06/02 - Spiders suck. Kittehs Rule. Friday!

[catnapped]

I (and probably others) have a pagemonitor alert set up for the reports section. As soon as someone reports something I get a ding, even if I'm not actually paying attention to the forum.

I'm willing to bet it was because of Masters being given out on 5/22. That's where the pages started taking off. Before it was rather hush-hush about Masters HITs and also about Masters vs. Non-Masters but now that it's the first time that's been given in 17 months, it's still a fresh topic. Granted, some of that is still shitposting, but I'm willing to place a small amount of blame on that.

Yes, it definitely started with that day that masters was given out, and that's okay. That was a big deal and we expect a lot of excitement over that. But we would kinda expect that excitement to die down and all that happened was the threads started getting bigger. I can guarantee that the bulk of the discussion last night was not about masters HITs.

It's true. I didn't mean for it to come out this way. </3 It's not me, it's you. No, wait, other way around.

It wasn't but why is that such a bad thing?

There is an easy way to prevent that: stop accepting HITs!

Yep, but they're still fairly easy as many are non related to each other. Get yer numbers

Who has the pool? @tricker? After work I'm coming over.

People work 24/7. It's the nature of MTurk. Even if you're "off shift" and not working, there are others who are, and who come here for work-related content and HITs.

But if I stop accepting hits I have to call SIL and tell her I'm ready to babysit and I don't want to babysit.

I agree. I think this should've been clarified with the first post. Not a knock, but I think people got scared away without clarification.

You guys do an awesome job and run a great forum, but you can't group the number of posts into a tell all thing about the thread. At night, mturk dies down, so people still post HITs every now and then, but mostly it's discussion over IRL stuff.

I think if anything got out of control during the day, no one would be afraid to speak up and say something, which I've often seen.

I'm sorry, I thought I did make it clear. I mentioned a few times that we didn't want to make rule changes, but I guess I wasn't clear enough. I was in a shit mood this morning and that tone probably came through my post a little more than I intended.

For reasons that I spelled out in my original post this morning.

Did I miss YTA today or did they never post?
