08/13 - Mochi Monday!

[Jerami]

I have only just cleared 10K so these are making a difference, worse, by my count, there are still potentially 50 more on the way!

You need to be more conservative in that case then. Work according to your stats. Risk when you can but never expose yourself. Its an unfortunate reality of MTurk. I have 480 that I can risk, after 46000 HITs with 16 rejections. Kinda low.

At 10k approved, each one is only lowering your approval rate by .01%. So yes they are affecting you and I'm sure it's very stressful. Even one can be stressful. But, even if they all reject, it shouldn't bring you below 99%. Everything after the decimal is "padding". So, it will reduce your ability to take risks in the future, because you never want to risk anything that could bring you below 99% but, it won't affect much of anything else.

That said, I hope you don't get any more and it was just a fluke. Never risk more than you're willing to see rejected and I'm sure you'll be fine. Deep breaths. We've all been there.

I'm still remembering all the funny T-Rex memes I've seen in the past ever since your last post.

Thanks man!

 

[Despairagus]

I'm still remembering all the funny T-Rex memes I've seen in the past ever since your last post.

I identify with them v much. I'm not very short, but my arms and legs and fingers are short. Not in a freakish way, but in a "wow you're tall when you sit down, wtf?" kind of way. Me and T-Rex are soulmates.

You said it perfectly. That's why I quoted you. I'm just an over-explainer.

Do you remember how long it took?

 

[Despairagus]

Do you remember how long it took?

It wasn't short, I remember that. But it was engaging and requires you to actually think a bit (math). I'm going to say at least a half hour.
