    I don't know how you can do them so fast. Plus, despite the fact that one runs across an entertaining tweet now and then, oh dear God the boredom... I keep having to take breaks because my mind starts wandering.

    Did I say wandering? I meant running away, like it's staging a prison break.

    Don't get me wrong; I love this guy. I'm grateful for him. But I did twenty-five bucks worth today, and despite many breaks for real world work, chores, dog care, meals, and 'Wallander,' it still turned into an agonizing slog. I cannot imagine forcing myself to do four times that many in a single day. He'd have to be holding a gun on me.

    I wish I could do more. I really liked them. Thought the stupidity of twitter makes me go "whaaaat?!"

    Still, I could've done them for hours, and mine are all approved from last night now.

    It is a bit rough at times throughout the day. When it gets that way I just get away from the computer for an hour then jump right back into it.

    Please be careful - my sister's qualification has been revoked for missing 2 out of 80. Hopefully she doesnt get blocked from him. Has anyone else had this issue with this requestor? She has 99.4 rating with 15,000 hits.

    No.. I've done quite a few of his and none have been rejected. Hopefully that was a fluke! Was there a reason for the rejections?

    No problems...

    She noticed the mistake and was going to email him about it, but I guess she waited too long, about an hour or so, so please be aware that you have to pay close attention when doing these hits.

    My sister emailed him and he responded within minutes and they worked it out and she has been reinstated. But Please be careful with these hits. I have received 1 rejection so far and I have 1100 pending!!

    I don't think that is abnormal. We are human and will make a mistake once in a while. No need to be upset when that gets caught. It's when rejections that are not warranted happen that there is a problem.

    I second that, and it seems he's still trying to find what's best for his work to be completed and he's is very communicative. He seems very understanding as well. I'd trust him not to reject work that's not deemed for a rejection.

    Thanks everyone for the great discussions and helping maintain good results for me and fair evaluation of your submissions.

    I certainly understand that some people might have been working late and it can be easy to miss stuff. Please send me a message if you feel I've unfairly revoked a qual!

    Unfortunately, even though we're dealing with 98% 5000+ folks, there are still patterns to which submissions are looking more sloppy - it has helped my results to trim those people out.

    I think those turkers on forums like this one that are trying to work together and figure out how to provide the best results are not the bad apples.

    I know some may be concerned about the approval - since I'm being careful about providing everyone a reason for why some submissions AREN'T getting approved and want to explain the cases where qual has to be revoked, I'm a bit further behind than I'd like to be. But I really do appreciate your work and if it's a good honest effort I'm all on board for upholding my end.

    Please contact me if anything comes up or something doesn't seem fair!

    LOL are we allowed to post some of the funnier ones here, pbommanna? Going to finish about 100 of these tonight before bed. Hopefully you can take a quick look at them sometime and let me know if there's any problems. Thanks again!

    I hope this isn't against the rules or anything, but I figured we should share some of the Olympians that we've come across to be on the lookout for.

    Alex Morgan (women's soccer)
    Hope Solo (women's soccer)
    Megan Rapinoe (women's soccer)

    Those are the only ones I can remember. I wish I had thought of this while I was actually doing this HITs instead of a half hour later.
