05/05 - Threads with TissueHime on Thursday!

Most were early one when requesters had no clue how mturk worked. I think I got 750 from one requester and 1,000 from another. The one that gave me 1,000 end up paying .36 cents a minute after they figured out turk.

My memory on this is kind of fuzzy but it also seems to me that in the olden days, requesters either didn't use approval percentage very much or had it at like 80% or something. People got tons of rejections all the time and it didn't really matter much. This was before Masters was a thing, so maybe people were less sensitive about it because there wasn't ever a fear of gaining/losing Masters because of approval ratings?

Only 15 more and I'm to 2100 rejected.....Goals

I imagine (hope) you got a good 500k buffer or so.

This is why I cannot tolerate looking at any of those Facebook groups. To each their own, but wow.

The comments I get on my youtube videos sometimes.

mostly the "can I get your requester list" ones I hate.

Like there's spoonfeeding, then there's do all the work for me.

Do endors reject? I only did a few dollars worth of hits from them.

I don't think they reject but they're a Google requester and Google requesters have blocked before.

Do you just say no, or ignore them, or give in and tell them all your beefy requester names?

Hopefully they won't block me. Im pretty sure I am not the only one who did this.

Oh, my favorite, here's my email will you tutor me and teach me how to get my funds out, do breligs, and make $30 an hour?

The first time I said no and gave a polite well thought out answer, then I started ignoring them.

I think you're right, rejections were way more common then. Like 95% of my rejections came between 2008-2010.

"Approval rating is 99%/98%" type quals weren't used much if at all back then afaik but now they're all over the place.

I'm worried about this as well. Didn't notice the British accent thing until 60 HITS submitted. That's going to kill my approval rating if they do reject...

To be fair, they should have posted it in the title of the HIT. Less people would've made the mistake of doing them. Here's to hoping they'll let it slide. :S

If you're going to post gruesome, gory stuff, could you please put it in a spoiler?

Requesters were just less picky to some extent back then. I remember seeing more HITs that either didn't have qualifications at all, or they had "Hits approved" vs "Percentage approved".

Oooh. Hoping for you that you don't get rejected. Luckily, I only submitted one earlier before I realized.

Also just finished the $3.50 Thomas HIT. I kept dosing off while hitting j,k,l. :sleep2::sleep2:

Same situation here (did exactly 60 of them). We are so use to the hits that we just go in and do them. They should've put it in the title so we can see it. I am sure others have done it as well besides us. That is both our mistake and endor mistake as well.

I would think they will let it past since I'm sure a ton of people outside this forum also made that mistake. :/ I was working on them at a really fast pace and got on a roll with them, which is why it took so long to notice. >.< And here I'm thinking, "oh my, 27,000+ HITS to do... I'M RICH".

That's not endor's mistake. They put instructions where instructions should be. Learning experience, always read instructions before you get to work on a batch
