OK, so how is it okey-dokey for a requester to invite us to do a hit on, say,
a Russian server that's apparently not affiliated with mturk?

i think cause its just hosted there maybe?

and ugh,nice to see they didnt email me, even though i tried helping them with the broke ass hit from other other day

 

Hmm been a slow week for me, then again I've only been on for nights so that probably doesn't help

 

nights havent been too bad, not as many hits batch wise but there were decent hi pay ones that hit here and there

ive said it once,ill say it again, Mturk needs a HARD minimum timer limit of 60 minutes and nothing lower.

 

By this logic, every survey hosted using Qualtrics is breaking the ToS. As well as other hits that email you followups to avoid paying mturk fees.

 

Nothing would bring me more joy than seeing their account banned other than perhaps VRAPI's account being banned.

Go get them tiger.

 

can i ask why? ive never had an issue with them other than this last wonky hit

 

Sunday was very slow, Monday seemed typical, yesterday and today were both much slower for me than usual.

They have a long history of being worse than the shit that comes out of CT's booty.

 

Stanford HCI is probably one of the worst things for mturk University-wise.

 

They have a strong meme game but nothing else going for them really.
