    Your partner has failed to continue participating. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Unfortunately we must now ask you to return the HIT, have a wonderful day!

    Thanks for wasting 10 minutes of my time for your failure to read.

    Just a thought here. I know you can set up search pandas, but I think it needed a requester ID. Maybe someone tweaked it to insta-snag anything above a few bucks?

    I'm on the training the dragon one, 5 minutes of waiting for someone to speak, and I have to do 10 of these in 1 hour?

    Have always figured this was feasible. The tools are all there, you just have to have the knowledge and know how to apply it. I have neither of those things. :(

    FYI this has been brought up before and @ChrisTurk told us to drop it. Some people do have such a script and it'll remain private because it would absolutely break mturk if such a thing were released and in the hands of your average r/mturk user.

    Truth. If you have the ability to formulate this on your own, you deserve it. The rest of us can deal with normal people PANDAs, etc.

    Unless so many people have it it's leaving the rest of us with nothing?

    :salt:

    It's against the TOS so it'd be nice if Amazon enforced it

    watch the timer within the hit. because unless the requester fixed it since the last time it was up, it will autosubmit after 15 minutes and you will be instarejected if you did not complete the 10 actions.

    I don't think that many people are using it, I think it's more that more people are using mturk until school is back in and they no longer have time for it.

    It's a grey area. The people are still doing the actual work, which is what is clearly outlawed. They don't really say definitively if using scripts to catch hits is illegal. And then, where do you draw the line? No PC?

    Eh, if we were motivated enough we'd learn to code/script and the "pay" would be the increase in HITs you catch via said code. I'm not that motivated, so I'll stick with my earnings, which are fine for sitting on my bum at home during off-work days.

    Hope so haha, I'm just having a bad day and I doubt I'll make my paltry goal because of real life work.

    That's a fair point.
