If anyone is interested, I have just sent this email to "Transcribe This (VoxPopMe)" (requester A5QQWO2U81GM6) ....... because I am sick of them randomly rejecting transcriptions with nothing wrong with them, or actually replying to any emails I send them

Hello Again Transcript This / VoxPopMe,
Here are the details of the job you rejected me for. The rejection reason you gave was, incidentally, "too many spelling mistakes."
HIT:
https://worker.mturk.com/projects/3...?assignment_id=3GD6L00D3T5ULD5P8O5X0TQZKHPM1H
Spelling Required for HIT: British Spelling
And this was the exact transcription file I sent you:

When I think about Sky, I think it's quite over indulgent and expensive. I've had the perception of that. My grandparents always used to have Sky, and I remember it being very expensive. I've never looked into it myself because I just don't think there's any need for all those channels when you've got free view and other things that are free. Advertising-wise, I think there's lots of advertising, but the one that comes to mind the most is in the town centre where I am, there's always a Sky store, and they always try and talk to you when you're walking past. Which can be quite annoying.

So please show me all the spelling mistakes I made that caused you to reject this hit for "too many spelling mistakes."
This is happening on a daily basis now. I am sending you near perfect transcripts and you are randomly rejecting them. You are also not replying to any of my emails.
I expect a detailed reply within 48 hrs. Just ignoring my emails is unprofessional and frankly, plain rude. Maybe it reflects your attitude towards MTurk workers?
Anyway, if I don't get a detailed reply within 48 hrs, I will take this up with Amazon directly, and also let the MTurk community know how you are now treating MTurk workers.
Kind Regards,
