I recently received an email from a requestor about their issues with approval rating, and thought I would share.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out regarding my study, [Ghosting Questionnaire (~20 minutes)]. My original batch did not have qualifications and almost all of the responses were bots. I relaunched a new batch with higher qualifications however and I’m noticing some bot activity but not as much as before. I think the issue I’m running into is my requester rating. Due to the original batch and some of the bots on the new batch, my approval rating is low. I have received a few harassing emails from turkers about my rating. Is there any way to change my rating? I approve all non-bot responses even if the responses are weak. I cannot use the platform if my approval rating is so low that turkers won’t take my study. Do you know how I can change this while also not paying bots? Any insight of my study on the workers’ end is also helpful.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Laura Blauenstein

Most of the responses were from bots? Hmmmm.....

If she wants, she can ask in the main thread for advice (I don't know if this was a survey or a batch).
