Hi, Does any of you are facing similar problems. There are atleast 15-20 HIT's on Mturk these days, which you cannot submit. On pressing the submit button on these HIT's it take you to some other page and the actual mturk's submit button is disabled, so even after doing the work you cannot do anything but to see that HIT expire. I have seen multiple such HIT's from multiple requesters and i m assuming this is one requester with multiple fake id's Here are few such HIT's Try pressing the "Submit" button on the following few HIT's https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=10NEXK74UN4904H5HWY4P79KV3824W https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=179OIL9GPZ3R93R36SD0BBMJZ1O05U https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=16NJIPGZMSCM2TE2LMQHNRRLLY009G You'll see you can never submit these. Anyone facing similar issues?
That's not a new trick. Report them, the button for this is at the bottom left of the page. If they are about to expire return them.
Ya now i have started to understand which ones are these and i keep on reporting them, but i have learnt my lesson the hard way so wanted people to know without wasting any time on such HIT. The way to recognize such HIT's is see if you see a submit button even before u accept a HIT, normally that button is not there and it says please accept the HIT first. But if u do see the button, try pressing it before accepting HIT, and if it'll be fake it will just land on that false page "Asdfwerdfder.com"
My experience with customer support is very good and they asked me several questions about requesters that I had complained and banned them. mturk DOES NOT suspend account for reporting bad HITs. Keep reporting as many as you can, it doesn't take time but just a click. Come forward and kick all these as****** out of muturk.
When I first started I fell into that trap, I'm so glad I learned quick and now I simply report each one I find
Customer service may be sometimes bad, that also depends upon the person that is assigned to service you. Templates are used everywhere and if your complaint is serious then they will send you a personalized reply. But saying "mturk bans workers for reporting HITs that violate Amazon TOS" is a baseless argument. I don't see any reason why they should ban you for this unless you consistently report valid HITs as unethical. If you want to contribute to make mturk a better place to work then you should not discourage others from being doing this small work of reporting bad HITs. It doesn't take much efforts to do this and even if you assume only few percentage of such reports are actually being taken care then also everybody is benefited at least to small extent. Also I don't understand what do you mean by, "These guys just provide fake workers who are spammers and scammers". Instead of complaining do what you can do to improve the conditions or at least support who are doing that.
