Amazon Reacts: Spammers Kicked Out of MTurk!

I got a notification in the comments of the blog post about spam on MTurk that Amazon seems to have taken seriously the spam problem reported in my previous blog post.

Indeed, I checked the available HITs and all the spam HITs seem to have magically disappeared! It seems that all the negative publicity convinced the guys at MTurk that spam IS a problem.

I will consider that the goal of the blog post is now achieved. Amazon listened!

Good job Amazon!
