I am a researcher, and my research topic is related to the wellbeing of workers in Amazon Mechanical Turk. I am posting this thread here to interact with workers and figure out issues that cause them stress because of Mturk work so we can make appropriate strategies for improvement. Below I am giving an example of some of the issues (which may or may not be relevant for all). Please contribute if you can highlight other issues you think are important and...

I started my first batch of a 100 HITs last Sunday afternoon and so far got only 68 of them submitted.
I was planning to launch 11,000 HITs of the same type but wanted to do see how worker do on a small batch first. The submission rate is pretty concerning to me. I was expecting the 100 HITs to get done in a couple of hours. I pay $0.25 for each HIT (which should take 2 to 3 minutes to complete).
The HITs are posted at...

It also gives a csv file with the "ERROR Details" column and the error for that HIT reads "AWS.NotAuthorized". I don't know what to interpret of this error message.

Brand new requester here. We have a large number of stores which we’d like to score on attributes that impact their performance (visibility, ingress-egress, etc.). There is some subjectivity involved in this scoring, so we would like to set up a feedback loop to help the worker align with how we would score a store.

Because of this learning curve we’d like to keep the number of workers limited and allow them to work on a large number of stores. We would start small, with...

You may have noticed that there haven't been any new AdultNetHITs batches since the 10th. We were locked out of our account without any sort of notification. Now, after being in contact with support for a week it appears that our account has been suspended. We do not know why, or if it will ever be resolved.
