Can't Find Marvelous HITs 11/23 Make the Most out of Monday!

Anyone grab the $10 eBay HIT?

Oh nice. Just caught it on panda. Seems simple enough. '3 Things You Don't Like and 3 Things You Like About my eBay Listing'

 

will give it a try.. no panda love lately

 

I'm seeing more and more surveys that lock you out if you've got more than 5,000 or so hits. Has the academic community just decided that if you're an experienced turker than you're a likely scammer?

 

I feel like I've read something where the academic community isn't worried about scammers as much as "professional survey takers" who have seen so many of the same questions that respondents tend to start falling into pre-programmed answers or to not be influenced as much as "normal" people by survey conditions, thus not being a normal representative sample to study.

Or something like that. And HIT limits are a poor stopgap measure but it's probably the easiest thing they can do.

 

anyone want to make the thread for tomorrow?

 

I got that ebay HIT thanks for posting the panda

 

Me too!

Thanks for that panda, another $10 on the day for a little writing isn't bad.

$8 for a transcription of a 20 minute file. I feel a *bit* accomplished after 1h52min, but near the end I was yelling at the speakers to shut up each time I hit pause.
