Wait what lol. What did I do? Is it because of 1.5 hours of sleep? That's all kewl, that's kinda mostly my fault, I just get carried away when I'm excited about doing something, so usually end up working way into the night and cucking my sleep. But thanks for the hug, I'll take it.

 

I just took a mass rejection. I can't even believe this happened it was not even my fault. "HUMACI" " Food ingredients labeling"

1. Due to numerous and inconsistent responses to almost all HITs, we are forced to reject all submissions and reassess the usage of the Mechanical Turk platform.Presumably due to automated systems, such as bots, a large number of responses appear to be random and unrelated to the requested ingredient. A partial manual review has confirmed this issue, but the automatic evaluation system is unable to distinguish genuine responses from random ones due to the complexity of the task assigned to workers in the HITs, compelling us to reject all responses.The task will be revised, and the decision to publish it on the platform will be reassessed at a later time.
   

 

You can fill out this form (courtesy of @Fearless Turtle) and hope they can get someone at MTurk to care enough to do something about this (I'd say highly unlikely, but who knows) - https://blog.turkopticon.net/?page_id=727

You can also try to contact the requester directly and tell them that this is unacceptable and hurts those workers who did the work in good faith, and also that it's requesters' responsibility to use appropriate quals (> 98% approval rate, > 1000 completed HITs (maybe even more these days), location EqualTo US (if they need native/fluent English speakers)) to filter out obvious bad actors. This is the person listed as co-founder of HUMACi - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aniedivyakanthi/

But ultimately at this stage of MTurk, I'd say your best defense against things like this is to just never do batches from new requesters (or at least research the requester, if possible, to make sure they seem legit), unless your numbers allow and/or you don't mind taking the risk.

Also, I keep seeing people report getting mass rejected by this requester, and yet not one of you reported the rejections through the system - https://turkerview.com/requesters/AGG6KWY35Z8GU-humaci

Now that I think about it, there are no reviews for that requester at all and it's been like 6-7 days now since they posted that batch? So I don't even think anyone can leave a review at this point, lmao. That's what happens when no one cares to review a new requester, I guess.

Make sure you email the requester your ID so they know to manually review your work.
