1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    Ugh I can handle rejections when I know they are deserved but I get so aggravated by rejections that are the requester's fault. I received a rejection and this was the message from the requester "Wrong format. I will republish." ugh!

    Wow, Panda Crazy FTW. I'm at 44 Z's and climbing, which probably wouldn't have happened if I were just using TM. Add in that $2 morals HIT and today may cover yesterday's 0 HIT day.

    Morning fabulous people! The Bird is exhausted, every loud noise turns into a murderer when I'm alone in the house at night. Of course, both my dogs decided to start growling out the side door at about 4 am and I freaked myself out. :coffee:

    When they do that, I explain to them that rejection negatively affect our quality rate and as a result, can have serious effects on our ability to get other work. A lot of them genuinely don't know. If you say that politely and then offer an alternative (they can overturn the rejection and you'll do the new HITs for free, for example) AND send the link with directions on how to reverse a rejection, a good amount of them will.

    Best to just have a form letter drawn up and send it out when necessary.


    edit: also! not assuming you don't know any of this, but posting for anyone who might not.

    Thank you for that. I had sent them a nice letter but did not have the link on how to reverse rejections. I emailed the requester yesterday and have not heard back. I will send them the other instructions now.
