Your task is to validate that the Question is something a user might respond with and that the Answer is appropriate and guides the user to following the bot's request.
but per the instructions in the writing task:

The first portion of the task is to ask the bot a Question: Respond in a way that you normally would if you received a text or email regarding the security of your account.

The next portion of the task is to create an answer that the system could respond with.

  • It is important that you answer the question in a manner that will encourage the user to click the link or guide them in that direction after you answer their initial inquiry.
The link ends with "..reset=reject" My assumption is that the link is an immediate script to cancel a password reset request but if the provider wants to verify that the reset was valid from the end user then I would assume that the link might actually have an option to accept or reject the request. THAT's where the confusion is at least for me. Don't have me click a link to reject immediately a password reset request when you state you want to verify that the request I made is actually valid.

Yeah. I just copy and pasted the instructions on the review hits.

I still haven't gotten a reply back from Sites on my email. Still going through as though none of my account holders actually made the reset requests.

I love how almost every single aspect of this hit is ambiguous in some way.

then come up with an answer that would satisfy you enough to click on the bogus link. The goal of the hits is to convince someone to click on a link to steal their info probably as a training aid to see how vulnerable people are to phishing scams and social engineering

One thing I like about these Sites is that people generally don't like writing so I don't have to worry about the batch disappearing in 3 minutes.

if all of that were in the damned instructions it would help. How many are writing the statements as though this were actually a valid request? SMH. at least 2 of mine have been approved so far.

EDIT: just had one rejected for the 2 reviewer thing. I just messaged him on that.

EDIT 2:
I think there is a bug where they don’t see the results.
I deployed a fix so I hope it is working ok now.
I will reverse and approve shortly.
