I want to tell Fusion Cash how much I appreciate their site. However, I will not refer anyone to this site as long as it has all the adult content surveys. I avoid those because that is my preference.
Yesterday, I chose a HIT that appeared to be something much more innocuous than it turned out to be. There were many objectionable words that I did not expect to see.
I respectfully request that Fusion Cash refrain from using these kinds of HITs. If you feel you must provide that service (which I consider a great mistake), then I would like to know in advance how to refrain from accepting those tasks. Thank you for listening.

Please explain what a HIT is. Choosing questionable content should always be the choice of the chooser.

I'm totally confused. I don't know what a HIT is. I have never had a survey that was "inappropriate". The only adult only thing I can think of is under tasks and they state it's for mature adults and if you don't want to see those things, don't enter!

You can hide adult content tasks from being shown in your list. Scroll to the bottom of the Daily Task window and on the right it says "Currently showing tasks with mature content. You can hide adult tasks." Simply click the link for "hide adult tasks"

A HIT is a "Human Intelligence Task"

As a another poster posted, you don't have to choose those tasks. They are quite clear in stating that they are "adult" related. It's not fair of you to ask FC to "refrain from using these kinds of...." There are many of us who choose to do these tasks and enjoy making money from them, that is, if you're talking about the "Tasks." Otherwise, I would have to suggest that you may possibly be infected with a trojan or virus and this could be the reason why you are seeing "objectionable material."
-
OP I am sorry that you were offended. I do hope that you click to restrict adult tasks.
I do participate in the adult tasks and even though the actual "adult" images are few and far between
every once in awhile I will see something and go :o or giggle.
Fusion Cash is great, stay with us and make some money!
-
I am glad you posted your concern. I see the heading and read adult material and hesitate to open this task. I always wondered how bad it could be and if it was something that the police would view as porographic or something like that. So I stay away from this task. I also don't want my kids to see things not intended for their eyes.
Fairly new to this site I am learing other tasks and can make money through them. ;)

I think "HIT" is Human Intelligence Task".
Different people have different levels of offence -- I am able to ignore the offensive pictures/language, but if you are not, I suggest hiding those tasks so you don't see them.
-
Well I guess they could rate them but that would kind of defeat the purpose. ?? :dontknow:
Having said that, I have tried a few times to do these but they have never worked or been available when I tried. So I think the exposure to the average user must be very minimal. Either way the user has a choice. If you don't want to go in and do a task that asks you to rate adult content that may be offensive then why do it? ???
-
I did some tasks earlier in the week that cracked me up with their use of objectionable language. It was to see if the misused word was funny in the context of the sentence. I literally laughed out loud at them and added money to my account in the process.
-
Like it was said over and over, if you object to something don't open it. What you find offensive others might not. To tell friends not to join FC is stupid. Perhaps your friends do not object, and it's just on the tasks, which you can hide.
-
Just want to drop a note to say that you can indeed choose to hide the adult tasks completely via the link at the bottom of the page.
And also, said adult tasks are automatically hidden for members under 18 (and they cannot un-hide them until they come of age).
But in general our philosophy has always been to offer the maximum variety of earning opportunities with the expectation that some of them are not for everyone. For most things (offers, surveys) we have an option to hide ones that you don't care for with a single click. In short, you are in control!
-
So far IU haven't seen any like that. I guess I've been fortunate. I would prefer not to see them either.
-
Well the only ones I see are in the task area and Fusion Cash lets you know it is adult content. They always warn you . Just do not click on it. I am not sure what a hit is either. But I appreciate the warnings they give us and it is up to the person if they want to do that task or not. :peace:
-
I havent seen any inappropriate surveys, though some of the image sorting tasks turn my stomach, but that is risk I take by not hiding adult themed tasks
-
LOL!! This thread made my day! It should win an award for being so original and unique! ;D
Anyhow, just because something 'offends' you, doesn't mean that it 'offends' everyone else on here. FC has ton of different Offers available, so if you find one that hurts your eyes....move along to the next one! It's really that simple. Now, I'm not sure whether you are referring to the Tasks or the Surveys (since you do mention 'adult content surveys' in the second sentence) but if you are referring to the Tasks, you can indeed 'hide adult content'. There's a blue button towards the bottom of the main task page, just above the 'Task Leaderboard'. However, if you are referring to Surveys, you can't 'hide' any. If you come across a survey that discusses a topic you find offensive, just click the [X] and move on. As for what you said about not referring people until this site gets 'cleaned up', the only one who will be missing out.... is you....since you can earn good money with Referrals. And maybe you get 'offended' easily but maybe that's not the case for people in your entourage (family, friends) that you would've liked to refer to FC.
FusionCash is a great site! Take it as it is....or leave it. Completely up to you! :wave:
I knew this would be controversial when I posted it. I must say I'm surprised at how friendly and encouraging everyone who responded has been. I'm quite impressed with the Fusion Cash survey takers. I must say thanks for all your responses. :notworthy: I will hang in there.

