    The default is 3 days, like 90% of HITs will approve in that timeframe so it's honestly not worth much.

    The old default AA was 8hrs when we could see AA.. Folks would wait for a batch that was sitting up til late at night, mass submit scam it, then have it approve before the requester woke up in the morning

    i got it, all hits should start masters, and if they suck masters should be able to let them be released to plebs.

    This will likely sound naive, but I can't help but wonder why people would but their worker accounts in jeopardy to scam a few batches.
    I mean even if it was stolen/scam accounts or something, wouldn't the account be worth more than the batch?

    I think the people who have full-on scam in their hearts are more interested in the immediate money than the possibility of long-term money

    Lost their account over $7 worth of scamming A9s.. AN AMAZON REQUESTER

    The level of stupidity to scam an AMAZON REQUESTER on AMAZON mechanical turk pretty much shows that there are no bounds to the level of dumbassery when it comes to this platform.

    Barcodes is another prime example.. Amazon requester, requires masters, well known for immediate account suspensions for scamming their tasks

    And yet, every single time they come around, a few days later "OMG I GOT SUSPENDED UNFAIRLY" threads

    I had a full minute and a half of hardy guffaws at this one...

    What's even better is the fact that they'd admitted to being a scammy piece of shit human being in another thread a couple hours before
