Keybinds are fine, AND SMART! Go to town.
I actively hunt out people who use auto HIT submission scripts, where they don't even see the question before submitting an answer. Sometimes people can submit up to 30 submissions in a second. That ruins it for everyone. No bueño.

How do you actively hunt out those people?

Wait until it freezes in like the 10th round.

mine went through.

Lol. I think he keeps track through his external website. I don't know for sure but I don't wanna be those people.

Look for patterns and submit times

I think that was supposed to be a quote from someone, not @Lila. B. saying it herself?

they said in a different comment that they have an algorithm that probably identifies people who are submitting multiple HITs per second or whatever

Probably has something that triggers when something looks like it might be scripted then sifts through that for stuff that probably is. Then he finds their address and mails himself to them and kills them with tiny swords made of ice so the murder weapons melt leaving no trace.

Question: I took a survey, seemed normal. Then at the end, to get my code I had to take another smaller survey about a small business website and then had to write a review for them to get the original code I needed. Is that a TOS Violation?

And hello! Very new to turking but trying my best to take it all in.

Yeah. I just copy and pasted what the requester said.

Hello there! Welcome! And yeah, that does kind of sound like a ToS violation, but it depends :x

edit: Listen to electrolyte a few posts down. She probably knows what she's talking about more than I do.

Welcome! If they are asking you to write a review just in a text box in a survey, that's not a TOS violation. If they ask you to write it on their website or submit it to another website, that is a TOS violation.