I do some of the Crowdflower tasks and those other HIT things too. ;) I know exactly what you're talking about and no, CF doesn't always clearly label their tasks when adult content is present. Of course on the tasks it tends to show up on, they may not even know it's there. Let me guess, the writing tasks? If you can get past the occasional BS people pull on those, you can make a KILLING doing them you know. :thumbsup:
If it's on the internet, it will be trolled. 'Nuff said.
I don't mind so much for myself, I'll do adult content HITs when my kids aren't around. But I often do microtasking while watching tv or movies or am otherwise in the room with my kids, because it's so easy to split my timeand attention between doing a few HITs and giving them my attention when needed. I like it when it's clearly labeled so I don't open adult tasks while they're in the house and awake. I just don't open many CF tasks while they're around and stick to HITs and other sources, which is rather unfortunate but not necessarily Crowdflower's fault and certainly not Fusion Cash's fault. All they do is put up the wall and allow us to hide tasks marked adult if we choose, what more can be expected?

I've done "adult content" tasks in the past but I remember them being labeled as "Adult Content" I'm not aware of anything else that hasn't been labeled but then again I don't spend a lot of time on here. If there is questionable content that was not labeled by FC the best thing to do if it offends you is don't do tasks anymore. It's as simple as that and it may sound very blunt but I don't see why someone would make a complaint over something that is their choice for doing.
As an example, with television it's a little bit different because if you pay for cable you don't expect questionable content to be on after a certain time that your kids can have access too which is why for the most part it is monitored but there is still some stuff that slips through the cracks that I wouldn't let my daughter watch. On the Internet, adult content is all over the place unless you completely filter your browser which sometimes locks you out of websites that don't have questionable content.
My advice is if there are tasks that offend you maybe it's best to not do them or just tough it out and ignore it.
-
If you don't like the site then leave! FC is a great site! Like others have said above, you CAN hide the adult only tasks at the bottom of the tasks page! There are plenty of other tasks available! FC didn't force you to click on that task! :- :- Good luck!

Well said elisajoy, there are so many things to do on FC which you can simply choose the one you want or move on to others if you find it offensive. I love FC and I have only been on for less than a month.

That adult content is absolutely our choice to enter, and if we dont want to do this task, we can hide this. and yes, most members post here are encouraging ang helpful. Thats why I love this forum. :wave: :heart:
-
Yeah you have the option to click on it but if you are offended then you don't have to click on it. It tells you it's adult content so it is all up to you and there is a link to hide all adult contents. You might want to check on that link
-
Lol..
Its all already been said but I was just wondering how you "accidentally" click on the adult content. It warns you in several places, gives you the option to hide adult content, and the next page even asks you to confirm your birth date with Adult Content in bold letters. But oh well, now you know & can pay attention to that.
-
I have never seen anything marked ADULT that is actually all that adult in content. But anyways, they are always marked as mature or adult, so someone who doesn't want that should just not click it
