Did four of his last night for fun, had submitted before and had only two rejections. This time all four were rejected, no information provided. I will not be working for this guy again. His loss. I have my bachelor's in English.
I have submitted about 20 of his hits over roughly a 2 week period and never had any rejections. Maybe he's looking for a particular style?
I'm a former college writing tutor... if he's looking for a particular style he can mention so in the HIT.
I did get a response, in effect he said he received "blank forms" meaning there was nothing for him to approve or reject... has anybody heard of that happening before? Is it plausible?
Plausible? Well, yeah, weird problems are possible, but we have no way to know what really happened. (Another requester said I hadn't entered certain details in a simple HIT, but I clearly remembered working on each of those specific details, so I don't know whether or how they didn't go through when I submitted the HIT. Weird stuff happens.)
I emailed him the links in my browser history to prove it, but we'll see what happens. He says in an email he got 50 such HITs and rejected them all... told him it sounds like a problem on his end.
I would email the guy before leaving him negative feedback, at the VERY LEAST you'll know that he's a requester that cares/doesn't care about his workers. I work for maybe 5 or 6 of "the quick summary" requestors - and out of all of them there is only 1 person that you need to be weary of: Corey B. The rest of them have decent approval rates and communicate with their workers. toodles.
Hey this had once happened to me..Its no mistake of yours or the requester...Its an error on Amazons part tht sometimes your text just appears blank to the requester It once happened to me tht i just gave a try on a 0.00$ hit where i had to go thru a fundraising website and then give my opinion on why I wud or wudnt donate to the cause.My HIT was rejected.When i enquired they said my response came blank.I said em i actually had filled it up when later they told me it was an error on part of Mturk and they workin with Amazon to rectify.Later she gave me a 0.25$ bonus and also a 0.50$ as compensation too by providing a unique HIT for me with a code tht was mailed to me.My rejection also got reversed in a couple of days time. So i thnk u shud humbly mail the requester and ask what had actually happened and request em to enquire with the Mturk team.I hop this helps you.Check the thread i had created below http://mturkforum.com/showthread.ph...tually-some-very-good-requesters-in-the-town-!!
The requester has posted an inquiry about the blank HIT data. (No replies yet.) https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=100823&tstart=0
