Pros
Doesn't take that long to do, if you're careful enough.Pay is good.
Cons
Images have trouble loading in, and are hard to see. The formatting on the pages is bad, so that the images cover up the text as you scroll down, as the images scroll with the page for some reason.Attention checks are phrased particularly badly. For example, one reads "1=Please select #1; 10= select #1". It turns out you're supposed to select answer 1 on question 10, but you'd be forgiven for thinking you're supposed to select answer 1 or answer 10 for question 1 due to how badly it's phrased. Which could lead you to selecting a different answer for question 10, which automatically fails you out of the survey...on the very last question, and warns you not to take the survey again. Talk about 10 minutes wasted!
Of course, I did risk it, and took it again in an Incognito Tab, due to how unfair it was how poorly that attention check is set up - there are others as well, and they're easy to miss, so be careful! - so we'll see what happens.
Also, if you do any other HITs by the same Requestor you open yourself up to rejection as well, as it seems they consider doing more than one study with similar titles to be all the same study. Therefore doing multiple HITs will lead to rejections. For example, if you do "ImageCoding_UvA_439", don't do "ImageCoding_UvA_433" or anything with a similar title.
Though because although they've released over 400+ versions of this HIT, each with their own variations of unique images to rate, it may be easy to do them more than once. However, the bad formatting of the study should tip you off. So just be careful not to do them more than once! And if you have submitted one before and end up finishing another, just don't submit! I know it's a bit of time to waste, but it's not worth the rejection.
Advice to Requester
Release all of your work under a single HIT, instead of spreading them out among hundreds of unique HITs. Not only does it increase the chances of Workers doing multiple of your HITs, (apparently) causing headaches for you and ruining your research, but also hurting Workers in the process. Not to mention it gums up Scrapers and other HIT tracking programs, by flooding Mturk with similarly named HITs over and over.Please fix your attention checks. They're so poorly phrased that they're easy to do wrong. The formatting of your study also needs work, as the way it's set up now, the images we're supposed to rate are tiny - I had to open them in new tabs to see them properly - and they scroll with the WITH the page, meaning they cover up all the questions we're trying to answer. For someone who is very concerned with the quality of their data, these things greatly impact the data you're getting back, and should be fixed ASAP.

- HIT Rejected
Pros
One pageCons
- Rejected because I've completed a HIT by this requester from group C. There is no mention of group C, only not to repeat groups 1 or 2 (see screenshot below)- No response to any messages (sent one per week). One month has now passed and it cannot be reversed now.
- Comprehension checks
- Update: now rejects based on not enough time spent!
Advice to Requester
Your instructions are not consistent with your rejection policy. It mentions "don't do more than one HIT from group 1 or 2", but I have only done a HIT from group C. There is no mention of group C in the instructions.Here is a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/bMWsHTk.png
Notice that there is NO MENTION of Project (C).
You've reposted this HIT and now added an additional radio button that says "I will not do this HIT if I've completed Project (1) or (2)" but still can't respond to any emails?
Please do not reject workers for not spending enough time on this HIT. It was a fairly simple task and many of us read faster than others.

Pros
Pretty mindlessProgress bar
Cons
1) This requester LOVES to reject people for taking thier surveys twice although they may appear very different than the others youve done for them in the past. So be VERY careful in taking this one.2) If only there was some sort of setting or code that exists within the Mturk system that blocks duplicate submissions... if only?
3) AC's
4) Progress bar seems to drag when you start, but there are only 5 or 6 pics you need to evaluate, so it goes quicker than youre initially led to believe
