Why doesn't he have a requester badge @ChrisTurk ?

 

MTS?

did you sync?

he likely never verified? or CT ignored him.

the latter much funnier.

 

Yeah I synced it first and that was where I got the $11 awaiting payment figure

If reqs register with a valid university or business email I mark them verified

Otherwise they either need to reach out for manual verification or hope I work on their stuff to be sure enough to risk giving them the power to reply publicly on TV to reviews and mark them as req account owners.

I err on the side of caution there since I dont want someone to impersonate a req and do dumb stuff. FWIW i havent purposefully ignored him but I also have zero clue who that is lol.

 

this feels like it belongs on /r/nottheonion

 

slept all day but might make goal anyway

Oh shit, Vinnie Paul just died. One of my favorite drummers. Plus, a great guy to party with.

 

This hit required me to sign into my Google account to work on it. This is a TOS violation regardless of how well it pays. Seems more and more requesters are doing this and we need to remind them it is against the TOS that they should well be aware of.
I don't know if some of the hits ask and some don't, but feel it should be mentioned in any review done for the hit.

@RA- did yours make you sign into your Google account?

Sorry, wasn't thinking, need to do this @Randomacts

 

can you report it as a mturk TOS violation? I reported a batch earlier that was doing something similar.

 

Yes and you should. I have written several Requesters and told them they can't require that per the TOS and generally they remove it, or at least they tell me they did. I also tell them that I am reporting the hit. Did that after I did the hit once, waited for a rejection and instead got an apologetic email saying sorry, they had changed it.

 

feel free to report those violations, but it's easier to just create and use a fake email

 

But that does not solve the problem of Requesters breaking the rules. The rules are there for a reason otherwise we would not have rules.

Just sayin...

 

i didn't say you were wrong
