I had a HIT rejected from this requester today. This is my only rejection since I've joined. They claim that I missed a quality control question, which I do not believe. I noticed on page one where they had the quality control questions and made sure that I paid attention to every detail while completing the survey. It was for 30 cents.
Their reviews on TO indicate that they are known to reject honest work. An hour ago another person, on a different website, also reported that their HIT was rejected for the same reason. I looked at the HIT and noticed that it doesn't have a location restriction. I would avoid any survey that isn't restricted to just US residents, or is restricted to CA/GB/US. University researchers usually want data from people who speak fluent English, or fit into a certain demographic, and they will put appropriate restrictions on the HIT so they can collect useful data. Putting a survey up for more than a few cents and then making it available worldwide seems like an invitation for scammers to submit junk information. I wouldn't be surprised if they were looking at the aggregated data and thought everybody was a scammer and just decided to reject every HIT. I doubt that you missed the QC question, it's just a poorly set up HIT.
I did the hit a month ago and it was approved. Was it a HIT about a hypothetical situation where if you choose option A, X number of person die and if you choose option B, Y number of people die? They have stated that you can't do it more than once. Have you by any chance done their HIT before?
I got it approved...U must have not paid complete attention...They put very geniune queries to make sure the person had read all instructions and questions
Oh my goodness gracious me.... No location restriction? The ignorant, unwashed hordes will come rushing in, spreading dark diseases and skewed data. What is the world coming to? Hey, did you know that there are native English speakers and/or intelligent, honest people all over the world? It was so kind of you to restrict serious scholarly research to the US, Canada and the UK. [sarcasm seriously intended]
I don't know how this thread got dredged up from the bowels of the archives. Didn't see the date until right now. The dredger is the same guy who's copy-pasting nonsense over in the transcription threads...
