I am running an mTurk study and was wondering how to exclude participants that have already done the same or similar studies.
In Qualtrics I get people to type in their mTurk id and then if it is the same as a list of ids I have in an embedded data form, then it thanks them but prevents them from doing the study again.
Can I use something similar in Inquisit? I was thinking about using the values or expressions, but does they support, say a list of numbers and check the entered ID against those numbers?

You can list the "banned" IDs as a string in one or several <values> entries. Check whether a given ID is among those listed via string functions (contains() comes to mind), terminate the script if the ID is listed.
<values> / banned1 = ",ABC,DEF,GHI," / banned2 = ",123,456,789," / normalizedid = "" </values>
<expt> / onexptbegin = [values.normalizedid = toupper(concat(concat(",", script.subjectid), ",")); ] / onexptbegin = [if (contains(values.banned1, values.normalizedid)||contains(values.banned2, values.normalizedid)) script.abort(); ] / blocks = [1=myblock] </expt>
<block myblock> / trials = [1=mytrial] </block>
<trial mytrial> / stimulusframes = [1=mytext] / validresponse = (57) </trial>
<text mytext> / items = ("Your ID is not blacklisted.") </text>

Perfect. That's what I wanted. Thanks again.
