    I always feel this is dangerous to say. I feel it gives people a go ahead to submit anything, and it lowers the quality delivered to them. People get a lot more in a guessing mood instead of returning and submitted correct work.

    I don't think its too dangerous, because the risk of getting blocked by the requester for shitty work is still there, especially the company that runs the website.

    I've never had a rejection from a requester who's had "Amazon Requester Inc" in their name. However, I have seen Customer Interests, A9's and Rekog's all at different times reject people. They have control questions and you need to answer them correctly. That being said, I've never seen a "mass reject" from any of them. Only spot rejects, 1 here or there. I don't treat them any different than any other requester though. I still do my best effort and don't let my #'s for them reach above my 99% worst case scenario.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Alt + Esc cycles through every window you have active, but you would need to close other windows you're not using, or have them stored in tabs on the windows you are using.

    You can also do some WinActivate stuff using something like this
    Code:
    Numpad1:: ;Set Active window as Win1
WinGet, WinID, ID, A
Win1 = ahk_id %WinID%
return
Numpad2:: ;Set Active window as Win2
WinGet, WinID, ID, A
Win2 = ahk_id %WinID%
return
WinActivate, %Win1% ;Use this in your AHK code to activate the Win1 you stored with Numpad1 above, use %Win2% for what you stored with Numpad2, and so on

    Same boat. 25 of my 26 of my rejections were a9 or CI just randomly here and there.

    That's what I've heard...sometimes, I'm not sure if it's worth it to do the 'easy ones.'
