MTF has a bad rep from before it was properly moderated, and because we get a lot of non-USA posters trying to buy mturk accounts. (They get banned, but not always quick enough)
Fair enough. I should probably come clean too about my scamming. Recently I turned up my mouse sensitivity so I could weave through bubble surveys quicker. Sorry for letting you guys down.
Spamgirl thinks scripts are scamming. Zingy likes to say/spread that MTF is full of scammers too because heaven forbid anyone go anywhere other than MTG. Some people just weren't hugged enough as children and need constant attention and validation. It's sad, really.
I gotta say, of all the rivalries on the internet and serious issues requiring deep and heated discussions, nothing seems to inspire as much animosity as a bunch of stay-at-homes turking for pennies.
