He answered my please don't reject me email (which by the way I had never resorted to in any other area of life..still...pathetic!) ...email with:
"Hi XXX - I rejected about 10 workers - not you. Thanks for the great work. TomorrowI'm going to reevaluate some of those that I rejected."
So youre probably safe.
re: Eitan Hersh pastor HITs
One thing that chaps my hide... Requesters sometimes penalize the Mturk worker if they select "N/A" or "information not found." I remember doing these HITs, and returning ones I could NOT find a pastor name on... with that awareness.
This requester is using those "N/A" selections to justify the mass rejections (if you read the last 6 T.O. entries - all mass rejects). Also, he used a "red herring" {philosophical fallacy = "hey look over there!! Don't look at this thing here!"} saying someone used a random name generator for a bunch of HITs, therefore the requester is mass rejecting several other Mturk workers (uh... that makes no sense).
Keep sharing your experience, we'll keep an eye on these requesters. :eyes:
