Pros:
I'm slow/easily distracted so most people can do this a lot faster than me

Cons:
A lot of reading and a lot of videos to watch. One of the comprehension questions was so specific and didn't matter in regards to finding someone liable or not or what damages to award. I don't even know if I got it right because I was focused on the facts of the case, not minute details that are not relevant. I don't think it demonstrates the level of attention I paid to the case, so I hope that'... Read more

No, you shouldn't do anything that falls into that category. It's wrong, doesn't accomplish anything, and including survey content is against TurkerView's TOS.

Also, all of your posts sound passive-aggressive, which isn't how you make a good first impression as a new turker, especially if you want people to actually interact with you and try to help you / answer your questions in the future.

NO!

 

I feel like this is called a "scammer" and not a "fake screener" and all anyone didn't understand was the use of the term "fake screener" and not the actions of ending a survey without providing a code or payment. How long were you answering questions before it "didn't need your input"? If you did a whole survey for many minutes, many pages, and/or many questions that weren't demographics and they suddenly ended it without a code to pay you, that's not an "unpaid screener" situation, really.

If there was enough time left on the timer, instead of returning it, I'd try to contact the requester first to see what went wrong. If I had invested enough time into it and/or it paid a lot, I would take screen shots of where I was at and submit the HIT anyway and message them. It may get rejected, but if it does, you'll be able to give a full review with a notice of rejection, which is more impactful than an "unpaid screener" return rejection. It also gives the requester an opportunity to fix something they may not have realized went wrong. Sometimes there are people who honestly don't understand what they're doing when they put up HITs for people to work on, and they don't realize the impact of outcomes of their surveys for the survey taker.

 

Us old timers are generally happy to help the newer folks, but let's all be nice to one another howsabout? Hope everyone is having a great day today

 

NO!

 

Night Everyone.

I personally remember another time, about a week and a half ago, when you called another requester a scammer because there was no code at the end of a survey. I took a look at that survey personally and realized that you had failed to see the instructions at the beginning that explained there would be no code and told workers how to submit the survey at the end. Just makes me wonder if you might have missed something in the instructions for the survey being discussed tonight.

Folks here have been patient and gone above and beyond to answer your questions. You're still in a learning phase and I'm thinking, don't know nearly as much about the platform as you think you do. Probably a good idea to listen when others here offer advice and explanations and show some genuine gratitude to those who have take the time to help you.
