I think their quals are really weird and don't ever improve. I did 500 hits of theirs or so in the past week. None of my scores improved in any category. 1 dropped slightly. It makes me think that eventually you will lose your qual, unless you're nonstop perfect, since there is no way to improve your scores, just decrease them.

I dunno if I can talk about this or not, but here goes: I fully believe that the RnR qual system is automated. They combat the need to monitor the HITs closely by planting certain "knowns" into their HITs/batches. For the Adult content HITs it comes in the form of those images that you end up seeing over and over again. They're basically ACs. If you mistag too many of them you lose the qual. I believe with the "identify unrelated images" HITs they actually devote an entire HIT to a quality check... that is to say, one out of every ~20 HITs is actually just a planted check that gets "scored". It's either that or some nightmareish automated majority rules system.
I have lost the "Quality score" qualification twice now, and each time it came back after a few hours. I don't know why or really care, but that one does improve.
Title: Play a brief game and answer questions Requester: Adam Waytz [A1RPEITCVSBUQJ] (TO) TO Ratings: ***** 4.54 Communicativity ***** 4.34 Generosity ***** 4.85 Fairness ***** 4.76 Promptness Number of Reviews: 134 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Play a brief game and answer questions - pays immediately Reward: $0.41 Time Allotted: 1 hour 30 minutes Qualifications: HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 95, Location is US Hit available: ~1 in case we are still doing writing warnings, here's one that deserves one.
I have a working theory that it may be speed related. I notice my numbers going through the roof(well, 3 to 7 in a matter of 40ish hits) just by using a script and doing them quickly. Mind you this is only a guess but he did say he was going to find a way to filter scripts out if I remember correctly.
That's stupid. The hits are not worth it without a script. They shouldnt give a flying **** how we do the hits just that we do them right. Then again, RnR USED to have items preselected until people started to give them the shaft so they took that off. who knows? Maybe some people use the script and give them a shaft now too. But anyway hits arent worth it without the script.

That sounds very plausible. Seems like it may be both. Speed raises the SPAM qual and the various checks drop the Quality qual. I'm almost certain that the "Identify whether these images are adult." HITs do have a built in quality check, otherwise, why would the same 30-40 flaggable images appear over and over, all day, every day?
The $2 one is still up so this one might be different. You should be able to do it unless it states otherwise. Try it out.
I'm pretty sure it's automated. I was doing a batch of their HITs (I wish I could remember what they were) on a Sunday when, with no warning, between completing one HIT and starting another I lost the qualification. I have no idea why and, true to their form, they ignored my request for clarification.

rnr spam can't be due to scripts. I have done the watermark hits with a script and got them to about 2-3 a minute and I still have a working qual for them since the last batch.
Yep, but most of us keep a spam email address on hand for HITs like this. It took me about 10 minutes and for $2.50 I'll deal with it. EDIT: And it's already approved.
