I have 11 Panda'd surveys, but the only ones I'm catching today are the ones that I'm not qualified for, or that I've already done. :banghead:

When Jonathan rejected a ton in May 2014, a ton of people emailed, including me. I got this response:

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us and I'm sorry the HIT was rejected. The first course of action in cases such as this is to contact the Requester directly. You can do this using the steps below.

1. Go to the HITs tab on the Worker website and search for HITs containing the Requester's name
2. Click on the title of the HIT in question.
3. On the lower right-hand side of the box, click Contact the Requester of this HIT
4. Enter your question about the HIT and submit.

For this particular Requester, Jonathan, we've received a few other reports of this and since this appears to be a mistake on the part of the Requester we have also reached out to them and asked that they rectify the situation.

After you contact the Requester you'll want to wait for a response from them advising what may need to be done.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for your inquiry. Did I solve your problem?

I think in very rare situations where there is a mass rejection and tons and tons of angry workers, MTurk has "reached out" to the requester to let them know this. But the requester would have to agree to reverse the rejections since it's their money. Amazon's not going to fund the payment to workers.
Was the same for me when I contacted them about CT when they did that mass reject. I think that was in Nov 2014

Looking through my history, it looks like they did it for Crowd Tasks, too, in November 2014.

Both took me under 3 minutes. Seems to be a pre-screener for a $1.00 follow up.

I feel that requesters should be required to CLEARLY identify whether their HIT is going to require me to install software or plugins, or maybe Amazon could implement some sort of notation into their title system.
