    So Anthony Sacco is a great requester. Awhile back something bugged and I couldn't submit my code so I emailed him. He created a hit for me to enter the code. Then it got auto-rejected due to "completing it 2 times", so I emailed him and he fixed it.


    Not to long ago, I did another survey of his and didn't see "don't do this again" kind of comment so I did it again and got rejected. I apologized to him about it and emailed him that I didn't see any comment on the number of times and thought it was a new survey. He replied calmly and said he'll reverse the rejection. Did not expect that at all. I love it when people treat others like real people.

    I have 1hr 15min left on the timer. When timer runs out, does it auto submit or just return?

    It returns it and adds 1 to your abandoned rate.

    I tried to download the script to post hits here yesterday and ended up with all kinds of stuff on my computer, which my husband said was a virus. ("Fix my PC" or something like that and also something that changed my search engines) Anybody else have this issue? I would like to use the Page Monitor and Data Base, but am nervous now. (actually I have tried to download the data base, but it says I can't from Chrome)

    I don't know. At the beginning of the survey it says " however, you are allowed to take up to a day to complete the survey. "

    If you have the right scripts installed and work on nothing but batch hits, you can make in between .02 cents and .10 cents every 5-10 seconds working on Mturk at any given time.

    I've done Heather's other HIT for 3.50 on 2/7 titled "Human Decision Making & Problem Solving Survey 11B".

    Does this mean I cannot do today's HIT that I grabbed? I recall someone talking about it.

    On the HIT it says: If you complete this survey, please do not complete "Human Decision Making & Problem Solving Survey 13B, or 13C. I've only done 11B. Confusing...

    Sounds like you clicked one of the add download links rather than the actual one. It's safe to download as long as you click the right one.

    I like Crowdsurf however, their grading system can be iffy. I've did atleast a thousand CrowdSurf's and have received 4 rejections from them. All of them were from my transcriptions being marked wrong by Mturk workers. So their system has the review setup similar to Redwood, except Redwood doesn't reject.
