So, out of curiosity, is there anyone who completed a largenumber of hits for Rose CMU who did not catch a higher rejection rate than average, or had 0 rejections after working dozens of them? I think the majority of us are used to risking rejections somewhat, and we can accept when we do stupid stuff. The problem comes in when a requester is rejecting work and then not leaving any feedback regarding what was wrong with the work, not offering to help resolve it, and then expecting to post thousands of hits more and for people to risk more rejections on them. I am personally not willing to risk my breathing room, or what little is left of it now, to complete her hits.

Would it be innapropriate to send her the link to her TO reviews, explain that she is scaring away her worker base and that by not reaching out and establishing a good turker/requester relationship with communication flowing both ways, her future research will likely come to a halt. Most of us, are not likely to continue doing batches with the foreknowledge that rejections are to be expected. I'm trying to figure out how to diplomatically phrase this while reaching out.
I personally didn't receive any rejections, and I did 15 of her hits. That being said, I know she gave out a lot of rejections and may be unaware of how this affects people. Even in her qual, she said we had to have 60% of the hits to receive the qual. So unlike most requesters that would still accept the work people put in, but then just not give the qual, she would just straight reject what she didn't like. She could lighten up on the rejections or at least give people a chance to fix things. I don't think it's inappropriate at all to point out her TO, and tell her that people may not work on her stuff because of the rejections and bad communication. I did email her once asking a question about how to do the hit correctly, and she replied and was very nice. I know other people did not receive any replies, or got rude ones back though. Maybe she doesn't understand how serious rejections are and communication. I may send her an email too. Even though I had a good experience with her, ya'll haven't, and she needs to know!

Sorry if that's a big block of texts that don't make sense, my brain is going a million miles per hour at the moment because I accidentally drank 5 cups of coffee.

LOL, damn that sucks I also got banned from a forum earlier today so that was productive.
I got banned from FB Marketplace, FOREVER. No reason given. The only thing I've posted (or bought, or commented on) in the last 3 months is a Disney princess table my daughter outgrew. Apparently those are the devil? I have no idea, when I appealed they just said "nope, you're screwed, bye.". *shrug*

Oh I'm not brainy, I learned a language that isn't spoken in the US (German) like... at all... so it's useless. Smart people learn Spanish.
German language always sounds like someones about to start some shit, no matter if it's a female or male speaking

woah I didn't realize it was a qualed batch. Awesome! My first useful qual in ages! :celebrate2:

I did 5 of her qual hits and was paid for them. Didn't do any of the actual batch even though I was qualed
Be glad, I don't get rejections, ever, so this is hard for me. But I did take a screenshot of each HIT that I completed before submitting it, I can't see how they are any different from the quals. I have emailed her. I explained that rejections are rare (usually) from batch requesters. And they have a serious enough impact that rejecting a lot of work coupled with a lack of communication to clarify her needs will likely result IMO with her future postings sitting untouched because we just can't risk that rejection rate, which completing her work comes with.

I told her that I would like to bridge the gap between her needs and the performance she is getting, because the worker base can only perform a HIT as well as the information provided. I suggested that I could fix the HITS with clarification on what she is seeking. I also suggested that future qual HITS have a test, and that rejections for qual hits is unheard of. Finally, I added that a qual should give her a worker pool who get say 90% of the work correct, and most requesters would not reject the work after a qual was established, they would monitor performance and reject the qual itself preventing the worker from doing those hits again in the future.

I never spoke in first person, I always included $ and location, important descriptions, but how to phrase these is a little subjective. I don't think she gets it honestly, My advice to workers would be to run. I have never dealt with a more indignant requester who made me feel like I was stupid scum and

That's honestly part of the reason I wanted to learn it. That and so my husband and I can talk shit in public without anyone understanding. It works like 75% of the time.
