Hi everyone, I'm really bummed because I did 34 hits for Omid Davoudi and he rejected every one of them! This is how they must have felt way back when the stock market crashed. It plummeted my approval rate to 73% and my rejection rate to 26%. I basically can't do anything for anyone and if I'm understanding the stats correctly it will take over 450,000 approved hits just to function on here again. I wrote to the requester but have not heard anything back and I also disputed one of the rejections asking if I can redo them. I'm trying to figure out how to review them but I'm still in my 10 day period of training or whatever it's called. Where do I go from here, what do I do? Thanks for your time and any hints, tips or advice you can give Joy
Look for safe requesters with no history of rejection and build up your numbers. MLDataLabeler is a good place to start. 34 rejections isn't something that will kill your account, you can dig your way out of this. I had something similar happen in my early days of turking.
Thank you, that makes me feel better. And thank you to whoever moved me to the correct category I couldn't figure out how to do it
Yeah he rejected mine too so don't feel bad. I knew better is my thing LOLi know wayyy better than to do those HITS I stay away from those but like always I do it anyways lol one of those things. And I am no way shape or form being arrogant or anything like that because when I make a mistake I'm the first to admit it. But the thing is I knew all my answers were correct. They were. 100%. I think the Requester is just a tool. But take the advice given to you about looking for safe requesters and don't try to rush everything all at once. Take your time. It's important to do that.
What I do if it's a new mturker i'm working with i only do 1 or 2 and submit to see if they reject or not. Some I truly feel reject so they don't have to pay you. If that is the case they aren't going to respond to you. Unfortunately contacting Mturk to complain is a total waste of time. Just keep building and the volume of good surveys done will eventually overcome the negative but you have to be careful though.
