Thank you, I was thinking I'd seen where they mentioned recent surveys that if done I could't do the current one, and thought they weren't actually the same one. I'd hope I'd notice if I took two identical surveys I'd notice, but I wouldn't be absolutely surprised if I ever did...it was the requester and/or name of the survey I thought I would't remember. Maybe they are referring to the same one usually. I'm new...lol
Also I just spent 1/2 hr on a survey that I prequalified for first, then forgot to go back and accept until I was done...when I did so it said I'd taken to many of these and to return it...this is an arbitrary Mturk thing based on stats, beginner status, etc, right? Anyway I wish I'd quit wasting time and potential money on dumb mistakes. Which I just do in life in general haha...And no I hadn't seen the hit database script, that does sound like just what I need! Thanks!
P.S. Another example of what not to do: Spending a ridiculous amt of time on a hit, forgot what or why, switching from pc to phone back to pc, go to continue the hit, see 'Return hit' and in my muddled brain ( <=====too much twirling maybe) I read 'Return TO hit' so I click it. AAAAAAUUUGGHGHGH!
