I just noticed this qualification I have: Masters Author: Amazon Mechanical Turk Qualified Users: 20686 Qualification Value: 100 Description: Masters are an elite group of Workers, who have demonstrated superior performance while completing thousands of HITs across the Marketplace. Masters must maintain this high level of performance or they may lose this distinction. Date Assigned: Nov 1, 2012 Retake date: Nov 1, 2012 I guess this is like the photo moderation or categorization masters but just in general?
Hello Gingery, Yes, I noticed this too. But the numbers don't add up. There are 2405 categorization masters and 3160 photo masters. That's nowhere near 20K. But maybe these numbers aren't updated.
I'm thinking it is a new qualification that makes you a general master? (Of what I'm not sure) LOL! It always drives me nuts when requesters attach the categorization master to a transcription hit - I always want to say that it about as useful as attaching the photo moderation master to it as neither one has a thing to do with transcription ability. Actually I didn't realize there were only 3160 photo masters. I have that one so that makes me feel special. [insert the ROTFLMAO smiley here]
