1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    Oh that might be it then. It seems like the bonuses they give out are consistently the same too so that's probably done automatically too :rolleyes:

    Very simple.

    Read one idea and a few questions on it. Not even demographics.[/div]
    [div] style="width: 50%; display: inline-block; margin: 0 0 0 5px;" | Cons:
    No code blank. It was the generic code though, so guessing we are approved based on linked ID in survey link?

    IDk, messaged requester with it just in case.

    You may want to stay away if your numbers are low and rejections would really impact you until you are sure we have been approved.[/div]

    So, the bonus did justify doing this. See cons for more info.[/div]
    [div] style="width: 50%; display: inline-block; margin: 0 0 0 5px;" | Cons:
    Based on other reviews, it looks like some workers were only getting 10$ as a max bonus. And that was how it was worded in my instructions, I am pretty sure... I didn't check reviews before doing this, and was pretty annoyed at the length during it cause I thought 1 hour would be a high estimate (it wasn't, obviously).

    I emailed the requester before getting my bonus and she said it is a 10$ or 9.90 show up bonus + performance compensation (which I am guessing can range from 0-10$, though it would probably be hard to get less than 3.50 on that side of things, even just randomly clicking).

    So, as long as everyone is compensated the same way, 10$ + additional bonus, then this is a fair task.

    If you did this in the past, I might message the requester, and ask what happened to the rest of your bonus or ask for a bigger bonus because obviously had it just been a 6$ bonus or whatnot for 1.16 hours, that would have sucked.[/div]
