Damn, it's 15 minutes into the new mTurk day and no new thread? Oh, and like the Facebook page! http://facebook.com/mturkforum
What has my life come to when I'm told I'm judging fat, hairy men's pictures incorrectly on the internet? "This image is OK. The man is in a jock strap but there is no pubic hair visible, their is no clear outline of genitalia, nor is the photo cropped below the pecs (it's above the pecs). Thus any of the potential tags aside from OK are wrong. Please keep up the hard work and review the instructions if you need a refresher. Thanks!"
For $0.30 - took about 4 mins. - great TO - Answer a short survey about job interviews Requester: Binggeli EDIT: Also, this involves no photos of fat, hairy men in jock straps which is a good thing, I dare say!
This completely off topic and i doubt anyone really cares, but you guys are the only ones awake that i know. Just got back from the gym. Weighed in at 180 pounds. OR 125 POUNDS less than my highest weight of 2.5 years ago. I teared up a little bit when i saw that weight. Sorry to hit y'all with that but I'm pretty excited and honestly just need a high five right now even if it's over the internet! EDIT: wow, thank you all i certainly dd not expect this kind of response!
No TO, I'll try anything once... Title: Find Math Webpages Using a Search Engine Requester: Min-Yen Kan [A2I9MX6S05G5TY] (TO) Description: You are to find math webpages that meet certain criteria (e.g., webpages on modular arithmetic for primary school students) using the given search engine and answer a few questions about the search you have just performed.

I was looking for more mindless crowdflower hits to do since I've run out of hairy men hits and I came across Say "Yes" or "No" for Question and Answer Pairs (special instructions!) It is literally moderating questions written by spammers that were later answered by a different spammer. In 20 hits after the training I have marked only 2 pairs as correct and I'm at 100% accuracy.
This is super easy even though the search engine you use is super slow. I'm trying to muster up enough courage to do more as it looks to be repeatable.
1.00 survey takes about 10 minutes. One for Male/One for Female Perfect TO https://www.mturk.com/mturk/searchbar?selectedSearchType=hitgroups&requesterId=A2F8IWHR1GOT1N
This is the last time I'll quote myself... I emailed the requester (no response yet) this is a batch of 8, I've done 2 and the number did not decrease. After skipping though them I noticed that there are 8 different HITs, or in this case, 8 different search projects. I feel confident that if I did all 8 it would be okay, but I'm still a little skerd of 8 rejections. It all seems legit, the system is almost like the Jaime HITs. Someone talk me into doing all 8, or someone do all 8 so I won't be in this alone...
I've only posted once before a couple days ago but I have to chime in here. Nerdlaw, that is AMAZING news. You should be super proud of yourself. Did you do it strictly the old fashioned way or did you have a little medical help? I imagine a few of us (meaning myself) can afford to lose 10 or a hundred pounds and any advice will be helpful. I'm not trying to turn the thread into a weight loss thread but that news is very inspirational. Thanks.
