I am so frustrated.

I was working on the $5 Peterson Lab on Monday, the one with the long bubble survey before Inquisit, and when I came to the Inquisit download I could not get it to download (I had installed and uninstalled earlier that morning without restarting which may have been the problem)
Emailed requester and by the time they got back to me the HIT had expired. They said they would compensate me anyway but now they won't respond to my emails.

Does this happen often?
Is my only option to write a TO?

In a situation like that I would have submitted the HIT and in the survey code box I would have put "HIT broken, see email".

Now doing this will open you up to getting rejections.

But I find it to be easier.
Many requesters may not even know how to make a compensation HIT and I don't feel like wasting my time explaining it to them.

That said, with your current situation I would send another email. Likely they'll get back to before the weekend.

As shitty as the situation is, yeah, I'd say leave a TO about it. Just be mindful to not ding their fairness rating since you didn't get approved or rejected, as the TO police seem pretty anal about that. Best case scenario, they'll email you back sometime soon. Just be mindful that they are people too and might take a while to get things done :)

Can you teach these people that there is only one Frosty and it is chocolate?

( Princess Gina Marie @Princess Gina Marie? Are there any non-heretics here?)
I feel like I'm walking in on a conversation I don't fully understand, but I can't see why anyone would accept something non-chocolate when there is a chocolate option available.
