Hi all. I've been working on the Turk since the end of last August. I didn't know about the forum so learned some of the ins and outs the hard way. I finally have things set pretty good, check the Turk several times a day for things I want to work on and have recently had several of my fave requestors start qualifying workers and putting me in automatically without having to test. I like doing a little of everything...though I'm best at researching, verifying, mama-henning (answering questions etc) and data entry. I don't like robots and I don't understand all the discussions about strings. The only thing I would love to have is something where I could block requestors from the list that I just don't want to see their work for whatever reason I may have. If anyone knows of a tool that could help me streamline the HITs that show to me I would greatly appreciate the information. For the most part Mturk has been a very enjoyable experience....I've paid for all of Christmas (with 17 family members to purchase for) and have a really good start on my fund for some spring home improvement projects. I'm hoping that through joining the forum that I might learn some tips and tricks to make things a little easier (but not with cheat programs!!!). The one thing I wish we had is a way to completely block a requestor. Hey, they can block us if they don't like our work or whatever. Why can't we block a requestor if they are bad? Anyway, hello to everyone. If I run across any news in Mturk that I feel peeps here will benefit from I will definitely come and post the info. Have a great day!!! Huntress (kayewm)
