I got 51, and since I accidentally slept in, I'm not terribly upset about it.

my main pc is i7-950 from 2008 it is almost qualified for antique roadshow it sometimes slows down or browsers will wig out if I am running flash. I didn't know you couldn't use more than one pc, i thought it was ip or connection thanks for the information. I also use tablets for ibotta sometimes, same wifi connection are you allowed to use different devices for cell phone hits etc.?

weird an i7-950 isn't that bad even by today's standards i think people turk on here with less. I figured amazon wouldn't want you logging in to multiple computers at the same time to avoid people having multiple folks in the same house turking under 1 account with all the nice quals instead of making a new account from scratch

Husband got a preliminary job offer this week while working at his current job. He goes in this week to talk with them. Would be much closer to home with better money, hours and benefits, so please keep us in your pockets, fam.

wouldn't that be an easy way to run an mturk sweatshop ?

If you're doing it from multiple IPs and from multiple locations you might get flagged. I work in Tennessee, my work IP is from Arkansas. I tether my phone to my personal laptop at the same time, which has a varying IP. I've done this for years without a flag.

I'll send them a message. I mean i still get the exceeds message on my main pc so mturk does recognize the same connection is looking for hits, maybe they can give a better answer.

I figured they'd police this more since you could have multiple people in 1 house under the same ip sharing an account with nice quals instead of making their own new account that starts from the bottom

yeah i'm curious too. i know the PRE's are account and IP based so that makes sense you'll still get those.

Was just doing "Take a survey!(~ 15 minutes)" from requester Research Group. It said at the beginning that there would be 3 surveys.

I did two of them, then on the third one I got this message:
Sorry, you cannot participate in this survey. Please close this window and DO NOT SUBMIT HIT.

Of course, NOW I look at the TO on it, and there are tons of reports of the same thing.
