[YAHU]

You're supposed to be more mysterious about it by not mentioning requesters by name but still post conversations about it.

Straight lining - marking the same answer all the way down (like "slightly agree" to everything)
Christmas treeing - making a "picture" in the dots, like a Christmas tree pattern for example

I'm so OCD that I'd spend more time on my picture than it would take to complete the survey the right way.

 

[Deleted member 526]

I've grabbed a few good surveys right off the forum today

Your responses are too cryptic or ambiguous for me to interpret sometimes.

Huh. I straight line a lot but those are my real answers. Like a whole bunch of how do you feel right nows that are negative (guilty, sad, ashamed, scared, terrified, downhearted, etc.) those would all be no no no no no no no.

PE is decent for today. The last three days have been great, actually. Maybe I should do some other work today, lol.

 

[MostlyConfused]

A Prostate or Vaginal Mesh or two and I would hit goal...

 

[Peachy]

wait. i get an email from the Erica Boothby requester saying i'm eligible for that 0.70 post-debate survey.

i try taking the survey, but it says i'm not qual'd.

I think Beauty and the Beast and Lion King are better.

What if the up and down nature of my life ends up forming a Christmas tree and then I end up second guessing my answers?

Question help, please. I grabbed a transcription HIT but when I tried to open the audio I got a message saying the provider's servers were under attack or actually said this:
We have unfortunately been hit by a download ban, imposed on us by certain browser vendors due to the fact that some malware files uploaded by our users escaped our ever-vigilant virus scanning algorithms.


We are working hard on bringing back our trust-ratings to a safe level to remove this ban, but meanwhile users, like yourself, using Google Chrome and Firefox will be faced with a warning when downloading from our site.


Meanwhile, there are several ways you can work around this:

1. Click past the security warnings
   
2. Disable security warnings in Chrome or Firefox
   
3. Install and use Opera, Safari or Internet Explorer

Got it on both computers, desktop and laptop. Both have Nortons. Only desktop also has the Malwarebytes anti malware. So I took the HIT over to IE and got it to open. Malwarebytes said it was blocking something harmful but it opened and I got it downloaded. My question is: Was it Norton's that kept it from opening in FF? I don't even know if Nortons' is set up in IE as I never use that. I think it is okay now since the Malwareb caught whatever the problem was. And I'd also like to know why would a requester load a program he knows there's a problem with? Or does he not know and the info came from their website?
I'm confused. Thank you.

I don't know anything about Norton or Malwarebytes or any of that, but I'd just email the requester and say you're having problems accessing the audio file on the site they put it on, and could they upload the audio file to Google Drive or Dropbox for you instead?

If possible with your schedule you should just stay later instead of getting up that early.
It's pretty common for some good stuff to drop in the evening and it's great because there is less competition.
Much easier to grab big surveys and you get more off batches later on.

I usually stick around until 10 or so. I'm on mom duty with kid #1 during the day so zoltars was something I could do w/o interruptions since she's still asleep. Kid #2 (unlike when I was pregnant with my daughter) doesn't have me sick all day but I have to be eating often to avoid it. Last week I ended up throwing up right after finishing Z's making it hard to work the rest of the day.
