    I never put N/A. I leave all the fields blank. Put my validating link in the link spot and then write an explanation in the comment section. I have had all mine approved by doing this. Did you put N/A in all the empty squares? I do know that I have had about 20 where I had to do that, but I have to agree that 200 N/A does seem like a lot.

    I almost missed this. So if the course is not found or we can't access the schedule because it requires a login, return them and don't submit them with an explanation?

    Ever notice how lol or \lol/ looks like a drowning man? Yeah, I hope I do get them reversed/get paid. There's a fat water bill that needs paying.

    Hard as a motherf... or so Google tells me.
    When I click the TO for the requester I see the original name they had, and I vaguely remember that requester mass rejecting and then claiming it was accidental.

    If you look in his TO there have been cases of people being accidentally blocked by him and the blocks were lifted. Email him about it.

    Screw that, I'm not spending time looking up courses and then just returning the HIT, I'm getting paid for my time.

    Willer Lab has two HITs in case no one has posted those.

    I guess so. When they asked how they could avoid this issue with other legitimate workers i gave them a few ideas, but even I'm a bit puzzled as to how they could weed those problematic HITs out. Because in the end it costs everyone time and money. If they built in some service where you could report the HIT to them for X reason, I can see it working; report and return.

    It is still the work we're doing for looking it up. When I can't find it, I usually spent more time on the HIT than when I can find it.
    If that is what they want, then they should say so in their HIT.

    EDIT: do they know by doing that, our return rate goes up?? ;)

    Just the first field and then went to the source. A few people told me N/A was fine, it may have been until now which some changes they made. Some of the schools repeated each other over and over again in quick successions, so I only had to flip a single category for spring 2013 to get the data it asked for, and would take less than a minute in some cases. I can presume the system thought I was cheating since no system is perfect.

    I feel this may have been problematic. I don't submit n/a's unless I'm sure it's not offered, not being able to log in to the system is a skip/return. I don't know if it's offered or not, I just don't have the tools to find out.

    But on that note, do they really want us to just return ones with courses not offered? I'm actually doing the work and finding out it's not offered, it seems rather unfair to not be compensated for that.

    Once you set yourself up with a few colleges don't deviate. It makes it easier to find stuff.

    Was the problem that you put N/A or that you had an excessive amount of N.A's?

    I'm not gonna change the way I do Rubin HITs based on what someone in this thread claims they got in an email, no offense wonka. I've done thousands of them with not one rejection and I've always put "N/A See Comment" in the first name of the first instructor. Then leave the link and a comment on why. If they want to change the way the HIT is done then they need to communicate that to workers directly.

    whoa what were you doing? I did 500 on the last batch and around 50 have approved with no rejections yet. I might not even touch the new batch yet.

    Slee makes me nervous. I've heard from others as well about mass rejects from him.
