I got a rejection from Sathyaprakash Balaji Makam. The survey title was "Answer a survey about Tourism-related experience". It says: "Hi I am regretful to inform you that i have reject your work as you have completed the survey in less than 60 seconds. This is too quick as the average time for completing this survey is 10 mins."

Totally not true. It was a several page survey about travel and your favorite vacations and had demographics, etc. Literally impossible to complete in 60 seconds. Eyeroll.

Oh my lord... 50 cents for 500 pictures?? Are you for real? I got through 200 and it took me almost 7 minutes. Returned it. So bad... It wouldn't be so bad if the hit didn't prevent you from speeding through. It doesn't take me five whole seconds to tell if something is a fish or not. -_-

No you couldn't possibly have even randomly clicked through in less than 60 seconds. I'd definitely message to that effect.

I got approved at 7ish minutes.

Hi, I am regretful to inform you that i have to reject your work. You have completed the survey in less than 5 mins. The average time for completing this survey is 10 mins. Since I have to ensure the quality of responses obtained, i am sorry to reject your work.

:mob:

I know I took my time and did it right. Seems like he's just tossing out rejections.

which kind of sucks though, probably honest mistake on their part...
well, some people will adjust their TO rating if he fixes it. otherwise, as long as he continues dealing honestly, his score will go up. mistakes happen, and people can push through low points eventually

That sucks. There were a couple of shady surveys today with warnings about rejections if you didn't take enough time to complete them. Requesters have no idea how quickly a good turker can honestly complete a survey.

I can't do it either. I think I accepted it once and then returned it because I had to leave before it started. Now I'm locked out FOREVER.

This one had no TO, so it was a risk going in. But even if I'd completely randomly clicked through, there's just no way I could have done it in under 60 seconds. It was numerous pages and bubbles. :\
