So... I am in a dilemma right now and need some advice maybe.

There is this requester that puts out questions that are being asked from customers. It has been on going now that I have noticed around this time of night a rather influx of questions and about 90% will be the same repetitive question asking the same thing over and over.

I have a sneaky suspicion that it is one of the workers that are going to the website and just mass producing the question to increase the work load... (obviously I have no way of knowing if this is true.) While I work and make money off these questions its obviously not ethical. Soo... Should I tell the requester about it or should I just say fuck it as its not my problem and keep on doing the work as is??

Hi everyone...been lurking for a while, but just signed up when I saw everyone talking about San Jose...I'm 37 and in Pacifica.

I was only scrolling through while insomnia hit, and now I'm tired again, so I will see yall later in the morning

I don't think I'd say to the requester that it's an mturk worker - but I might say that you've been noticing some unusual patterns and were wondering about it. Maybe they could put answers on their page to 'common' questions? (I don't know the HIT, so I'm not quite sure about the sequence).
But that would be a 'solution' for them, too .
To answer your question, though, why not ask them about the pattern? I don't think it's a bad thing - I would.

Check pm when you get a second. Good morning all.

That was painful, trying to edit a misquoted post using my phone. I'll not be doing that again.

Well, that was a sad article on Slate this morning. I was reading about spring break, from the perspective of underpaid maids in Miami. I was kind of looking at all of those kids and wondering if dd wouldn't want to 'be one' of them when she's older...........and then thinking about it from the maids perspective. I hope she doesn't grow up to be so entitled - really, the mess they leave is so bad it's - I don't know -- almost abusive.

 

[klyde]

Boom i think i made it this time on the venue qual. Now i gotta figure out who has that graphic picture qual and attempt that one again

 

[catnapped]

Has anyone else noticed Qualtrics becoming more of a pain in the butt lately? I'm finding I have to wipe cookies out daily from them or else I have problems whereas I could usually let it go for weeks before I'd have to delete them.

I put the ads in first then go from there. I managed to get in three hits, which was the max atthe time before the timer stopped. Pinterests are popping off slowly.

Yeah I missed a few pinterests because of a captcha, As always captchas appear at the most inconvenient time possible.
