    Thank you very much, this mass reject understandably scared me. I used mturk to buy medicines, pay my bills and pay for rent.
    Thank you for being so logical and prompt in responding.

    I dont see how it could be an error when it says poor quality. Seems to me they were hoping nobody spoke up.

    For those of you who rely on mturk, and can no longer do any decent HITs, you can only keep working.
    Crowdsource has HITs with no qualifications, and Rob Tally requires and 85%
    I was not able to do the HITs, so I can't help you guys with contacting Amazon or the requester, but if you need some HITs or advice, feel free to ask me.

    Mine doesn't say that. It says "This was in the example as a night example".

    Although to your point, I agree, which is why I would keep calling until these are actually flipped back.

    Just did that 45 min face recognition and I'm pretty sure I got subliminally programmed for some monkey overthrow. I want a banana now.

    Name, I'm a worker on mturk, yada yada
    Ask their criteria for poor quality work/whatever your rejections said on them.
    Ask about day and night photos.
    Ask what would constitute grounds for a mass reject.
    Note the amount of time your rejections happened in.
    If an unreasonable amount of time (IE less than a minute.) bring that shit up
    Point out how it is damned near impossible for a quality review of work can be done in so little time
    Humanize yourself (I did this by saying who I was and what I use the money on mTurk for.)

    Crowdflower has a LOT of those sentiment HITs up right now, I can't do them but if you can, they have no quals...(which makes it confusing as to why I can't do them)

    If anybody is able to do this, you could set up a bot to send thousands of emails to the requester. I DO NOT advocate this, as it is spam, but it could help you get a point across.

    Had to call 3 times and send 5 emails pleading and begging like some kind of servant. But he said he is going to reverse them. Ill update if he does. Says it will take up to an hour.

    Praying I don't get mass rejected and those who did, get theirs reversed. Lets cross our fingers yall. How bout this, if we don't get mass rejected/get it reversed, we all donate 5-10% of the earnings from this requester to any charity of your choice?
