I think maybe we should stop the fake attention checks too, that's probably not helping their data any.

I have read the instructions.

once you just get the ball rolling it comes naturally. I usually go with , is it alive? do humans use it? is it physical object? as my first 3 questions

From Alexandria requester:
"Actually, these HITs never paid $3, though we did have a similarly named HIT that was $3. We've always paid out $1.50 for the 20 Questions HITs.

I do try and remove players that people report, so hopefully that helps!

We'll be continuing to run these HITs for between the next few days and another week depending on how quickly we can work through our data. After that, the research we're doing that's based on these HITs will be finished."

I asked em how they drop people when they don't have a qual...uh oh!!!:

Mechanical Turk provides a way for requesters to block specific workers from doing their HITs.

It's called a "block", so if you search for that you should be able to find more information.

Just write down some questions in a notepad file & copy/paste when you are the one asking questions. copy/paste some people's questions that they ask when you are the answerer. You'll have a good list is no time & will make the hits faster.
