    Two were from ScoutIt/Brelig (didn't know better at the time, to be honest)
    Last one was from some rando collecting LinkedIn pages. Gave him an address he didn't like and he rejected. Doing my research on requesters now, though!

    I would stay away from data collection and do mainly surveys and proven requesters when you're that low. - until you get your numbers up. Rejects can really screw you over when yo'ure low on nu,mbers

    If I had to guess I would say learning curve.

    @alomba87 check out using the TO script to help you quickly see a requester rating

    but believe some of them with a grain of salt. lots of bad reviews is more reliable than a single one bad.

    I really wish that you didn't have to use Internet Explorer to do that. My liveID login keeps expiring because I cbf to switch browsers to go see what's available there. :(

    Yep, been switching it up. Been doing a lot of "manual" stuff, even p9r's, just to inflate the #s.

    Have it installed now, so yes, thanks! More awareness is good.

    Thanks Ana. If the bad reviews are minimal and the task looks simple enough, I've still been doing them. If the bad reviews are just about pay, though, I've still been considering it to pump the numbers.

    I do not deserve my grinder tag for less than 1000 HITs in 7 days :rain:

    Your HIT activity for this week:
    - Number of HITs submitted: 894

    Approvals and payments that occurred this week:
    - Number of HITs approved: 694
    - Number of HITs rejected: 4
    - HIT reward earned: $230.31
    - Total Amount earned this week: $230.31

    4 rejections for scared money. I also started working 5 days instead of 7. But I'm going to need to be a lot more efficient and less easily distracted if I want to do better next week. Happy Sunday everyone :love:

    Thanks for the support, all. Gonna go pretend to rank up in Hearthstone and then get annoyed by all the shaman, and then play Heroes of the Storm against the AI. Happy Sunday!

    TO is a good resource. I do agree that the TO isn't everything but certainly if the TO has a lot of trash reviews its probably safe to say its a trash requester.

    If you find yourself needing help or not sure how to progress further or something needs explained, feel free to stop by the guides section. I wrote up a handful of guides I hope others will find helpful. Remember to use the search function if you have something further and if you still have an unanswered question about anything feel free to ask it. We're all here to help eachother :az:

    To be honest, I'd stay away from p9r's too. They reject randomly from what I've heard.

    Exactly.
    Especially if you see a "1 bomb" and it says "did 500 of these and rejected them all UNFAIR" type thing.
    Uncle Jesse got 1-bombed over a glitch before he even had a chance to fix it.
    When he did fix it, very few changed their review.

    I agree. I had 3 rejections very early on. Can still remember what for too - two p9r's and one for a survey I submitted without a code after getting screened out because I didn't realize I was supposed to return it.

    Before our fearless leader created the captcha clear. I would do some of the p9rs or whatever I would accept to clear a captcha to avoid a block and got a damn reject from p9r. Luckily, now we live in a much brighter world as our glorious leader from on high has provided for us... a way out of the darkness. Long Live @ChrisTurk ! Long May he reign!

    I took a look, but German rap is past my skill level... :ac:

    If she does, maybe you could confirm or deny those rumors of hermaphroditism... :eek:
