are non-masters ever not angry? I dont get why masters is even that big of a deal. I would say less than 5% of my work ever has been masters hits

 

Someone forgot to mention something, but I am not gonna say it.

 

To be fair, although masters did seem random at some point, if you look at the numbers of people that have gotten it since May, I haven't noticed anything random about it. I seem to recall someone having an absence for a few months, but still had terrific numbers. Other than that anomaly, it seems everyone that got it met a certain threshold for hits, approval rating, and account length.

That accounts for why certain people get it, but I haven't noticed a pattern for why certain people don't get it. We'd all need to post our stats and if we have masters or not to see if a pattern emerges.

Or it's all completely random

 

YES WE ARE. CAPTCHAS RAGE

 

No more CAPTCHAs! That's right; they've removed the CAPTCHA for Masters on ALL of the HITs they complete.

 

What is a captcha?

 

Captchas on batches would like to have a word with you

 

Risky Giphy search of the day: bite head

 

You are right, of course, but when someone rolls in here and says, Gosh I haven't been around , in For-evah! What has been happening and why do I have masters?... I want to smack them in a totally non violent way of course.
