    Why is it whenever I attempt a crowdflower hit, I see this:

    Not Found

    That URL doesn't lead to anything, as far as we can tell. If you followed a bad link, please let us know where you found the bad link by dropping us a note in our community forum: https://www.getsatisfaction.com/crowdflower

    Luckily, it happens just by viewing the HIT not by accepting it but seriously, I don't know what makes me click on their HIT's. I have nothing but bad experiences with them!

    Apart from the fact that the hit sounds like spam, I've had the same experience with many CrowdFlower hits. I dunno, do they just throw anything on MTurk without doing any quality control whatsoever??

    I had that problem often, that's why I never got into the CrowdFlower hits.
