Tax season is still a good distance away... and this tax conversation should honestly be taking place in the tax thread so that users can easily find it later when the time comes, rather than in the daily thread where it will likely not be found.

Sorry about that! I should have thought to put it in there!

Don't miss our last HIT today: "Guess the correlation and get up to $10".

In the HIT, you will be asked to guess the correlation from a scatter plot (with a twist). The game must be played on a desktop or laptop (No mobile support). The actual HIT will require people to be online simultaneously. We will run the HIT twice today with no repeat takers.

Requester I AGEIRIHRRYV6P

The Qualification HIT information:
HIT title: (Qual HIT) Guess the correlation and get up to $10
Time: 1:30pm EST
Expected HIT length: 30 seconds
Qualification: "Guess the Correlation Score" qualification is NOT granted

The actual HIT information:
HIT title: [Play immediately] Guess the correlation and get up to $10
Time: 2:30pm EST
Expected HIT length: 10-35 minutes (depending on condition)
HIT expectations:

• Your decision to participate in the experiment is entirely voluntary.
• 45 participates will receive the quals and 36 will play the game.
• The remaining participants who are granted the quals (maximum 9, if everyone shows up on time, which is never the case) will be in the surplus room (in case someone goes idle or fails the attention checks).
• People in the surplus room will be paid the base of $2 and this will not affect their future participation in our HITs.
• The bonus varies across conditions (randomly assigned), as some conditions have longer expected play time (maximum bonus ranges from $2 to $8 based on condition)
• The average pay $14/hr so far.
• People who join the HIT late will receive: "Sorry, we've missed you" message. This is important to avoid the problem of people auto-accepting the HIT without playing immediately. In previous runs, we experienced 3-5 participants that accept the HIT and go idle (i.e., not showing up on time).

If you are to participate and get assigned the qualification, it is critical that you show up on time at the beginning of the time window. Otherwise, it would delay the start of the game for the other participants.

I'm not saying you shouldn't pay your taxes.

I'm just saying that it's better to spend that money on a jet ski.

No need to apologize to me, I'm just some random guy on the internet with no authority. I'm not offended, it's just better for users to have useful information be easily indexed and searchable in centralized locations.

MTF was a shithole that encouraged collecting shitty users. That's why we split the first time and why we split the second time. This isn't MTF or MTG.

I just snagged a $7 HIT but the Survey Monkey link is not working. I remember someone once sharing the tweak to the URL to get them to work. (Originally tried Chrome then Firefox, still no luck!)

Anyone have any idea?

I'm too old, so I can't share the time.

MTF was a shithole that encouraged collecting shitty users. That's why we split the first time and why we split the second time. This isn't MTF or MTG.

Joining MTF was the BIGGEST mistake I made when I started Turking 2 1/2 years ago.

 

[Jaded]

Joining MTF was the BIGGEST mistake I made when I started Turking 2 1/2 years ago.

If it didn't exist I would have quit turking.

So yeah, awful mistake.

 

[C to the J]

If it didn't exist I would have quit turking.

So yeah, awful mistake.

There is still time for you.

 

[catnapped]

Taxes really are the worst part of Turk in my opinion. I'm on a payment plan to pay back like 3k in taxes from the last 2 years. The bright side of that is I have come find that the IRS isn't so scary if you work with them.

Me too, and still trying to get caught up on this year's so there isn't an issue come April 15th.

 

[Turkster]

OK. Glad you are still here.
