my favorite thing about this Trevor Watkins hit fiasco is there are probably plenty of people who are harassing him about his broken attention check in the hit, even though they probably lied about their job status to take the hit in the first place.
So what, do I mail him that I tried to take it and it booted me out? Cause I certainly returned it when it happened.
Hola Tanneritos
How was today? I worked most of the day so I'm only at $25 for mturk,
but I got my good laptop back and can grab all the high paying hits again.
I went ahead and sent him a mail and returned it. At least it will get us on the list if he sets up comp HITs.
Well, not everyone can be a Professional Trust Fund Baby.
i go in phases.. first .. email from amt email form. next, direct email, third, phone call to dept chair. What Trevor is doing is fraud. He's getting a ton of results for free after promising payment. You can't tell me he's not saving and using the results from the failed ACs.

It's hard to say what they will do. If I ever have an error on a survey I look at the time and contact them. If there is time, I'll wait. In this case I was asking to take it again, so I still had it. Then I saw the to and submitted with my worker id.
It's a lot more likely he just coded his survey incorrectly.

Just open your mouth, pour in cereal, swish around with milk, and swallow. No need for dishes.
He's probably not saving and using the results from the failed ACs. Let's chill on the witch-hunt shit.
