1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    Clicking "Completion Time" does this (focus->tab), the suggested time isn't a label for that field, though I can probably change that.

    His cat tried to drag me to hell with her today. I let matt try his "better way to set up the kennel." Spoiler alert: it ended with Holly attached to me like a face sucker on the interstate and all hell broke loose with all the animals at once.

    Are the drinks bigger in Texas too? If I ever make it out of Oklahoma, I'd love to find out.

    I like to imagine Rekog is the representative corporation for the collective races of the Federation, hell bent on answering the question "What is the difference between a purse and a hydrant anyway?"

    I'm sure you're an attractive guy, but even so I doubt anyone wants to see you in that dress bent over a server rack "fiddling with the ports" :eyebrows:

    Accuracy is definitely the selling point.

    We 100% do not want a completion time of 2 seconds because you had to submit it twice bc of PREs (thus screwing the script's time), and we don't want one that says a .50 survey took 7 min 52 seconds if 5 minutes of that was you answering the door.

    It's just better practice to have it be inputted manually. Also, I noted you mentioned in another post that that was taken away, but TV's always required manually inputting the time :dunno:

    I find it useful to know if a HIT is Turkprime ... I'm way more likely to spend a PandA on those as they frequently (always????) are doled out in batches, and occasionally the next batch comes pretty quickly. If I feel like I can add one more PandA to my current list, this info would probably tip the scale.


    I would love it became a norm to note this when posting HITs, but I would settle for making it easy to check it off (optionally of course) during TV input!

    It's almost as if it was created to collect accurate data.
