You have to test the hits out before diving in, thats like a mandatory rule or else stuff like this will happen.
How do you test the hits out before? I'm new at this, have a few that are pending approval. Just wondering, thank you.
Well it's just a saying to "test the hit out" you are still doing a regular hit, but instead of completing a huge batch you do a couple of hits and wait until its approved. Then when your 100% sure the requester isnt a frequent rejecter you start doing hits by a large sum. Also check forums ask around about Hits I believe there are scripts and websites grading requesters. Don't just do random batches of hits.
Easy in some ways. Make sure you have Turkopticon. If you're doing HITs for a requester with no reviews do a few to test the waters. Check this forum for requester names to see what sort of experience others have with them. Even if you're doing HITs for a requester with a ton of reviews if you're new to the HIT do a batch of 10 to test them out.. see if you're doing them properly.. make sure they get approved before diving in. Sadly you have to be careful. Blocks can get your account suspended as can a low approval rate. TO is really invaluable and everyone should use it. My opinion of course.
