Search for "sex" and tp over, you'll find no shortage of avies eager to display "all body parts" :p.

A gmail addie and no reference to which academic institution and department you're associated with doesn't inspire much confidence btw.

Neither does the fact that you cross-posted this to 10 different forums :rolleyes:.

Jez, Jez, Jez.........

You're either the worst research student in the world and should probably save yourself and your tutors the life squandering energy of progressing any further..

Or..

You really need to find some self respect from somewhere.

Part of the problem is many users have multiple looks and clothing.

And since you are picking and choosing from submission, combined with offering a reward your study would likely be considered biased due to the selections of some avatars instead of all entering.

Sort of sounds like this should go employment or advertising section.
Maybe someone will participate for 200L but truthfully it sounds like a work.
As it has been said over and over again to research only small population of world ever come to forums.

Do you really think this guy is going to pay anyone L$200..?

If he's relatively smart, he's potentially found a way to harvest a number of verified email addresses for free.

If he's not smart, just a person of specialist tastes.. he has a library of avatar images... to do with as his clearly fertile imagination sees fit.

Gosh, 35p for 90 minutes work. That's some incentive. And all I have to do is send you my email address? How will you cope with the flood of offers?

My body parts I have hand drawn....not going to share those ideas someone might use them to make more money then I which is about zero right now.
I hadn't thought of this being harvesting idea....
Never thought of passing oneself off as Researcher for scamming people.
Hmm I wish they stop sending Researchers here truthfully.

L$200 for filling out two questionnaires and doing 90 minutes of work in-world? For something that we have no clue what it is affiliated with, what they are going to do with the data?

Sounds like a great way to get cheap in-world labour. Maybe he has a party coming up and needs "dancers" and will only pick out the attractive ones.

If this was for some academic institution that could be independently verified, then MAYBE I would do it, but this reeks of a scam, absent further information.

So Jez - care to say more about this project?
