I did the previous version. He didn't pay the bonus until I messaged him.
Yep, reading the reviews more in depth that seems to be what is happening. I seem to remember doing the previous version as well, but I have never in my 5 years of turking have had to email a requester about a bonus. Guess they will be the first.

It happens that the bulk of my work is for one requester, so when I say "I do a kind of specialized data entry for a marketing analytics company" it's, well, true.
I still told non-techie people I did data entry even when I turked more generally, though. It both sounds legit and has the bonus of making the asker lose interest immediately, thus making it easier to steer the conversation away from the subject :)

ETA: or, what TurkLion said
Making them lose interest sounds perfect. My problem is when I'm like "HAHA I JUDGED BOOOOOOBIES TODAY FOR A BIT" and people are like "Don't you have an English degree??"

You don't have to write unless you've noticed something that the surgeon should be aware of. They said it themselves, if you're just going to say something generic like "surgeon is really skilled" then it's best to just leave the boxes blank.
Oh no I meant the ones that are like "at what time period"

I mean it's fine if I don't have to, gotta watch the whole thing anyhow. I don't write anything in the ones that say "Optional" but the ones that are like "At what point did they demonstrate blankity blank" I respond.

Yeah you don't have to do any writing whatsoever if you don't feel like it. They used to post on the forum and that's the way I've been doing them for years, even when the format changes.

hell, just let them box it out I say.
I would, but I think it would be like each of them pouting in a corner, then complaining to me about it later....it's not worth the hassle.
