This should be our theme song / dance
Granted, I like more mellow music. But I think this a perfect theme song for turking.

Does this really take 15 minutes? Because if it does it doesn't seem like it's worth the time. (Is that too negative? Sorry if it is!)

'Prisoner Christmas' still gets stuck in my head from time to time. Old school.

Did anybody else get a rejection on the Shira women in business survey yesterday? I just woke up to this:

Rejected
THE SECRET CODE OF THE SURVEY HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED WIDELY AMONG MTURKERS AND THEREFORE MANY SUBMITTED THE CODE WITHOUT COMPLETING THE SURVEY. INVESTIGATION IS IN PROCESS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.

Ugh.

I suppose something like this has happened in the history of mturk (there are lots of scams out there),
but I can't imagine a collaborative of mturk workers trying to scam survey's. If it ever worked, it would work once - for one survey. It's just not possible to scam lots of surveys. I really think requesters have an idea about us - and our ethics - that defies the 'real' way that mturk works. (And how many rejections would immediately be generated from said nefarious 'cabal').

Why not just pend approval until they figure it out instead of rejection? I don't see anything on TO about it either.

Yup, 99% sure it's a requester issue and not a bunch of scammers.
