    isn't that for political far-left liberals only? like a bunch of extremist left wingers have a conversation, and then it's referenced as being the opinions of political random people. and it's weird because the topics I got, I don't think they were even related to politics but the selected participants kept bringing in their liberal politics. am I thinking of a different requester?

    I have to do the test. Was going to do it this past weekend while filming my guitar shorts, then moved all that to the porch, so maybe this coming weekend? I have an unusual setup (cell phone that has a 3rd party app, ASIO interface for audio) that doesn't always get picked up by Chrome.

    practice with crappier usertesting sites like userlytics and intellizoom practice tests first, so you get the hang of it. Then do the usertesting.com one and you'll ace it. Its REALLY EASY just talk a lot and answer every question. way easier than mturk.

    I tried it a long time ago but I never was contacted or sent anything to test... if its the right platform I'm thinking of... possible it could be a different one.

    I'll check it out because I won't be doing Connect anymore.

    Thanks, I don't think I need the practice, I just need the site to pick up my gear. It would pain me to have to buy a webcam when I have two phones that look great.

    I caught 7 HITs and...

    You have exceeded the allowable page request rate

    We have detected an excessive rate of page requests. This may be due to the usage of third party scripts. Reducing the number of scripts you have running, or adjusting the settings of those scripts may lower the number of times you receive this message.

    Man at least Mturk is not slow anymore, it was awful for me pre-suspension. That is a welcome change of events.

    I got this email this morning from AWS.

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Hello,

    We are aware of the recent Amazon Payments account suspensions.
    We are currently working towards a resolution. You can monitor the following page to see when service is fully restored.

    So the standard crap. It's insane how a company so large can have such a small and terrible customer service department.

    Me trying to follow this whole MTurk saga from the outside: some people are apparently still suspended, some are unsuspended, some are getting a new kind of error while turking, some are getting PRE-limited, some say MTurk is very slow now, some say it's actually finally not slow.

    I got an email from a very nice person who runs a company in Brazil who told me he doesn't work for Amazon and can't fix my problem.

    no, an amazon sales rep was confused about what I needed and emailed that guy, and told me I should also email that guy. that guy was really nice about it and sent an email back to both me and the sales rep this morning. he just uses aws services as part of running his company in Brazil and had no idea what either of us was talking about. I'm just glad he emailed back because I was checking for an email from him saying he had fixed my Mturk and Payments account lol.

    When I got that error, QBC was going nuts, the numbers were moving super fast on that HIT. Other than that, captchas have been less than before since people had been suspended over the payment account fiasco.
