Computer simulation game: attack network nodes to steal data - $4.00

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$3.82 / hour

01:02:48 / completion time

Pros

Cons

Wow what a POS hit. Literally took me over an hour of full attention work for this. Tutorial requires you to win the game regardless of if you understand how to play or not, if you don't win, you have to restart it all again. I had to play the actual game 3 times despite the fact I already won the game, it just kept starting new rounds at the end. Each game is timed at 15 minutes. That alone is 45 min not counting the long tutorial. Ends with 2 pages of bubbles and written responses. I had 3 minutes left on hit timer at submission. If I hadn't managed to complete in time, it would have expired and I would have just wasted an hour with no chance of payment for my work.

Advice to Requester

you think less than $4/hr is appropriate pay, and with the fairly high potential of not even being paid at all?

Computer simulation game: attack network nodes to steal data - $4.00

Underpaid

Unrated

Pending

$4.59 / hour

00:52:17 / completion time

Pros

It's a game. Hack servers and desktops as you infiltrate a corporate network looking for a secret token.

Cons

It's way underpaid. Should pay at least three times as much.

The tutorial has to be repeated until you reach the twin objectives of finding the token and amassing a high score to prove your hacking skills. But because the tutorial only gives you a very limited number of turns to accomplish this, it's actually (much) harder than the main game. It took me three tries to pass it.

There's some limited writing where you have to explain why you made a particular choice.

Advice to Requester

Pay more.

Unrated

Pending

$2.95 / hour

01:21:26 / completion time

Pros

- A complete guide to play the game.
- Interesting game
-

Cons

- Tutorial takes more 25 minutes
- then comes the main task which you have to play again and again if you don't win with a 10 minutes timer.
- I won in third round by then the timer ran while filling out the review about the game.
- oh demographics come after as well.
- 75 minutes for 4$ unless you win in first round that' would take 45-60 minutes.
- i wish my timer did not ran out, i put in a lot of effort.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
