And you can't even get the rectangular ones anymore so you'll never experience them properly.

Somewhere there's an anti-Willy Wonka who changes candy recipes just to be a ruiner

I need some advice from you guys. I want to contact this requester (Wings Foundation) regarding the rejects, but not sure how I should approach him. I don't want him to go away from us, as the pay is good. Even though the rejection might be fair, a very high percentage is not healthy for turkers. I did 25 of his hits and 3 are rejected for now.

I would just accept the rejections. If you made a mistake, you need to accept that.

I did 60 and so far have 3 rejections. I am not going to complain, because I realized I had an error in my script after I did those first 3. It was my fault, I made a mistake. I deserve the rejections.

3/25 doesn't seem too high, especially if it's possible that you really did make mistakes. (Which we all do.)

now if he rejects every single one it might be a good idea to reach out and ask for a review.

Ok but my birthday isn't until April, so it'll get moldy unless you make it out of Twinkies or something equally nonbiodegradeable.

@kryssyy implied we need to watch the "movieS", plural, which will take us at least until April. That gives me plenty of time to plan the ultimate Princess cake.

I know that, but sometimes when working with numbers it is very easy to make mistakes. There should be a way to redo them at least.

If those were all my hits I would be at 88% approval rate. I think it is a bit high .

@Kerek Would you be willing to answer some scripting questions for me?

A good rule of thumb is to never do more than would put you under 98% because of situations just like this.

 

[Squatty]

Yes.

Thanks! PM sent
