    Quick hits 10-15 seconds each Low pay 2 cents per hit.. But there easy when theres nothing else to do on mturk ..

    Dosent Pay very fast Ive done about 1300 about 5 days ago so far only 300 have been approved. 1 rejected ( my own fault ) forgot to answer 1 of the 3 questions...

    Over all a good requester wish they paid faster but like i said fairly quick hits when theres nothing better to do.

    I was just coming here to ask if anyone had any experience with them. I did about 100 of them last night, all still pending. Good to hear that you haven't had any rejection problems. Right now I've only got about 700 total hits submitted, so I'd hate to get a ton of rejections from them and kill my approval rate

    College-based requesters have been known to hand out rejections in the past, including mass rejections. I've seen it happen a couple of times over the last 4-5 years. If you can afford to take a hit to your approval rating, go for it, but if you can't, I'd only do a few just to make sure you don't sink your rating so low you'll never be able to recover it. :)

    ID be willing to stake my account on this being a good requestor.. As long as you do the hits like your supposed to theres no reason you'll get an rejection from them :D

    Unless they decide to reject them all for whatever reason they want because they can do that. They really don't have a reason to reject work, ya know. There have been times when requesters ran a really big batch of hits and then decided that something in them was messed up and did a mass rejection (ANDY K being one of those requesters but he did get them reversed, I think) for everyone involved, but that's a chance you take doing work through Mturk. I'm not willing to stake my account or approval rating on an unknown requester and end up getting burned. I do hope though that this is a good person and you do get paid. I'm just too cautious to do any work by an unknown, but that's just me. I've never had a block, not even a survey block, or had my account suspended in nearly 5 years, so I'll keep doing what I'm doing :)

    Well they doo have good ratings on turkopticon and like i mentioned before they have approved around 300 of mine so far with only 1 rejection i deserved :D

    there not a FAST approver but they are a solid one imho.


    EDIT:

    There are SOME bad reviews up on turk imo there junk reviews a few are pissy cause there slow to pay.. a cpl cuz there submit button was broken..there is a few talks of mass rejections.. i dunno sounds like they did sloppy work imo..

    They really do take a long time to pay. It was 5 days ago that I submitted around 100 of their HITs, and all are still pending. I'd just like to see that they are all going to be approved before I do more.

    Well I am glad I didn't do too many of these because mine are still sitting after 4 days. Hopefully they get approved.. I'd prefer to keep my 99% approval if at all possible.

    Well it took 5 days, but the HITs I did for this requester are finally starting to approve. I submitted 100, so far in the past few minutes 20 have been approved with no rejections. And they still have HITs up... think I'll go churn out another couple hundred.

    These HITs look simple and trustworthy, but am I the only one that doesn't get sound on any of them?

    No, there is no sound. I guess they are only interested in your reaction to them visually.

    I'm kind of in the same boat... I had around 20 approved, and still waiting on almost 80 of them. Verrrrry slow to approve.
