    I've started my own virtual currency. It's based on smiles, which I hope you all get from this gif. That's a great kind of wealth!

    Good night!

    Woo, I won my round. So I'm 2-1, should be 3-0 but I made a stupid freaking mistake.

    Oh, the event is over.

    Well, I can't really complain about 2-1, I should have gone 3-0, but I made a blunder and lost myself the 3rd game.

    We don't learn without mistakes though, so it certainly taught me to be more careful.

    Hey folks. I wanted to remind you guys that I did not promise never to reject any hits. I promised not to hard-block anyone whose work we didn't like, and also to only soft-block people whose ratings weren't very useful to us. I did not, however, promise not to reject work that was very obviously worthless.

    We only handed out rejections to a handful of workers in the past several days, and that's out of many hundreds who have worked on our hits this week. These workers (including the guy posting on reddit) massively abused our hits, and it's not even borderline. The guy rated our jokes in an average of 3 seconds each, assigning literally random ratings to our jokes, including the same jokes he rated multiple times.

    I stand by what I've always said: if you speak English, actually read our jokes, and rate them honestly, you absolutely will get all of your hits approved. I haven't seen a single case yet where we rejected someone who was taking our work seriously.

    Actually, it's not that surprising that we occasionally get workers who think they can whiz through our hits. They probably think "oh hey, this is just a subjective question, so I can answer without actually reading, and I can say whatever I want." Yes, it's subjective, and yes, you can absolutely rate honestly, but no, you can't answer randomly and arbitrarily quickly -- we'll catch that!

    So thanks to the 99% of our workers who take our tasks seriously and give us honest ratings. We appreciate it :)

    Welcome to the hoot owl shift. We're about to change over to a new day, so you might want to post this tomorrow but not on the front page. Probably won't get seen. Front page is for silly gifs and such.

    We thank you for the open communication channel, hopefully the work you get from Mturk Workers is satisfactory for your objectives with the work.
