Great Hits 11/10/12

I was thinking the other day that they are vulnerable to a class action lawsuit. I'm not a lawyer or anything but, this whole pretense of being an independent contractor or whatever is kind of sketchy, because you have no real contract with your employer and no recourse.

Unions or lawsuits against Amazon would probably just result in them shutting the site down.

Small claims court might work though. I've heard of people taking big corporations to small claims and they usually settle. Interstate commerce allows you to sue people/businesses locally but I'm not sure how it works with the internet.

 

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

 

Set your computer clock back two hours.

 

Oh! this is horrible news. Sorry for the ones who got mass rejected. Let it all get straightened out soon.

 

An Email Classification HIT (BONUS)

Good t/o and great bonus, you can work as little or as much as you want, which is really cool.

 

Hello all.

Lurker coming out of hiding. I got some rejections from Huizhong Chen, too, but not nearly as many as some. Sorry to hear that, guys!

I don't know anything about turkopticon but am definitely checking it out after this. Once burned, twice shy.

Not sure how to post a link, and hopefully this particular survey isn't already in the thread:

Wow I really wasn't aware of what these hits were until I just ran into them .... I was imagining you had to fill in a blank with a name. Pre-set radio buttons really? How long does he really expect people to ponder that? I'm so glad I didn't find them...

 

Did this one before, if I can do this again I'm going to be so happy, so long as I can get the same rate.

And WOW, I'm so glad I didn't do those face guessing HITs last night. Sorry to hear about all the rejections.

 

Damn name guessing Hits... thank god I didn't do a lot of them. I got 23 rejections... and brought me from 99.4% to 98.9%. So sorry to the people who got hurt badly by them

Who in the hell would do so many hits with a requester that has almost no TO and no mention in a forum thread unless they have enough cushion to break the fall if there is one? Thats just crazy.. hope it works out for everyone, could be just a glitch.. lets hope thats all it is

 

looking at the TO and reviews i'm gonna go ahead and pass on this. would suggest others do the same
