Some idiot on the survey/study site that I use accused me of being a bot, saying my answers were outside the norm or something like that. Um, Ok..I am not exactly in the norm, but so what? That doesn't make me a bot. It was stupid because they were using an objective standard to measure subjective responses. I assured them I answered the questions honestly..and just because it wasn't aligned with standards does not mean someone is a bot. I told them I had successfully completed thousands of surveys o n the site. They could check that if they wanted to, but they are far too lazy, maddening because it counted as a rejection..and they rejected my honest answers. I should complain..but usually the site sides with researchers. I am just gonna let it go. It won't matter in the long run..although some people freak out if something like that happens to them. Your work speaks for itself.

This was some foreign guy not a regular on the site. Also, I have been accused before of using a VPN..a big no/no on there. That is not accurate either. I never do because I know your account can be flagged for that.

They didn't like that it didn't fit into one simple pattern.

That sounds like they are making the results read what they want

Like my dad would say "Water off a duck" when someone paints you as a bot.

I think they do that sometimes just so they don't have to pay you. I know when I was doing surveys they used to tell me that I didn't qualify for a lot of them. It would be frustrating because I had answered a lot of the questions then, they tell me I don't qualify.
