    I got my second rejection ever since like 2017 on a HIT I did yesterday. I have over 2500 hits so it's not a huge deal but I did check TV/TO and saw that it for sure wasn't just me. Thankfully I did see that on TO someone listed the requestor's information including the ethics board at the Uni they were affiliated with. I went ahead and emailed them because it upsets me that there are unethical requestors out there and looks like this one has been at it for years.

    Since this is incredibly rare I don't really have a mechanism set up for doing this, but there was another survey I took years ago which was traumatizing to me and I wish I had saved/hung on to the ethics email for that one too.

    It does seem pretty time consuming to screenshot/copy each consent form and save manually with the name of the HIT. I'm curious why this contact data doesn't seem to be more regularly shared/crowdsourced on TV/TO (guess I just happened to luck out on mine). Assuming there is no script that can do this and that just turning on video capture when starting HITs would be the most fool proof method?

    Any thoughts?

    If you used MTS Suite, you could look it up in your hit tracker at any time

    It's unclear to me how that part of MTS suite works, what is saved and how? I've been using Hit Forker + Panda Crazy Max for many years.
