Are HITs that automatically download a file (with no warning) against a rule? Getting a little sick of this trend.

 

06/20 - Iguana Attack Thursday

@Jane Doe someone from qualtrics told me that I don't have an account there with my email address. I didn't think of asking them to look up my mturk ID and name and stuff. so idk if maybe it was a hacker who wasn't good at hacking or something. but yeah I'm continuing to upgrade my security.

 

Why was an email sent to them from your account? I don't expect them to be honest.

I think it has to do with whatever Cloud Research posted, more of their deceptive tactics. Something is auto-sending information to Qualtrics, evidently through the email accounts. Not necessarily a hack. I wonder how many workers have had this happen, and evidently don't know. Makes me think logging out of email when working is a good idea. Not worried about batch work.

 

My turkguru caught.... let's see. oh. in a day: $0.05 cents. gj.

 

I don't feel like working and I'm at $40.50

 

closed qual?

 

That's all I do on MTurk... and I'm done. Gonna enjoy my Friday night.

 

Well deserved.

 

@turker Updating your laptop is also something to consider, especially if you're using free WiFi at the library.

Thanks for posting that! I got a high-ish fever and am probably staying in bed and watching maury episodes tonight. but I am looking forward to reading that whenever I feel better, probably tomorrow morning. I hope your evening is going great!
