    See, but I started early and ended up confused and so I stayed out of the controversy.

    Just read the review and in regard to the "got called cheap labor" I'm imagining that @morweeg got an email back saying

    "Dear cheap labor,
    we regret to inform you blah blah blah.

    Yours truly,
    IRB"

    As to the $4/hr payment for Black peoples' time, based on your experience, do you feel she's offering payment that is out of line with what MTurkers tend to get for doing surveys? Also, is the amount she's offering stated as part of her MTurk notice/survey/job description?

    Our experience is that researchers are offering MTurkers pennies to as much as .50 to do a survey (and if per X amount of time, I haven't seen anything higher than about $2). And in my humble opinion, I think this is what MTurk is all about. It puts a whole new spin on "cheap labor", no matter who you are.

    I've never gotten a rejection for an AC before, my rejections(the bulk) are usually some completion code anomaly, in fact I'm not even 100% sure I didn't pass the AC for which I was rejected, coz quite frankly as soon as I'm done with a survey, it's out of my mind, but I have no way of disproving the requester, if she said I didn't, I will just take the L and keep moving.

    Well I don't have a Doctorate, just a little ole' BA, however, I know how to comport myself in an e-mail, which is supposed to be professional. But anyway, I suspect he got his PhD from QVC, so I shouldn't have expected civility.

    Is this real? Please tell me this isn't real? I mean, I've literally been called a potato before in a requester response to an email once...(for context, this was from a hit for people of an irish decent so I guess this was a funny joke to them?). This was before TV was a thing...but man. That's way out of line and I would be furious.
