04/18 - Thunderstorm Thursday!

[HelloHello]

Hmm....I may have to email them. I did mine almost two days ago. It said up to 48 hours so I'll try to remember to bug them tomorrow then.

There are two of them up. I just did the second one and it says you have to wait for your bonus until everyone has participated - decision making where you allocate between persons A & B. The first one I did this morning was a group one and that's the one I got the almost instant bonus - You know, thinking about it, that could have been for a previous one from them ???

I know I am new... but I've hit this quite often while turking.

Do surveys purposely try to make white people racist?

I don't think surveys are trying to make anybody racist. It is pretty common though for people to have certain views but claim they don't, whether they realize it or not. Many surveys will try get around that by asking questions in certain ways, to try to determine how a person really feels. I don't think that's directed at just white people though. I see it on lots of surveys that have no sort of race-restrictions or anything.

Accurate.

Thanks. I just did one that it was like *do you feel bad for kids?* and I said yes... being human and a mom... and they were like WHAT IF THEY WERE BLACK?!?!? and it's like, why would my feelings change?! They are kids FFS. Sorry if I]m white and all but kids are kids.

So heard back from Empirical Jury.
You make a mistake that no americans make but nearly 80% of Indians make. Your name is ? If you send me a photo of a bill with that exact name and a US address on it within an hour i'll reverse the rejection.

Thinking that's against mturk terms and I am not willing to send him a picture of one of bills or my address so I guess I will eat this rejection and add them to my block list.

I have like 75 pending HITs. It makes my per day earnings look a lot less than they should be.

Why don't you just tell them to verify you with Amazon? Then, I'd follow up with Amazon cause they're going to report you.

Are there restrictions or prohibited uses of Amazon Mechanical Turk?

You may not use, or encourage others to use, MTurk for any illegal, harmful, fraudulent, infringing, or objectionable activities. Here are some examples of prohibited activities:

• Collecting personally identifiable information (e.g., don’t ask Workers for their email address or phone number), or otherwise attempting to derive any personally identifiable information about Workers

Tell them that is exactly what you had to do to verify yourself with Amazon, and if that's the name they have for you, then that's your fucking name. (Maybe w/o my exact words )
Tell them/remind them that asking for an address is a violation of TOS. Then report them. B/c that's messed up man.

The problem is Indian turkers buy legit US accounts and then use VPNs.

I get why they do it, but the SurveyMonkey studies where they zone in on one question and you have to press ok or manually scroll down is for all intents and purposes, mildly infuriating.

I really dislike those. I feel like I'm always fighting with it to get it to select the question that I want it to select.
