If you type a ton you may be ok it's still a matter of when it said an hour in my email just giving a heads up.

I emailed the requester through Mturk and sent a personal email. I was halfway through. Did not send it yet. I don't think you're supposed to send it if you don't finish it are you? Did anyone else send the hit without finishing it?
it really depends on the requester's TO rating and if you can afford a rejection. if you have a high approval rating and a lot of hits submitted, and the TO is a good one, you might want to try submitting

I only do the ones that are about how many x this organization will report in x month, and I use the links they provide to look at past months. I definitely write more than 1-2 sentences...do you think that's ok? That I don't post outside links?
we were actually talking a bit about it last night - https://www.mturkcrowd.com/posts/1252172/

your email didn't mention anything?

the email didn't seem to be specifically targeting anyone, it looks generic

I would say if you (in general, not yo specific) do this to make sure to send an email as to why you submitted it that way, so they know why they are getting a blank submission.

But there is always a chance for rejection on that since the work wasn't technically done, so they don't have to pay.

I have a high rating but I don't want a rejection. I only finished half of it. I'm not sure if the requestor will submit a new batch or if I should just submit it and hope for the best? What has everyone else done with this hit? Returned it or sent it?

I didn't actually get one, I'm just worried because it doesn't take me an hour

for the record I don't think I've ever been a situation where I had to do this, it's just what I would probably do if I was

Ah, see mine just said that I didn't take long enough, I can type a paragraph in literally 2 minutes. A lot of the turk requesters don't take into account that some of us can read and type very very fast.

Well, looks like it's back to the surgeon's office for me this afternoon. Day 8 of massive antibiotics and the infection just won't stop. This is gonna hurt, blah. If I ignore it why won't it just go away????
Good Luck! Some infections can be a bitch to deal with.

Wow, that's pretty good. Even when I'm full on into a scene I can't write a coherent paragraph in 2 minutes and that's on something I like.

I didn't actually get one, I'm just worried because it doesn't take me an hour

for the record I don't think I've ever been a situation where I had to do this, it's just what I would probably do if I was
Oh I did it once, I got a big fat $90 rejection. Wait maybe that was for a short timer, and I promised to send the work once i finished. Either way. It's definitely something Iwouldn't do often, but /could/ do given the right circumstances (like if I was nearly done and something happened)

I have to get ready for work. I have a quick question though. For everyone that did the seven dollar hit and could not get pass double digits because it was having trouble loading, did Turkers submit or return?

eek that sucks. Yeah, I'd definitely chance it for $90, though.
Me too and it keeps locking up on one section. Ugh.
lots of people having that happen, I managed to get mine done before then so idk :shrug:

I think everyone is pretty mixed on that and would say that you should do what you think is best and are willing ot live with if it gets rejected. Personally if I didn't do at least half of the hit I wouldn't think about submitting it. And the requester would be well within reason to not pay, since the work wasn't completed (even though it wasn't the workers fault.)

edit: I probably wouldn't submit unless I was sure I did about 75%+ of the hit. And even then only if it was a long time investment and worth wasting more time to contact the requester about.
