    It is the best tool to identify the good and bad requesters in Mturk. Mturk is the mixed market place of good and bad requesters. OK I will tell what I mean by good and bad reqesters.

    :cool:Good Requesters: Who will pay for your quality works and if they are satisfied will give more and more HITs to do for you and too they will put some scores to value your work and will screen you from doing bad quality works. You will get good payments from them and if you are lucky then will get some good bonus from them too. Also note that they can reject your task if you not followed their instructions carefully while doing the HITs.

    :mad:Bad Requesters : They will steal your work and will reject your tasks without any reason and may or may not tell some bad comments that is not related to your HIT works.

    How to install the Turkopticon

    Go here to Install the Turkopticon Tool that I tell in my signature.

    For installing that you will need to Register at Turkopticon site.
    Turkopticon is the tool by which the Turkers in Mturk will share their experience with some good and bad Requesters. So by that experience they will rate the reliability of the requesters so we can go through them in the HIT we were viewing like the one below after that

    To Install Turkopticon for Firefox users --> Click here and for Chrome Users --> Click here

    How Turkopticon Works as what the site says here below

    Ok.. for doubts ask here... I will clear that.. :)

    ok now see my signature for my wishes :)

    Many newbies don't know about great use of TukOpticon (TO). So me thought to post one about that for all newbies. :)

    Good to hear that you liked it. :)

    I seriously love the Tukopticon tool! It saves me so much. I never do a HIT without checking it first. If a requester has mixed reviews, I read them to see if it is something I'm willing to do or if I should pass on it. It also helps me avoid so many problems! :)

    Ok fine. Yes, I know that there are many chrome lovers so me posted this with Chrome details too. :) I am using Firefox and I use only chrome when the HIT demands for that.

    Thanks a lot Riaz Bro...

    I have come across some worst scam requester and because of them my scoring has come down to 99% and I try to maintain it atleast now.

    Is there any way to complaint about the requester or to give our review in mturk?

    I have not aware of this tool turkopticon and will take a chance now. Thank You for your selfless help.

    Thanks so much for creating a chrome version of this script. So many of the scripts leave out Chrome and I hate to use another browser. I've just gotten so used to Chrome.

    With pleasure bro. I send many mails to Mturk team telling about the bad requesters, but no use. So the better way is to use my formula in my signature. :)

    Riyaz,

    You always help others. I have got back my scoring after using this tool.

    I only came to know about turk opticon through this forum year ago and turkers like you have helped me a lot and improve my scores using this tool and saved me to stay away from scam requesters.

    I had TO stop working a couple times on me. Go to your options menu in your browser and delete the extension and re-dl it. Only solution I have found.

    Hi all, my first post, I'm a newbie,, just wanted to say to Riaz,,,,, THANK YOU SO MUCH,, and your first 2 posts should really be a STICKY in the newbie section on this website,,

    I just joined Mechanical Turk 3 days ago, and being new to it all,, I kept wondering WHY the Requesters did not have any reviews to warn people about the bad ones or to encourage people to try out the good ones and I could not find any section on Mechanical Turk to even find this information so if it is actually somewhere on that website, I would love for someone to show me how to find it over there.

    Also, while I was on that site after joining,, I could not find any members forums section like this, I came across this site after googling over and over on their website being legit or looking for reviews, so if this forum section is as well over there linked somehow, would also love for someone to show me where that info is.

    I am very thankful for having found this site and gotten the link above from Riaz,,,,,
