Feeling sick. May have to take a break for a bit. Good luck to you all.

Just came here to say that. Threw it back, locked out. Don't care. Gonna go hang with my littlies now.

I just had one where a guy was kicking his dog to get it to move, under the action request, "walking the dog"

So my cute little 5 or 6 week old kitty that I obtained yesterday doesn't even know what a litter box is. Awesome. I never litter trained a kitten before, have no idea where to start. I put it in there after it eats but it doesn't even scratch around, just jumps right back out.

What do you guys feel is the best email service in terms of being able to block certain addresses and such? I currently use outlook but it's tedious making "rules" for each and every spam email.

I just use gmail. very rarely does anything spammy make its way into my inbox

Like warnings about writing? Sorry, I can never figure out what's acceptable to divulge and what isn't.

Anything past the HIT preview page is survey content. You can give time estimates ("10 minutes for me"), give a writing warning ("has writing!"), and say general things about your experience (like "this was good", "seems broken", "didn't have a code", or "ugh, hated it").

Did I miss the code on this one?

If you did so did I. I swear it said click the button for the code on the next page.

Spoiler: sort of yuck

edit: also, if they weren't raised by their mother and/or don't seem to be grooming themselves, you can approximate this by "licking" them with a warm washcloth (a different one!) a few times a day until they pick it up.

I emailed him and he got RIGHT back to me, like in a couple of minutes. Here is what he said:

Thanks for following up. You will be paid; we're working w/ the coders to figure out what happened...but let me reiterate, you will be compensated.

Cheers
Nick

 

[Kuddish]

Man, I seemingly have done a lot of surveys, as all the ones I'm catching saying I already did it. UGH!

 

[MerryLou]

Thank you for the suggestion! :embarrased:

I second that and just also warn that sometimes it does too good of a job and sends 'real' emails to spam.

i don't usually bother emailing when there's no code anymore. just submit with my worker ID, say there was no code and copy/paste the text of the last page.

Thanks for the advice everyone. It would probably help if I could get my kids to leave the poor kitten alone too. (I put the baby gate up so the cat can have some peace and quiet. The kids are so mad lol).
