Rejections...

I need to take some more risk, because all Oscar all the time is not only not very lucrative, it's getting boring too. But it's difficult to jump in. He did get me over the 5000 approved hit mark today, though.

 

I am waiting for the 5000 hit mark to pay off.

 

Redwood was rife with abuse the last time I looked at them. It was so obvious some clever person had figured out how to feed their audio output through a machine transcription program and spit it back as a transcription.

Curious as to why you are avoiding returning things. I haven't seen any HIT or QUAL that takes this into consideration. I return all the time and have never had any issues.

I try to generally do safe hits. So that means when I submit a hit I will likely get paid, and I won't if I return it. So if submitting is worth my time rather than returning and trying to find another one, I submit, and it usually is, because I generally know the requester or have read their TO.

 

Approved: 8716 (99.5%)
Rejected: 45 (.5%)

 

Still a noob compared to all of you, but with a month down (after a few months of very casual turking) I've been able to get both rejections I have received overturned.

... Submitted 3611 (92.0%)
... Returned 302 (7.7%)
... Abandoned 11 (0.3%)
... Approved 3435 (100.0%)
... Rejected 0 (0.0%)

That returned rate is down from over 10% ever since I saw a hit with a Submission % qual. If that becomes the norm I'm really hoping to be ready for it.

 

I started turking in May 2011 and my numbers are

... Approved 44839 99.9%
... Rejected 49 0.1%

 

Got a mass rejection from a new requester long time ago, or else I would have an approval rate of atleast 99.9%

No mass rejections; I was trying out new writing requesters for a while, so there were never more than two rejections from any given requester at a time. Some did reject a lot of what they received, according to TO; I was just cautious and lucky in those cases.

I haven't done batch HITs or new requesters in some time; I work on a low-volume approach every Turking day.

 

You've explained it, but for some reason I expected you to have tens of thousands approved under your belt.
