    Yeah, I tossed it.
    The bit about having to get it right and show work to be approved makes it feel like it is someone's homework.
    And if they are willing to cheat on that, who's to say they won't cheat me out of $25 even if I could figure it out.

    Dear god the new server just SUCKS.

    "Malformed message
    Your message subject or body is missing or exceeds the maximum length. Please revise and try submitting your message again."

    They can't even count the damn characters as I go like the old server? Seriously, are they THAT bad at programming? I am pretty sure a rank amateur with maybe a single semester of programming behind them could pull it off. Clearly they simply just don't give a damn.

    It says the limit is 1000 characters. I pasted my message into a character counter on another site: exactly 1000 characters. I can just guess what they did wrong. Amateur hour.

    Holy crap, those "Evaluate the results of a search engine." HITs from Zachary are SWEET,

    they approve so fast and they're really easy to do! ah, I wish more stuff was like this consistently on mTurk~


    addendum:
    ah, I did all the ones I could do, I'm glad I could make $8 in a few minutes from giving answers on how the searches went, t'was nice smooth stuff!~ :3
