    Hi. I attempted to do one of your HITs, and the submit button was not working. The HIT cannot be submitted. That may be why no one has finished these HITs yet.

    Hi summerstars,
    Actually 2 (outof 4) HITs have been completed by now, and I didnt receive any email that my HITs were not working from anyone else. My HITs use javascript for form validation. Are you sure javascript is not off by default on your browser? Also I checked on firfox, chrome and ie9 are you using an older version of the browser? Also if you leave out any of the questions the HIT can't be completed. Did you read the error message that I provided?
    I apologize that you had to face this inconvenience, if you could tell what exactly the error was and some diagnostics I would fix it. Please let me know if you can try the HIT from an alternative browser

    New batch of HITs

    Hi everyone, this is a batch of 4 HITs. This is step 2 in our series as we are trying to understand the culture and how best to use mechanical turk before our bigger trials.
    https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2U1XMB3Q39Z06JY2LHK4NVSTVUVITD

    It requires the following qualifications.
    Passing the test Qualification to categorize ungrammatical sentence of English. v1 with >2 marks,
    HIT approval rate >85,
    Total approved HITs >50,
    Location is US

    The task is the same that you have to judge whether a sentence is grammatical or ungrammatical. One person can do more than 1 HIT

    It was already mentioned in the post

    Hi Riaz,
    I am not sure why you are banging your head against the wall, because I am sure that you read my whole post and read the clearly mentioned qualification that your location should be US before clicking on the link to the HIT and wasting your time.

    Good morning, I started to work on one of your HITs but decided that it was a little more work than I wanted to do for $0.20.

    Hi bobbie,
    Thanks for your time and patience, I have received this feedback from a couple of people and I understand that it is a sore point. That's also why we haven't pushed our other HITs on to mechturk. Actually we are thinking that finally we will price it around 0.5 dollar per HIT but so far we have seen that the quality has really been variable. (We have pushed 12 HITs so far in 3 phases) Since it's not considered good to reject anyone(specially since we are the ones getting used to the platform) therefore we decided to keep the price low in the initial phases. This way we won't have to reject anyone even if their work is not up to the standard.

    I hope this answers some of the questions in your mind. Please do let me know if there are any other questions or suggestions you have
    Thanks

    Hi Tory, I was one of the people who tried one of your hits and enjoyed it, then exchanged emails with you saying the price was too low for the work. $0.50 sounds much better. maybe you can set up a longer qualification test and screen out the workers that are not up to standard that way. Please keep me informed if you are posting any new hits at the higher rate ad I would be very interested in doing them. Thank you
