We're going to campaign for a reversal somehow, right? Or is that going to get stomped somehow.

That's not how you run a screener.

So, you stongly negatively impacted the Professional ratings of Turkers, some of whom are very conscientious about their Rejection ratios. I think it was reasonable to assume, after the Worker changeover, that there was some way you had of approving a $.10 bonus without handing out a Rejection. That turned out to not be the case.

I think you need to do something about reversing those Rejections, as giving out Rejections as a normal matter of course for HIT qualification is improper, and damaging to Worker reputations.

Thank you,

Some Dude

 

Finished snow blowing the frozen tundra I call my driveway can't wait to see how much more I'll need to do in the am with all the drifting that going on out there now. Hope everyone has a great night.

 

It took me forever but I had nothing else going on anyhow. Now to find 2.60 more and I will be at least 25 dollars ..

 

That richard fox hit already approved.

looks like a fairly annoying HIT

 

I'm about to return one if anyone is interested. Blank screen for me.

 

There is the typical batch of surveys per diem that pay almost $20. I'm not struggling past that, I have other things to drin... do.
