No, it didn't...I just checked again, just to be sure. It's not in the instructions, the consent page, nor on the article, which immediately follows the consent page.

 

Guy who did it in 2 minutes got approved, lmao.

 

Her data quality assurance methods are undeniable. Damn Cyborgs

this is exactly why I believe that people adjust their completion time in a ridiculous way.

I always report reviews with inconsistent completion time. By inconsistent I do not mean wimplo or RA; I mean 3 mins completion time with 5 mins time paged surveys or 15 secs completion time with 2 pages reading included surveys.

If you think MTurk's filter is not accurate it is not my fault or responsibility to fix it. I am only a requester and the service provider would be of greater support to you in this case. I highly recommend you reach out to their support team and argue your case as this might affect you in the future too.

(different requester btw)

 

If we did 7, can we do 8???

 

for PDRI the answer is always yes

Whew. No reject.

 

Oh yay glad you said this b/c TV includes that data as well now and that is in no way the case in this instance.

I dropped the only result that was manipulated in a weird way (900s timer)

 

That's really freaking weird, the survey I took from them looked completely different and mentioned a 90 second timer in the instructions, and the questions were on the article page themselves. There's even other people that got approved that mentioned the timer in their reviews. Maybe we had two different surveys, that sucks if its the case.

 

@THFYM is just playing with rejections on a dummy requester account. No need to be alarmed.

 

I have a screenshot of the instructions from mine, as well as the full consent page. I'm staring at the article page right now, as I haven't closed it. No mention on any of the three.
