Can't Find Good HITs? 12/20

I just don't understand why Rubin doesn't give a qualification to do his work, based on past performance - he's posted enough HITs to have an idea of who really does the work accurately and seriously. It seems to be the most logical solution, if he's trying to get rid of the inferior work that is being submitted. I don't think the Master's thing is going to solve any problems they are having with these things being done in the proper manner.

 

If Oscar Smith doesn't quit dropping my score down, I'm going to end him.

 

Are there really only 5,000 Masters on MTurk?

:brick:

 

I can't blame Rubin for wanting to do Masters, but he really should make his own qualification up. Some people were doing REALLY shitty work for him.

 

There are 20,770 Masters.

what a weird batch of hits this is:

William Paterson University of New Jersey does:

Exist and Seems Legitimate
Doesn't Exist and Seems Fake

 

Thanks. That gives me a tiny fraction of hope to someday attain it then. I didn't even think to look at the qualifications, lol.

 

The author of that blog/blog post says in the comments that "a lot of people on that site are scammers" referring to mturkforum and he avoids the forum. Does this forum have a bad rep? Or is it just in-fighting from TN people?

 

Rubin has some $1.00 HITs up

 

I apologize if this has already been posted - For $0.20 - less than 2 mins. -

Me too. Though I sent them an email last week asking why I still didn't have it and they didn't even bother responding.

 

Yay! Finally after 10 days, my first article from requester123 just approved for $25 I hope it can get the quals for the other ones!

 

the dollar rubins are up too

 

Anyone have an idea of how long it takes for those cell hits to approve? I only have ~300 waiting in my que...

 

It normally takes them a few days.

 

Interesting I only did one of those last time I saw them but it has not approved yet it's been a few days, not sure about doing them if it means risking getting blocked in the future from his HITs.

 

the sakai has me confused on them rubins. I am looking it up in google but don't really understand it. Anyone familiar with this?

 

I'm lost as well.
