[Tuesday]

Just an fyi any more posts regarding those HITs will be moved to the thread that was linked.

Sorry Kryssyy. I'm just really conflicted.

 

[Matilda Jones]

i don't see the dilemma? it's endor, you are safe

I ended up submitting it. I was honest and got a code, just really surprised it was so short, even for endor. Hopefully it wasn't an error.

Masters?

What's this about?

Had his account banned. He thinks its because multiple google requesters blocked him in unison.

(It probably didnt help that he mentioned he was spamming sergeys email address daily.)

I think thats the jist of it. Someone feel free to correct if thats wrong.

This took me about ... 30 seconds and I got a code, but I'm afraid to submit it and can't bring myself to return it. Have an hour to debate what to do.

It took me closer to 5 minutes. There was quite a bit of writing.

i don't think it was an error, in general it is often a good idea to let quick hits cook in your que and then submit so you don't get rejected but being google and a well known requester, if they are giving a code for answering how we did then I think they want that in their data

Huh. Well, if I f'd up hopefully it's a reject and not a block.

That's what I figured. Endor's not a noob requester, they know how to tell you to return the HIT if they don't want you to submit it.

I think a few of the questions were stupid. Can't say which ones without giving SC, but you probably know which ones I'm talking about.

"What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench
there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I
said, "...and creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,

Yes, I can. Probably geared more toward those that ride scooters to work. In this town, the only people that ride scooters on the road do so because they've had their licences revoked for

Did you open the document? Some poor soul actually filled in like 20 lines before returning it.

:o

You mean you accepted a HIT?

I see you got to join me in the joy of returning this hit

But no, I didn't even do that, I just saw they wanted info on like 600 professors and I instantly said no chance I'm doing this

I like to pad my return stats.

I swear I'm starting to feel brain dead.

I think it's actually a good HIT, a quarter each for the most searchable contact info around (compared to all those crap find a CEO's email address stuff or god forbid find an article's author's contact info), but there's no way I'm doing it.
