Can't find good HITs? 11/27

Slow day, too much going on for me to turk. Less than $5 so far, that makes me sad! I need money! Doing Crowdsource keyword HiT's now, maybe something else will come up soon. I'm not a big fan of the NetMsi tagging HiT's, I strongly prefer the titles.

 

Me too.

 

I sent the following message to Sean M - LOL. Too harsh?

I am certain I completed the survey and provided the correct code in the hit. I frequent a popular forum for MTurk workers and several others were complaining about being rejected for this hit today. I wanted to check with you and make sure there wasn't a problem on your end. Please reconsider the rejection or least verify there wasn't a glitch on your side. You may be interested to know that requesters are rated on a third party site and many workers rely on these ratings before deciding which hits to do. Your rating was pummeled today because of the rejections. Reversals would go a long way to restoring your reputation.

 

Sitting at 22.42 debating if I am going to go for the gold aka 25 dollars..not bad for turking and working another job and doing homework with the kids lol..

 

I'm the same way..today has been nuts for me! I did luck into Two Lakes earlier, but my numbers today SUCK!

 

Marshmallow soft. If I had sent it he would not have even considered a reversal.

Haha same here, I would have been swearing left and right, but apparently I was one of the lucky ones

Turka Turka, TiganMurdar, tmaa79, turkster88 and twillight,
What's wrong with posting them in the other thread? It'd be viewed by more people for a much longer time than sit on this thread that no one is going to look at tomorrow.

so Ana rejected me. -___-

 

I get what you mean but it's nice to mix things up in here now and then. Each post doesn't have to strictly be about current HITs. At least for me things like that get me into a better mood, which leads to making more money

 

Not sure if you have any say in how things are run on this site, but I think you shouldn't be able to view threads without having an account. Many forums are like this, and it would promote more people to contribute.

 

Many of the forums run like that are overrun with over-zealous assholes. =-D
