Great Hits 11/10/12

Hate his HITs but Oscar Smith doesn't have any criteria from what I remember. Try and do as many as you can this evening. Sorry, you all are dealing with this.

 

Someone should start a thread about it. That'll give it more attention and just maybe the requester will see it.

I've seen it happen.

 

I feel really bad for you guys. Especially the person who had 900 rejections, that is so brutal. I hope nobody finds this guys information and hounds him to death cause that would be wrong.

 

omg guys, this is horrible news! taking a break from this transcription, not even sure i'll be able to finish it in the four hours i was given... anyway, definitely spam amazon and the requester, the HIT never specified anything about rejecting for length of time of the hit, only instructed people to 'consider each name carefully' - who's s/he to judge how long it takes you to make a decision like that, which was so random to begin with? this is ridiculous...

 

ha ha Wink wink

 

Sometimes it's better when the TO is iffy or there's no TO to only do a handful of HITs to test the waters - unless your numbers are high enough that it won't affect your stats.

I really hate that this happened to you guys.

 

Calling amazon worked better for me. I got a personalized response in a week from someone who thoroughly looked through my situation.

 

OMFG. I want to hug you all. =-(
900 rejections. HOLY SHIT.

I'm not sure about the mass reject thing though you guys....

=-(
They should have fucking given a time if they were expecting them not to go quickly though!

 

Out of the 900 i did, he rejected 420. I did all of them at around the same speed so why did he only reject 420. I mean of course i''m glad he didnt reject more but thats shady as hell.

im watching my email like a maniac

 

I did 7 and all of mine were approved so I'm not really sure what's going on here....

 

I am sending him a message for every single rejection i got haha fck this dude I started a thred to under requestors

 

he might respond negatively to the spam though

 

Don't you see it's all in the numbers so the guy pays off a dozen people who cranked out a 10-40 hits then with the workers who did volume of any sort over and above that he pays less than a third of the work completed. I completed nearly 500 reject number was 311. Then, he can turn around and tell Amazon we're all careless workers. Yeah.

 

I'm with you !
Power to the Turkers

 

turker's union, anyone?

 

Does this mean I get health insurance?

 

Might as well contact the requester and see if they will give an extension, can't hurt because they're not going to get it any quicker if it get's abandoned and someone has to start at square one.

 

i don't know, i'm not using any transcription tricks or programs or anything, so other people might do them faster... i think i'll make it, but barely... especially if i keep checking in here lol...

 

Yoiks!! This mass rejection news stinks, my sympathies to everyone who got hit hard with this one!
(p.s. this is my first post. I've lurked on and off for a bit and thought it was about time I showed myself and said thanks for this really helpful thread. I'm still learning the ropes, but I hope to start contributing soon!)

 

guys i'm extremely sorry for posting about those hits on the thread yesterday!!
this sucks so bad.
Hopefully, we won't have to just settle for this.
