    Hi,
    I used to do crowdflower hits so often,because they won't reject the hits after we submitted them. I know they used to have accuracy checker in their hits. But, yesterday i did 20 hits for them. Eventhough i maintained accuracy through out the 20 hits, i got all hits rejected this morning. This is the second experience of rejection to me from crowdflower. Be aware guys

    i am from chennai,india
    I could do the task yesterday but today it is not available for indians
     
  7. Then I wonder how he done that. As CrowdFlower have got a technique for finding the location and filtering them. How this happened, how he can do that HITs?

    yesterday Crowdflower posted it for all workers but now it is not available for indians
     
  9. This most prolly seems to be an internal error in the CrowdFlower system....As everything is auto setup a response frm them is so hard to get by

    U culd always post you queries at www.getsatisfaction.com/crowdflower


    My 100 pending are being approved by em by this mean time
     

  10. +1, yeah, Dinesh try that way. You will get replies from the support team.

    Ok i will try and update the status
     
  12. OK, good luck Bro...
     
  13. Crowdflower has already stated the reason on their site why we cant know if a work is available to us only after we aceept

    This is because Mturk doesnt provide them with sufficient details about the worker on tht HIT before accepting it

    Bad luck sometimes most ofen we have to accept and then return ....whch affects our account rating and thts the reason many ppl do not prefer CrowdFlower ...

    Mass rejection(s) suck. I had that happen to me one time and it brought my rating down to an 83%. I'm weary of certain hits that don't pay out right and have disputable instructions.
