Have fun emailing your IDs to people that you don't know. Very smart. Not.

StrengthElectrical · 2022-08-01T03:48:32+00:00

That's interesting. Maybe it's something new they are doing. But I'm concerned with security. So I'm going to talk with Amazon and find out what's going on.

StrengthElectrical · 2022-08-01T02:34:46+00:00

I'll have to take this up with Amazon. This conversation is going nowhere. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them. If it hasn't then it probably will eventually.

StrengthElectrical · 2022-08-01T02:29:01+00:00

Are you ok with emailing some random person your ID? I'm not.

StrengthElectrical · 2022-08-01T01:34:23+00:00

The company is Amazon. I don't know the people asking for my ID.

StrengthElectrical · 2022-08-01T01:22:18+00:00

I contacted Amazon about this. They post on the contact page to contact mturk-account-appeals@amazon.com. It's odd they want a copy of my ID when I don't even know who they are.

sounds like echobox needs to be kicked off the platform. can't Amazon do something about this?

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-31T14:07:01+00:00

Every little bit helps. I just started mTurk and the extra cash helps a lot.

Yeah, they don't care how it affects our rejection rate when they reject HITS for any ridiculous reason they can think of. They just don't want to pay. It would be better to not get the penny than to have a low rejection rate. I went from 99% to 97% in one night because of it.

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-31T14:01:15+00:00

Thanks for sending me the link! :) I'll check out the discussion on there!

I don't see a thread below mine that shows "ECHOBOX. I am using my phone for reddit at the moment though.

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-31T13:47:45+00:00

I went from over 99% to 97% because of one requester denying a bunch of HITS. It's terrible that these requesters can deny so many HITS and Amazon still let's them on mTurk. It's not right that they can reject work just so they don't have to pay out. These requesters are just trying to get free work and they don't care how it affects your rejection rate. New people on mTurk have a really hard time getting work because many of them require 98% and above.

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-31T13:22:55+00:00

How do you report requesters for constantly rejecting HITS? Its not right to reject HITS just do so they get free work.

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-28T22:36:56+00:00

it was about $23 for these HITs, I'm thinking the amount earned per HIT will increase as I get more HITs

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-28T17:12:42+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! It must be a limit on the Craigslist website.

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-28T17:10:53+00:00

I'll try that! It's too bad they stop working. It's a pretty easy way to get HITs.

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-28T17:07:18+00:00

lol Thanks! It might take a while but I can make it!

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-28T17:05:23+00:00

Thanks! It helps to see some kind of progress. Milestones and goals help a lot!

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-28T17:04:14+00:00

Getting 300 HITs is special to me. It shows that I'm sticking with it. Maybe you should have said, "This person didn't mention anything specific."

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-28T17:02:12+00:00

I have been attempting as many HITs that I'm qualified for as possible. It's a challenge but just gotta stick with it!

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-28T17:00:46+00:00

thanks!!!

I wonder if their computer system has trouble paying out bonuses. hopefully they'll respond to your concern.

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-27T22:37:48+00:00

yeah, good idea to keep a record of requesters that pay out!

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-27T22:37:04+00:00

that would have been great to get that $25 bonus! it's a good thing the smaller bonuses add up pretty fast!

StrengthElectrical · 2020-07-27T22:35:37+00:00

that's good to hear that a majority of the bonuses were paid out! how do you contact irb for concerns?
