https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2BVM4F0OHOVR9WN0BITLD2HMK2B23F Bunch of tweets about Ugg boots, judge sentiment. 5 of them per hit, takes me 20 seconds each. Not bad at all for a Crowdflower.
I just posted about these in another thread and noticed you did too! I did 105, really good quick HITs and they have no requirements so even good for newbies or low raters
Yeah a few caught me because of that too, I think these should be like the music video ones with no quality control because it's so subjective
Same damn thing happened to me...UGH...it irks me to no end...why, why, why do I even attempt to do these dang CF hits...
If they know the answers already, why ask us? At first I thought is was majority rule. But I did a few others (not this particular one) within minutes of being posted and got the same kind of feedback. And I don't think they were "planted" kind of questions to catch the unattentive.
CF lets their clients set up their own QC questions, so it could be some 17 yo yahoo intern we're dealing with here. They think they're making us "work better" by picking ambiguous questions/answers for QC, but really, it just dings thoughtful workers as "bad."
They're trying to catch the scammers/spammers, but because the people setting up the Gold Standard questions are generally totally inexperienced, it fails miserably. I probably would have lasted longer if I WAS randomly clicking or rushing and not really comprehending what I was reading.
There's already a thread about this at the crowdflower forum, too: https://getsatisfaction.com/crowdflower/topics/uggs_unfair_test_questions
Woot! Welcome to the club. lol. $7 an hour at crowdflower. I should have known it was too good to be true. lol
Nope, wasn't just you...CF sucks...haha I was told certian tweets should have been negative...when clearly the person who tweeted was being sarcastic...and was told that it should have been positive when it was trying to market Uggs...UGH...I swear these people are out of their minds....
The problem is that CF lets their clients make their own QC Gold Standard questions. And by "the client" it probably usually means "an intern". Literally a teenager, most of the time, I'm thinking. This is a fundamentally stupid system. It boots the BEST workers out faster than it boots the crappy workers out.
