mTurk is down, broken, not working for me, etc. discussion
Suspended? Bitch and moan here and maybe you'll even find help
TurkAlert.com is a website which allows you to receive alerts when your favourite requesters post new HITs. This forum is for discussion of the service and site.
Need help with Turk Alert? Have a question or suggestion? Make it here!
Questions about mTurk specifically, like "How do I do a search for a requester's HITs?" This is not for general mTurk chat.
Is it OK to eMail a requester if they aren't approving my HITs? Can I turk from two computers? Can I turk from multiple IPs? If your question starts with "Will I get suspended for..." then it goes here. Also, questions like should I give my Worker ID? Is it OK to return HITs or will it hurt me down the road? Account safety and privacy questions are welcome.
Which are the best requesters? Who pays quickly? Which HITs raise your approved percentage? Who has the best writing HITs? Etc.
Amazon Payment, gift certificate, and HIT payment questions go here. Questions about the Payments tab, including bonuses, go here as well.
You cannot ask HOW to get one, or for answers, here.
How come I can only do 100 HITs a day? When will that stop? Why can't I get paid? Newbie questions!
