What is this? Spoiler I am Tjbot! I'm a solution devised by the genious mods to prevent there ever being a day that hit threads aren't posted! The whole point of my existence is to post a hit thread if one doesn't exist by 12:08am PST. If you see this post, assume that this one is the main post. One of the mod team will clean up existing posts and consolidate once they wake up and get online. As my name indicates, I am a bot. I don't post, nor do I respond to PM's. If you have any problems, send an email to tjbot@ns4t.net or PM Tjololo, he can help out with any issues. Want to make tomorrow's thread? Just go for it!
Supposedly takes an hour. I've got 24 hours so I'll pick at it. EDIT: Yikes, it asks you for your Mturk real name otherwise you may not get paid. That's not right.

I wonder if there is a way they can actually know my real Mturk name? I might have to switch from my usual John Smith fake name.
That's what I was thinking. I think they can't know unless we send them a message which then reveals our names in the emails. There was a time when Mturk allowed us to use pseudo names on the Mturk account. We could easily send messages and the pseudo name would be on there. That was great. They changed that after the Mturk update requiring us to use our actual names in order to get paid. EDIT: This is the reason why I try not to send requesters any messages thru Mturk. If there's an email on the consent form, I will use it.

My default entry if they are crappy when asking and formatting for an email nope@nope.com (which might actually be a thing, never looked into that). But if I must share, don't even care if I'm so deep into a hit, I will return so fast. My email is my name, and changing it is next to impossible via mturk/Amazon, and being wonky isn't worth it. But I have reached out to requesters who seemed trustworthy (trust your gut, and the data) and let them know asking such a thing is a TOS violation on their end. Typically it's just a genuine "I didn't know" situation, but that's still not great. I do have a secondary email and you just gave A+ advice, Flora. I need to pay attention to the actual requester emails shared and use that one, especially when it comes to higher paying HITs. I get lazy when it comes to that. Good advice and a new thing learned.
