    lol, you have to know that talking about them every time they drop will get people sniffing around.

    Even I have 10 right now, and I have never even done them before.

    There may be a way around this rejection DEPENDING on how the hit was designed. We all know that the main hit page will normally say:

    "You must ACCEPT the HIT before you can submit the results."

    nothing unusual about that BUT IF language used in the hit toward the last page along the lines of this:

    "To receive payment for participating click "Accept HIT" in the Mechanical Turk window, enter this validation code, then click "Submit" "

    You can make the argument that they did make allowance for a survey taker to actually start the hit and possibly complete the hit PRIOR to accepting the hit and that would make a difference on how long it took you to complete the survey. If they continue to reject then you could then appeal to their university's IRB (Institutional Review Board) Once it goes that far and IF you have documentation of the language used (i.e. a screen shot taken while working on the HIT) it very well may be overturned.

    Good luck!!!

    I have a full queue.. I honestly don't like doing more than 30 of them because I run out of ideas.

    k survey for my fellow turkers.

    When the money is good on a survey, do you take more time answering the survey compared to a less value one?

    Should have done more of those CIs last night. They already approved. I didn't though because one of my first rejections was from A9. It was a batch where they were asking if there were shorts in the picture and apparently everyone else thought something was shorts and I did not. Good times.

    Quick question for those about this stuff.

    Will that Throttle trick work if I am running Chrome through Sandboxie?

    I fondly remember you asking about women’s pants one day and me explaining the difference between capris and crop pants.
