Someone needs to run a normal academic survey that halfway through becomes a Momo survey.

The lack of Mturk creepypasta has always bothered me about this marketplace.

We are too wired and traumatized to be able to handle that kind of nonsense :disapprove:

Out of curiosity what did you try and do?
Apparently you have to pass an initial check when you start one of the hits? The character and scenerio I was given was to be a thief in a bar with an orc that I hated, and apparently I chose the wrong actions and responses. Told me to return the hit, and now I'm no longer qual'd for 'em.

Yeah, there is a specific action they want you to do for that.

That sucks, this is supposed to be a short batch though. So might toss him an email about it and see if you can dip back in.

I feel like at least once a week I get one that is like

I am a creative person [strongly disagree to strongly agree]
I am concerned for others [strongly disagree to strongly agree]
I am deeply moved by others suffering [strongly disagree to strongly agree]
I think about dying on a daily basis [strongly disagree to strongly agree]
When I die nothing no one will care [strongly disagree to strongly agree]
I have plans in place to end it all [strongly disagree to strongly agree]
I like puppies and kittens [strongly disagree to strongly agree]
I hold the door open for old people [strongly disagree to strongly agree]


That's close enough for me.

I hate this one

"It is better to do good than bad" and other variations of it.

For the longest time I thought it was an AC but I guess it's just an evil person test.

I've always sorta wondered if everyone does the same action/words roughly that I do to get through it.
Probably. I don't know for sure though.

Thanks for the suggestion; I might try it. In my two months of Turking I've always been curious about those hits, but never bit one because I was worried about not being able to finish one if I suddenly got busy at work, so I guess I don't feel like I'm missing out too badly... but I've been seeing people post about how damn lucrative they are, so I figured today I'd give it a chance.

Message them & ask to resit. It's not obvious that you can do things other than speak
Yeah, at first I didn't realize how many options for different actions there were. Not the most intuitive hit I've ever run across, that's for sure.

I think if you worry that you might be, you probably aren't

Oh they can be, I've hit $260 in a day from just them.

Yeah. I got hosed on that one the first time around. My appeal fell on deaf ears unfortunately. You might have better luck though.
