Had too much going on over the last month to look into what happened with my account. My father passed away two days before Christmas and our 14 year old kitty passed on this past Tuesday.
I'm so sorry Pippa :hug:

Oh, that's rather sad. Thanks for the information.
No problem. From what i have read they got rid of it because they think it will cut down on scamming, because people would look for stuff that AA'd before the REQ would have a chance to check the work and they would scam those hit.

Now people just scam on the 2nd batch after finding out the AA.
Good work Mturk team.

Both of those are major, excruciatingly-sad events in our lives, so my absolute best to you, RunPippa @RunPippa. You probably are suffering significant depression. If so, I hope that doesn't last too long or get too too "deep." :(

Thank you. I’ve been blessed to have good support around me. My dad and I didn’t have a really close relationship but over the last couple of months we were able to spend some time together which allowed for a time of forgiveness and closure. That was a gift.

So? That doesn't mean I can't be irritated when something is added that renders the script borderline unusable due to a loud sound that can't be muted. You can be grateful for a script and also say when somethings wrong with it.
You can be tactful about it, too.

What I don't understand about most mTurk, general internet, and real-life scams is that the trouble to pull them off 90% exceeds the trouble it takes to do things honestly. It's the criminal mind I guess. I've worked in a convenience store and more than one time saw a person pay for something then go and shop for 5 minutes in an elaborate game to shoplift.

I keep my stealing to just stealing babies.

A gift, indeed. Never got to that place with my Dad, and have regretted it ever since.
