    Yeah I never got a reply.

    Even if they aren't a troll they may have decided to just go get workers from there.

    He stated in another post that he has been active in the TN for long time and wants to see how is it here. I think he got a warning from sgirl for getting workers from here. :p

    She's not a troll, she really is a requester, and I don't think she got a warning since sg doesn't control who works for which requester and how they go about getting their workers. I'm not sure why she never issued quals to some of the people here, though.

    I'm probably missing out on some good paying HITs by doing this, but generally I'm wary of requesters who want emails or PMs.

    I figure, why not just post a qualification test, then come to a forum and introduce themselves and give a link to the test?

    I have done it once or twice in the past, but neither times panned out to anything.

    Out of curiosity, what can someone do with your worker ID?

    They can

    1) Block you from their hits
    2) Assign you a qualification

    Heads up guys, I just banned this user for trolling our members. I hope you realize/noticed that i'm really lenient with bans. I don't want to ever ban ANYONE, but she was just trolling/wasting your time. Basically, she was scoping out "quality folks" from the forum and teling them to move over to TN to discuss more info on her hits. If she is legit, why does she ask our members to move there? Why can't she deal with them here? As such, user banned.

    Yes, thanks to Andy. I reached out to him privately to apologize for what happened a few months back.

    I want to apologize to you all as well for not answering a bunch of the emails I received - it was rude and I am sorry! I do want to continue my communication with everyone here on this forum, and also have the opportunity to share any HITs I post that anyone may be interested in.

    Forgive me!? :)

    As long as things are on the up-and-up. The forum's seen its fair share of trollers so it may be best to make sure you communicate openly (in threads) so there's some transparency. Not saying to give qualification answers here, but to answer questions publicly instead of through PM. That way everyone can be working with the same information and talk to each other about it....

    Because they'll probably talk about it anyways but this way you're a part of the conversation.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find these HITS by searching for either Social Media Research or SMR. Do you have to be a programmer or database wonk to do these?
