Discussion- All new HITSWorthTurkingFor members, please read!

First of all, I want to welcome you to this subreddit and the mTurk community. This subreddit has made the process of being a Turkey much more profitable for me and your help will be appreciated! And each time I or my boyfriend (because we both use my reddit account for doing this) see a lucrative HIT, we are sure to post it. mTurk can be an amazing source of extra revenue, between his and my work this month alone, we've together made close to $600. I want to see everyone be able to do that! But over the last few days, the insurgence of newcomers has made HITSWorthTurkingFor much more of a clusterfuck headache and I have a few polite suggestions so that we can make this community more efficient for everyone:

*1. MAKE SURE THAT THE HIT YOU ARE POSTING IS NOT ALREADY POSTED: seriously. like most other subreddits, re-posts are bad (mmkay) and all they do is clog up the feed. If you have a great HIT you want to share, please make sure that it is not already posted. I have seen a MULTITUDE of HITs that have been posted 5+ times, and it makes it much harder to sort through and distinguish what you have/have not done.

*2. DON'T POST EVERY SINGLE HIT YOU FIND: it's called HITs... WORTH... TurkingFor, for a very good reason. If you find a $.50+ survey or something that takes less than 5 or so minutes, please please please post it. But if it's a CrowdFlower sentiment analysis or Google search engine HIT, these are something many of us do not consider worthwhile and so please refrain from posting them! Thank you so much.

*3. PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH mTURK and THIS SITE BEFORE MAKING POSTS: Most of the questions newcomers have are very explicitly answered in the FAQ sheet or on Turk itself. Definitions of TO's, AC's and other mTurk jargon is all on the FAQ sheet, please refer to it or prior posts if you are unclear.

I am not trying to be rude or sound like a snatch for posting this, but I find it necessary to make some sort of suggestion because I want this site to be as efficient and helpful to everyone as it has been for me. Thank you all for reading, have a wonderful weekend!

very Respectfully,

Miss Ditsie
