    No, it wasn't that one I know, but I don't remember the exact one it was.

    Will do. It'll be interesting if it turns out associated with something that's been going on lately.

    No, I have wondered about it. I have had issues getting quals. Not their fault, just I was off of turking for a good while and now don't remember how to get them. If that makes sense.

    I was just wondering if we had that in common because I have been working on those mostly. I haven't done many other hits over the last 2-ish weeks. except I did some noah's, and some surveys but not a lot.

    I thought I had done some noah's about a week and a half or 2 weeks ago. but I'm not sure, it could have been a week further back than that. I have been asleep sometimes in the early morning hours and awake and turking other early mornings. I haven't seen any noah's since then.

    you could filter hits on mturk to include ones you don't have quals for. then click the button to get the qual. I haven't tried in a long time but that's a way I used to pick up quals sometimes. other times I would do some hits, like 10-100, of different batches. I got some unfair rejections that stuck, but I also got some closed quals that way. and then there is qualifye.

    I have done that, however clicking on the get qual button, it either says you'll get it in 5 minutes or they have contacted the requester and nothing ever happens.

    I was getting some good quals by doing the batch sampling thing last year. but now there aren't as many batches. :thinkingface: so you do all surveys then?

    As far as doing them and getting rejected... When I started turking a looong time ago, I was rejected quite a bit. At this point I am just trying to get my acceptance rate to 99% again. I was at 96% a few years ago and now I'm up to 98.7%. I still have about 1,000 HITs to go for that and I don't want to mess it up. Which that rejection earlier hurt because I have been trying so hard to get it up.

    same thing happened to me!!! but for me, that was sooooo long ago, like idk even know when, maybe 2009. but yeah right now I have 10,840 rejections. don't worry your approval rate will go back up too and you will succeed on mturk.

    I hope they overturn that but even if they don't you can get it back up there.

    I hope so too, that's why earlier I asked if anyone had any success getting them overturned...

    Yes, I have in the pasted, a lot of requesters do not realize it hurts us. But it's easy to get it up again.

    @turker I think it's interesting that I started turking in 2008, which is when I got my rejections, and these forums and Turkopticon didn't exist. It's nice to know there are others doing the same thing. I joined the forums just a few months ago, it's nice to meet you guys.. I don't feel so all alone anymore. :emoji_relaxed:
