The more a requester thinks they have to pay to get quality work the less we end up getting out of it.

Well darn. I thought I had something here.

It could be tied to any of those surveys, not just the phone survey. I don't have a phone, I did all 3 surveys and am not getting captchas.

Improvments.

Did you do the 3 profile tasks?

Oh, yes I did. Sorry, when you said "phone survey" my mind automatically thought of like a survey where you call someone or something and you actually got paid for taking it lol

Yes and no. On one hand we will lose out on pre-screener surveys. On the other hand, we won't have to worry as much about being screened out

Title: Profile Information - Device Ownership | PANDA Requester: Amazon Mechanical Turk Team [AXKBO5V1Y75RL] (TO) TO Ratings: 3.33 Communicativity 3.03 Generosity 4.32 Fairness 4.00 Promptness Number of Reviews: 38 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Help us understand you better by answering a few questions about yourself Time: 60 minutes Hits Available: 1 Reward: $0.00 Qualifications: None

I don't disagree w/ the concept, but this is an offensive way of doing it. If they're charging for this info, why are we supposed to supply it for free? And it counts against the HIT limit, potentially keeping people from doing paid HITs.

They made it all back if they're really not getting captchas because of it.

If you keep talking to yourself, I'm just going to start calling you unspun.

How magical would it be for mTurk to communicated with the workers on how things are changing instead of just the requestors.

Come on, it took like 3 secs each. If it keeps us from getting one rejection or saves time by not having to do a shitty qual test then we are making money.

Better idea not to do them, they are profiting with the new fee and not paying for the demo info. The requesters will see the group is small and not use the option. Demo info is very valuable look at google and facebook, their currency is personal information.
