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.

I did have a very nice email back when I asked for a clarification. The response I had to asking for feedback on why I had a rejection was "Go read the directions". But this does not tell me where I messed up. Did I make a typo, did I break character and slip an "I" in there somewhere? I am going over my screen shots and thus far the only error I can find is a $ that is a 4, I must have missed that. So that is a rejection for those who want to be tough, but so easy for me to fix. I completed over 35 of them, I have 1 rejection thus far, 2 approved, others pending.

idk why this music makes me happy...but it really does even though I don't have a FN clue what they're saying since it's not in menu Spanish...

Is that a tuba I hear in there? Tubas make any song more fun. They're the most hilarious of the brass instruments.

spab? Ich spreche wie eine kind.

or spass....hard to do without the right symbols....but basically "fun"

Greasy mofo.

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.

[Jerami]

Right. He's not looking for a people to tell him the videos are not in English -- the bots can pick up on that. They want to know if their bots are categorizing the videos correctly.



Even if you don't speak the language if you can reasonably deduct the topic is correct (which you often can,) you should NOT pick the do not know because of foreign language option.

Thanks. Wasn't sure of their sorting hierarchy.

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 did 51 of the qualled hits and had 2 rejections. I'm fine with that rate, but still would like to know what specifically is going to merit a rejection (or a pulled qual).

I think you're just going to scare away a good customer. I did 153 hits with no rejections. I asked her one question and got a polite reply that I posted in this forum here. She had no TO so I was extra careful to do them slowly and correctly. Honestly she gave plenty of notice in the instructions that she was going to reject admissions that didn't pass.
