    The same thing happened to me. The instructions specifically say it cannot be a copy/paste, but oh well, that's Crowdflower's quality control. I left them feedback but it won't do any good.

    Yeah, Crowdflower won't reject you. If your quality score gets too low like mine, they just kick you out of the HITs.

    I think the way their quality control works for all of their HITs is that majority rules. So if other people grading the questions all say it's bad and you say it's good, you're dinged. If everyone else says it's good and you say bad, you get dinged.

    Click on Settings at the top of the screen and then Edit Avatar on the left hand side. You probably uploaded a profile pic, which only shows if people go to your user page.

    There's profile picture and avatar, the avatar picture is what shows up under your name when you post. SO just upload something to both of them.

    Here's the Republican version of the survey I posted earlier for Democrats. I obviously can't take this one, but the Demo one was about 9 minutes:

    Description: This study consists of two very short studies, which will take less than 10 minutes to complete in total. The first study is about values and characteristics that people care about. The second study is about people's voting behavior.

    The first part didn't feel familiar to me but the 2nd part was a study I did earlier. I still submitted since it did ask at one point if I had completed a similar study to that 2nd part previously.

    Don't know, I hadn't taken it before and it wasn't familiar to me at all, but that doesn't mean they haven't posted it before.

    Might be obvious but how would you go about finding their e-mail address?

    I tried to do a few of them but every article I clicked on there was no author listed for the articles.

    Some HITs I checked had the author and at the end of the article it said if you want to contact the staff writer of this article his e-mail is _____. I didn't accept a HIT unless I found that in the article lol you could try googling though

    I had one with multiple authors. Sent the requester an email with the information for the second author, as there were no instructions on what to do in that situation.

    I hope that's what he was looking for.

    Well I managed to get 1 hit in before they disappeared.

    Or not. They seem to be back.

    I looked hard for an e-mail address and couldn't find it. I just took a chance and submitted it and said can't find e-mail address. Let's see what happens.

    Can't believe it's 3am. Got a long day ahead of me when I wake up. Thanks to everyone for helping me make above and beyond what I'm expecting to make, as usual!
