Except for the person who used the name generator

This is why we can't have nice things.

" Second, I learned that it is relatively common to manipulate the amount of time spent on each HIT. This means that folks who appear to have spent a lot of time on a HIT may not have spent much time at all. This manipulation, which I now see is common, is really unfortunate."

So they KNOW when you're queueing stuff to try and cook them.

What type of hit was this?

That was the pastor batch (from the email above)

You had to find pastors of churches.

I remember seeing some discussion earlier about the Eitan Hersh rejections. Not sure if this was mentioned already but out of the 15 workers he rejected, he is overturning 6 of them. If you got a second email from him, then you're one of the 6. I had close to 400 rejections from him, so I'm very glad with how responsive and fair he was. Here's the e-mail he sent if anyone's curious:

so what's he going to do about his still pending HITs? I still have all 51 HITs from him pending and never messaged him since he said he was going to address the situation tomorrow (which is now today). do i need to message him? is he going to approve the rest of the HITs? This guy sucks

That was from that email above about the Eitan pastor batch.

Yes! Finally reached someone at Amazon who seemed capable of helping me get access to the money they've been holding in my payments account. This person is sure the account specialist she referred it to can release the funds within 24-48 hours, and because I've been unable to access them for two weeks, she refunded me $20 on another purchase.

So PE: $20 thanks to a helpful Amazon employee. It paid to be patient and super nice to her on the phone.

Eitan Hersh Email: "This means that folks who appear to have spent a lot of time on a HIT may not have spent much time at all. This manipulation, which I now see is common, is really unfortunate."

I'm confused by this line. Hopefully, I'm over-analyzing. However, is he stating that if you found the pastor to submit right away? Meaning, to not fill up a Queue and work from it (because time is being cooked on the Hits not being worked on from Queue.)

That is an adorable story!!!! ^_^ Mine is less glamorous lol. When I found out i was pregnant, i was surprised. Found out at the ultrasound i was having twins and had a full on panic attack. Had no idea that it actually ran on my bio moms side of the family.

Mine are both girls, fraternal. Tiny tornadoes!

I would tell you it gets better but I don't lie. My favorite question is are they identical or fraternal. When I say they can't be identical people will tell me they knew someone that had boy/girl Identical twins. lmfao

ok, here's what you been waiting for: I have to run to the P.O. real quick and hit an ATM. Solutos for everyone is 5,4,3.......

You'd think with it being a heavy metal award they would give it to a tuba player.

You rang?

considering there was 15,000-16,000 of them and people have been submitting poor quality work he probably wants to go through them and that will take time

just keep waiting, if you did good work i dont think you should have an issue

if there is a problem and he does reject some, i'm sure you could message him afterwards since he seems to communicate well

It's a reaction to bullshit rejections from requesters based on times that they overestimated, and requesters that lower the pay after seeing HITs don't take as long as they thought. That's what is really unfortunate.

Yes!! lol. I like it when they look at me in the store and ask, "are they twins?" Naw, they are triplets and i just leave the ugly one at home... come on now!
Or ill have them both in pink dresses, pink bows, and pink shoes, and they say i have handsome little men.

i don't think i submitted any where i couldn't find the pastor. i returned all of them. so i'll keep waiting but the pitchforks are going to come out if he keeps rejecting people.

Your HITs will be approved, I'm pretty sure. He's approving everyone besides the 15 that he rejected.
