    There is an increasing amount of research on the cutting edge of why workers are motivated to participate in HITS on mturk.

    If you've been on that side of the equation in the past/present, our group would be especially appreciative if you'd share some of your insights by filling out the attached survey.

    Please email response to: derek.marshall.usc@gmail.com

    Much appreciated.
    Derek

    If only there were a way to set up a survey on why users use Mturk, a place where this could be done easily, accessing thousands of respondants, without offering them some possibly squirrely zip file to download, and instead offering them some of your money for some of their time.

    If only there were some way - some place!

    Over on the other forum, it's possible to set up polls with multiple choice answers. I don't mean set up a HIT, but just a worker asking other workers what they think.

    I guess it's quite possible here too. However, one might get more response there.

    Don't do what? Reply to him or work on his HIT? And why?

    1 post first post was to ask you guys to work on a free hit imo. seriously how hard is it to google mturk forum... thats how im here now... "increasing amount of research on the cutting edge" sounds like a hit. chances are hes not some joe blow mturk worker rather then someone looking for a free ride. If your stupid enough to do it, were you aware i babysit people accounts for them?

    Don't do the Hit. I would never download anything from MTurk - who knows what's in it. And second, you have to email it to him, giving away your email address. It's against the TOS that he is asking for it. In fact I reported his Hit as a violation of the TOS.

    And third, he only paid 2c, IIRC :rolleyes:
