this is getting rediculous
« on: February 01, 2012, 05:40:57 pm »
is it me or are task getting more errors on CORNFLOWERS END not the people trying to get extra money by doing these task.

Just did a 20 CENT ken fisher task, there was only 2 places to put urls for search results,  for each section, spend a few minutes doing this, make sure its complete etc, hit submit task and it comes back 0 accuracy you are missing the 4th url.

I sent them a message they need to get people who know what they are doing on their end, not ours because its getting rediculous with all these errors on the ones available, when theres not many offered for you to do period.

I don't know what task you are referencing specifically, but I did one recently and it kept telling me I had to enter info for each section, and I had no idea what it meant. Finally I figured out that the window was loading oddly, I had to scroll across and down, not just down.

I am pretty sure you mean crowdflower. With the mistakes you made in this post alone are you SURE it isn't you ?

I'm getting told I'm wrong too. Yesterday and today it told me my second or first search suggestion was wrong and I absolutely positively know they weren't wrong. I tried all three of the .20 ones the past couple days and only one of them I made it through. Something is going wrong with it. I know I'm doing it right because I've been doing these same ones for over a year now and I haven't had problems until now. I read through the instructions and I am doing everything right, so they need to check their answers. I emailed crowdflower and got an email back saying they are checking into the problem. So we will see........ :-

I've only clicked on the review button twice b/c of what appeared to be unfair or incorrect answer and both times, I immediately got kicked out of the task. From now on, I won't argue with them whatever. Not worth the bother.

You have to take your time with the Human task.  Any little mistake you will not get credit.  Also , make sure you open up a new link if you google.  It makes a difference.  Hopes this helps.

So we will see........ :-

They've STILL been having some issues with the "Search for terms" tasks because, I too have been doing these ones for a very long time and have NEVER had problems like I've been having lately. I've started using the new CrowdFlower community forum to report several issues. The only problem is that it sometimes takes forever to get a reply. One issue I reported I got a reply about 2 days later, another one I reported 2 weeks ago and just got a reply today. One thing I've been reading in the community forum from CrowdFlower reps is that sometimes their answer keys are outdated, which is why we may get an error, when we KNOW that we filled in the correct info.

I have two opinions about reporting the problems to CrowdFlower, though. One, we should so that they can update their answer keys and so that we can get credit. Secondly, with the problems I've been reporting lately and the amount of time it takes to get it resolved, including taking a bunch of screen shots, I'm not sure it's worth the now $.15 to go through all that hassle. I would just rather take a $.15 loss and move on.
