Question about (Places Database) Choosing Where A Video Takes Place:

It confused me, because a few times it wouldn't let me progress, stating that I had a couple that were incorrect. I made it to the end of each one that I did. Does that mean I'll get paid for them, or is there still a chance that I clicked incorrectly on some, and will catch a rejection?
They dont reject. They do block, unfortunately.

I don't trust those. I've tried a few times. Always 2+ wrong and I must fix them etc... then last time it was like "1 wrong. Submit and risk a block?"

i submitted it and i'm not going to do any more
Crap. I did about 10 of them today. I do NOT want 10 rejections.

So this is weird. I just grabbed a survey from Prab Sign "Academic Survey about Environmental Purchasing Practices"

But it looked familiar, so I checked and on the 10th I picked up and submitted a survey (still pending) from Prabhjot Signh called "Academic Survey about Environmental Purchasing Practices"


So it looks like it's the same survey with the same requester using two different accounts? And they haven't approved the last round? Obviously I'm not going to do it, but wtf? Why would a requester send out the same survey twice from similar but not identical names?
I had the same thing happen with a different survey. I don't recall if they used different accounts, but it was the exact same survey, within a few hours of one another.

I'll take a block over a rejection any day of the week. I don't need their blood money.


I'm lying. I needs that money.
If you're into money Noah likes to put up 15$ hits sometimes, all he wants is to see your feet from various angles.

I tried that last week. I couldn't get the right angles in time, so I had to return the HIT. I only had 10 minutes left, and only had a third of the pics taken. If only my arms were a foot longer, or I had an mturk assistant.

Consider getting a small dog, I have mine trained to take the pictures for me.

They used to be delivered with an account suspension warning email. Better to ask Metallica @Metallica than me.
I don't get it. My answers would be incorrect. That's no reason to suspend my account. Now I'm going to be paranoid of every HIT I accept. I just reached 500 approved HITs yesterday. I thought there would be punch and pie. Instead, I might get punched in my eye.

What breed did you get? I recommend Shichons, they are easy to train in both German and English. I love having bilingual dogs.
It was a Shitzonu. Mean, hateful little bastard. What kind of dog laughs at a man's feet? Made me so insecure, I couldn't take my socks off for a week.

Generally speaking most things are safe unless you do something goofy, for specific requesters it helps to check their ratings and rejections. The reason blocks are bad would most likely be that it implies they do not want to offer you their work because they more or less assume it will not be done as they want it done. Whereas a rejection is a one time thing, they just kinda happen sometimes. Your best bet is probably to work on safe things for now and build up your numbers a bit so you don't have to stress about the occasional reject that might happen.

Doesn't sound like a Shichon, they are essentially foot tall teddy bears whose sole purpose in life is to bring you joy. That or you just have bad feet, mine seem to like mine.

Was pretty sick all day yesterday and got nothing useful done. Did manage to get four monitors up today, that 3-monitor mount was annoyingly inadequate and I ended up with a very wonky setup using two monitor mounts. The left monitor is set up high so I can look out the window more easily (that's half the reason I have the setup where it is). The new computer is still on my workbench but I just need to set up scripts and stuff now.

If I switch out the Unmountable Apple for something else, or move it down onto the desk on the lower left, I can get to 5 monitors, I think. Hopefully neither mount will break, they're both unbalanced. The other two monitors aren't on because the new computer supports 4 (or 6) monitors and this one doesn't.





I don't have the patience to work today, other than this, or the energy. Just uploading these images on my work machine (without a legion of blocker extensions and edits) reminds me of how literally unbearable the internet has become without a half-dozen accessories to block all the autoplay videos and sound, modal popups, and every other vile accessory of the web designer.
