Kevin Dodds - Not able to accept Hits
Hello All,
I did 18 Hits of this requester (Locate the official URL of a specific company) and when I tried accepting the 19th, this message popped up :
"You cannot work on this hit.
Oops... It seems that our records suggest you are not allowed to work on this HIT. Please choose the other available campaign and Happy Turking! You can find our main campaign at mturk.com (click to open)"
What is this message about ?
This HIT was well paid and I was looking for more HITs from this requester today... What could be the reason ? Friends help...

Don't feel bad -- I only know this because I suck at them too.

One more thing - don't ever think that all people are same...
Contact Kevin Dodds and ask about it. Then he may tell you how bad your quality rating fell down to do this particular HIT. These HITs are approved and rated by an automatic system. And your ratings would sure go down if you entered an answer different from system known, no matter if it was right or wrong. Your high quality work with other HITs have nothing to do with this system. There is no limited number HITs you can do. You can do as much as possible till your rating fall down.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

I take your words... Shall ask the requester about why it is so and whether my quality was poor... Anyway, thanks for your words...
I've done about a dozen of these HITs so far and what I've been doing is including messages in their comments box about things like the company has changed locations, the location given is only a branch office, the company name is wrong, etc. I mean, that's the point of having actual people working on these HITs, is to apply a little human intelligence to the task, isn't it?
Edit: Whoops. Looks like I've run afoul of the automated grading system, myself. Whenever I try to accept a new HIT, it just idiotically proclaims to me:
You cannot work on this hit.
Oops... It seems that our records suggest you are not allowed to work on this HIT. Please choose the other available campaign and Happy Turking! You can find our main campaign at mturk.com (click to open)
So, it seems like my idea about applying a little human intelligence to the task didn't turn out too well for me. Oh, well.

Wrong. Contact the requester -- that's what I did, and that's what everyone else here did when they got that message, and they got the same info. If your quality doesn't match what they believe is true, then you get kicked off. End of story.
I do find it funny though that EVERYONE always says "I do good work, etc, etc". I've never once seen somebody say that they do poor quality work... Maybe sometimes we're not very good at accurately judging ourselves.
It's nothing with the quality of any turker but just that his programmed system is wrong. He must have programmed it like if a turker submits more than 4 or 5 N/A then it means that he is not sincere in his work and kick him out but actually there was no URL available and the turker has sincerely selected N/A. I recently got an email from him upgrading my rating to 80 to work on his select hits but by the time I tried to work on his select hits they were gone. Piranha turkers.
