4 days after work complete and rejection, Lars Vinberg reversed rejection and approved 1 HIT of mine. Progress.
Twelve other Mturk workers, document on TurkOpticon that this requester left rejects standing (from 11/29/2019) while launching new Mturk work, and responsibility / communication was an issue.
Half of these worker's TurkOpticon reviews have been updated, reflecting that requester has reversed some. Many share they will no longer work with the requester, due to his handling of the situation. Half of these worker reviews are still HIT REJECTED status today, 12/3/2019.
A few quotes from other Mturk worker reviews, below:
"After 8 days of the hit pending and seeing that work was being rejected, I contacted the requester. He replied and approved the hit immediately."
"Not surprised everyone below is rejected. His HITS are totally faulty. I am blocking him now."
"Very disappointing considering I've done countless HITS for this requester in the past. But nope my work got rejected anyway. Like everyone else, I am waiting for a response.
edit: After a couple back and forth messages, HIT was finally approved."
YMMV.
