of them
With the small number of hits you have you won't have to do very many to get your % up. Don't get discouraged.
This is what I tend to say too. That I do a lot of writing. It's not a lie but it's not ALL I do of course.
I just mark it PG or PG13 depending on the case. I treat it as the same as live action as the only way they talk about humans specifically in the detailed instructions is "scantily clad humans" which makes me think a fedora wearing neckbeard wrote the directions in the first place.
