    5000 approvals? Is that the next "mark" to shoot for? I haven't seen a whole lot of hits for above 1000.

    That's the highest mark I've seen, albeit it's rare. I'm a little more than halfway there.

    5,000 Approvals is a big milestone and the one I am up against right now. A lot of HITs that are good batch jobs require 5,000 approvals. 1,000 approvals get's you most things though.

    I have also seen HITs that require 15,000 and 20,000 - these were SWEET! batch jobs - but I am so far from there...

    Just keep your approval percentage up by checking TO and reading the instructions. Without a 99% approval rate it can be hard to get good HITs. Anything less than 95% is about catastrophic! If you go much less than that mTurk will cancel your account - although I'm not sure of the exact percentage they do that at or how it works.

    when i went to start working on the hits when i accepted it it said because of your work was poor we cant let you work on these any more. I work very hard to make sure everything is right so it upset me, i eamiled them and they said they will look in to it

    At my current average daily rate, I expect I will hit 20K approvals just before Thanksgiving.

    hmmm.... "they'll look into it". that's an automated computer response they sends to everyone when you contact them. Redwood hasn't responded to anyone since Jan, from what I've collected.
    And I'm sorry to inform you that the block is permanent. I also has one of those for their caption requirement hits. Don't care anymore. Just a penny hit. It's been there since the time I've started turking. It was my starting days and I didn't knew I have to return the hit when the image doesn't load. :( Poor me. I've emailed them tons of times with no good.

    But, I have access to transcription hits though. :)
