I have 1,071 hits approved, less then 2 months working.

That number is going to increase. A lot.

Yea so I mean it would be easy to get your numbers up to the 99% that is required on many batches.
Like that panda said, much easier to do it at 1k than 100k.

Could get yourself to 99% in a single day if the right batch dropped.

I like to live dangerously.

LOL I have escaped a few few beheadings with nothing but a bruise luckily....for some reason my gut has always been spot on with this Turk thing

always do the safe penny batches when you can, keep building your buffer no matter how many hits you have approved, even if it's a million

I would not work on Mturk with an account under 99%, you (should) work in such a way that you would never risk putting yourself under that percentage.

Amazon will probably ban you if you get below 95. No mturk account with that low approval is worth using anyway.

closely managing the quality of the work you're getting from specific workers and managing their qual appropriately is how you will get the best data

I 'know' of someone who got a mass rejection early on and built her numbers up (I can't remember her name right now). But she used to tell the story of climbing back up to a decent approval rating. She really tanked, too (below 80%). She told the story a few times (kind of inspirational).

I agree -in general - about a high approval rating. I only have 9 rejections (so my approval rating is 99.999 or something like that). But stuff happens (as you know) and some mass rejections are the fault of shady requesters - or honest mistakes.

Anyway, I'm all for people getting second chances

it's better to have a well known member

OMG, 99% sounds like a serious number. I did not know. Thanks!

Despite our complaints, requesters are pretty forgiving when it comes to approving hits. It's not difficult to maintain 99% if you do halfway-decent work, so that's why it's kinda sketchy if your approval goes below that.

I've got a 99.97% approval rate and I'm a rat wearing overalls.

Ah yes, the weekly approval rating circle-jerk.

Yeah, you want to get to the point that if you see a really high paying batch but the requester is iffy you can say screw it and do 2000 of them cause it would only put you at 99% if they all reject

 

[lolkatB]

But make sure it's equal to or greater. Amazon, whilst it gives us the %age rate as 99.xx, for requesters, it's whole numbers. If you say greater than 99, then you will be limiting your pool of workers to people who have 100% approval rate and whilst they do exist, there aren't many of them. I think a lot of requesters use 95 or 98%.

 

[mboone73]

Ah yes, the weekly approval rating circle-jerk.

It passes the time while we wait for the weekly earnings circle jerk.

You're ability to refrain from writing out snarky remarks in paragraphs of less than 4 sentences amazes me.

That changes from day to day, from hour to hour.
Rarely is anything consistent on here.

Which comes right before the "goddamn Mondays suck" circle jerk

It's circle jerks all the way down
