What fiasco? I'm not doing anything today, apparently, I could use something to read.
A researcher created a ton of requester accounts and a ton of TO accounts to post fake reviews for those requester accounts to "study how much people value reputation."

Tribune @Tribune could probably give you a better summary.


In 2014, three University of Minnesota researchers -- Aaron Sojourner, Akhmed Umyarov, and Alan Benson -- created 64 fake sockpuppet accounts on Turkopticon to review 39 bogus AMT requesters as part of an experiment (U.Mn. IRB No. 1405E-50363).

They called it a "exogenous manipulation of a database," presumably because it sounds better than "criminal hacking of somebody else's data."

I have it as the title of a tab I have open all the time which refreshes every ten minutes. I can't escape it.
Pro Tip: Those little x's on the right side of the tabs closes them.

No, I almost always find an email and/or contact form. You will always find info on the whois, even if it is just "Privacy Prtoection" and a random email.
