I did about 15 of those yesterday, then late in the day got an eMail from them. They're pissed that--apparently, and who knows if this is the case or not--some Turkers were working on them in multiple tabs; and they said they were going to pull all their HITs.

----------------------------
SERIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello,
You are receiving this email because you were identified to submit at least one HIT for us during the last week.
We are aware that some workers are playing our system. We tried to be friendly and removed many inconvenient features to ensure good HIT environments.
We trust all workers understand that Mturk is supposed to be a win-win platform - Requestors collect valuable data and workers have second earnings.
Unfortunately, we have observed some workers are opening several tabs all together and trying to pollute the honest data provided by other dedicated workers!
THIS IS SERIOUSLY DISALLOWED! For those of people, they are likely to get serious legal issues because workers' responsibility have been well addressed in Participation Agreement.
We want to let all honest workers know we are investigating as of now in order to protect good workers!
Here, we want to remind every worker that:
1. Any signle worker is not allowed to use several worker accounts in order to earn more.
2. Any action that could affect you to fairly do the work is prohibited.
Any dectection of the above events could receive rejections and permanent block!
The system is being repaired to address it so all HITs have been taken down.
.................................. -30-
Release it to the media, SERIOUSLY. I'm serious, huge company hires employees that threaten workers, despite the fact they cant construct a coherent thought. This is serious.

New quals for doing 5s haven't been given out in quite some time, unfortunately. Masters is basically a crapshoot.

First thing I'm going to do is give them a chance to give me a responsible, mature response to the eMail I sent about two minutes ago. But I do get your serious point. :)
