08/13 - Swimming Saturday!

[corvid]

This is my uncle. Married his first wife twice (his only child). Married 3 weeks ago to his 8th wife. Total of 9 marriages.

That sounds awful. Weddings are such an ordeal. I'm not sure I even want to go through it once, let alone multiple times.

this was terrible. after the three 'tests' the screen asks a question, then the page goes black, and ... nothing happens.

My wedding began at 1pm and ended at 5pm. As in, "the clock has struck 5 - everybody out, we're leaving". Highly recommended.

no
I'm sure you'd eventually get caught. maybe having conflicting quals assigned or something, or you might do another hit for the same requester and different demographics, and you will get caught and potentially banned from mturk. not to mention that being positive about cheating (even when joking) would make potential users that are browsing the site (including requesters) feel you are serious and that it's common, acceptable behavior

honesty within the hits is your best option, because then you don't need to remember the fabrications that you've created.

And it's against forum rules.

I'm always worried about this as my situation changes.... move to a new state, new housemate that ups household income, etc. Even when my age bracket changed last month. I went from the usual like 18-29 to the 30-39 and I'm like... ohh, am I locked out of stuff now? Always gives me pause.

Goodmorning Everyone.

He tracks all your info. Once you fill out your age and stuff, you never have to again. He emailed me after I did like, 3 of them.

It can be tricky, but it's not very common to change, and then revert to the original, change, revert back, etc..
