Yeah, I was using the script but I haven't had an issue until today. I even did one earlier today that had no problems. I'm not computer savvy enough to be writing an i-anything but I got it to work by doing it over. I know, the hard way but it is what it is.

Jury Decision Making(~ 40 minutes)

Requester: Margaret Kovera Reward: $5.00 per HIT


Just caught this on panda. It says 26 minute video and then 10 mins of bubbles.

 

yup

 

Just an FYI the problem was with Joe Lo's server returning a 504 Gateway Error, and the GET failing with an error, and the progress_bar function not updating.

The script basically hammers the choices immediately. I find the math thing more annoying than just tabbing my way through, so I commented out the auto-fill, after manually 'fixing' the broken one I was doing [as I noted above].

 

That looks like a beagle....love me some beagles. Our beagle passed away a few years ago but he was the sweetest dog. Ate EVERYTHING but just the sweetest. The one in my avatar is a rat terrier mix. Probably the worst dog we've ever had...always getting into trouble...but I love her.

 

I just ended up putting a timer in my macro to slow it down. Plus, I like to randomize the inputs incase they ever figure out how to block someone that takes the script defaults everyday.

Last time I'm going to mention this from the policy agreement:

"You specifically acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) you will not use robots, scripts or other automated methods to complete the Services"

You all can make your own judgment as to whether a script that "hammers" the no column of a survey and circumvents a spam check will get you into trouble. We all want to make money, but make sure you know the risks of using scripts and macros that you did not write and are not sure what they are doing.

 

mountain feist beagle, she's my favorite dog everrrr. She is a angel and does nothing but hunt frogs at my parents house in the pond, never catching any. Haha

 

for anybody interested you can get prime for $79 today.

 

The thing is, I only really use the script to stop the annoying math questions. I've still been tabbing through and changing the defaulted inputs to my own choices. So it's not like I'm trying to submit within seconds of starting it.

 

I know harping on your reading comprehension won't get me anywhere, but for folks who are only mildly skimming, the script in question sets defaults for 100 radio buttons, after which, at least I think anyone here, goes through and changes the ones they feel reflect their predictions.

So personally, I feel a script setting 'down' instead of me setting 'down' is just fine; except, since it got in the way, I mentioned I commented out this functionality for myself.

 

Yeah, I mean if you want to hammer the semantics of yes/no, up/down you can. But my point still stands. The site is obviously trying to prevent people from spamming the survey or otherwise having problems with the rate the answers are inputted from scripters. If people get a block from the requester that's the risk they took by using your script. They can't really complain. I personally think it skirts the line and therefor maybe shouldn't have made it out of your personal toolbox to the public. But like I said we're all here to make money, just know the risks

 

mturk right now..
