I think the idea is to prevent people from using scripts that autosubmit as many HITs as possible without any oversight. Without the captchas, someone could theoretically sign up for mturk, then run a script to submit everything in sight with the hopes of cashing out before Amazon catches on.
Theres always that one guy that ruins it for the rest of us that do honest work. I hate that guy :mob:

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

You've received a bonus from Percy Liang for work related to 311HQEI8RSAGV15OGXDDC60AAO57Z1.
The value of your bonus is: $0.05 USD

The Requester included this note:
For great negotiation skills!

Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

So that's in my inbox 20000 times for those Percy Liang hits from...a month ago? The one where you passive aggressively argued about restaurants. It seems like this was forever ago. But yay for Percy remembering to bonus me.
