Yep, I used that script once, but quickly saw what happens and didn't feel good about it.

I have been trying to get one to work where you just press up and down arrows with it automatically jumping to the next one, but my scripting is outdated and rusty lol

 

Our like button should say agree instead as a little nod to all the surveys we do

My sis used to live in Lockport, a town very amped about it's Erie Canal locks haha. I once looked out the window to see a rogue cow outside her apartment.

He actually doesn't explicitly log the time from the JS iirc (some HITs I've seen do), but because the answers update on every radio button change it will be logged somewhere on his server (most likely) and he could easily pull it. Though if he hasn't done it by now.. I'd be surprised if it ever happened (lazy bastard).

As a general rule of thumb, I disagree with the use of scripts that "auto-answer" - they introduce bias into HITs and especially for dataset building this is bad for requesters. See: Virals.

Public scripts, where possible, should really look to introduce keybinds not default answers.

Code:

    var anum = 0;
    $( 'fieldset' ).css('display', 'none');
    $( 'fieldset' ).eq(anum).css('display', 'block');
    $(document).keydown(function(e){
        switch(e.which){

            case 109:
            case 189: //down
                $( 'input[value=0]:visible' ).click();
                $( 'fieldset' ).eq(anum).css('display', 'none');
                anum++;
                $( 'fieldset' ).eq(anum).css('display', 'block');
            break;

            case 107:
            case 187: //up
                $( 'input[value=1]:visible' ).click();
                $( 'fieldset' ).eq(anum).css('display', 'none');
                anum++;
                $( 'fieldset' ).eq(anum).css('display', 'block');
                break;


            default: return;
        }
    });

This will:
* Hide all the stocks
* Unhide the first one
* Set +/- on numpad/top # row to up/down respectively, then hide the answered question and unhide the next unanswered one.

It will not:
* Bypass the math captcha

Biggest issue / room for improvement:
* If an answer doesn't stick you have to redo the entire HIT.. Its feasible to log answers that don't stick on his end and highlight them red or something but it happens too infrequently for me to bother doing that.

 

Frustrating that I am blocked (via firewall, I think) from doing these HITs. The logo does not appear, and when I click to open the second window, it never connects.
