    A lot of the time, you'll be doing either a earnings call/business presentation or a radio interview. In both cases, they will want the unnecessary stuff out of the transcript.

    Like if a sentence starts "That's important because.....well let's take a step back and look at the big picture" I'll erase everything up to "Let's take a step back"

    I think they only hand out rejections.

    That appears to be true. Is it worth putting in a complaint to Amazon about them?

    I did it around 3 hours ago, still pending. If I'm not mistaken, the auto-approval time is only 4 hours or so.

    Guess I'll try it. It says you have to provide feedback for a week, but it auto approves in 4 hours? What's going to stop me from uninstalling it after I get paid?

    I was wondering the same thing, but this app is so good that I am going to continue to use it.

    Technically, nothing, although I guess they could always block you.

    No idea. Someone else might have some input on that.

    Yeah, it actually is a really good extension if it works like it claims. Seems like a really good way to knock out spam you receive from registrations on various websites. Great idea!

    I've done one before on this same kind of extension and uninstalled it after it approved and nothing came from it.

    Off topic because it's low speed today: My kid is going ham, dancing to deadmau5 like a boss right now.

    I hate to be a downer, but the complaint will never get anywhere. The physical team in charge of mTurk is actually quite small, and they take weeks, if not months to resolve issues. There really isn't all too much that workers can do, which is unfortunate, but it's something you have to get used to.

    If your approval rating dropped dramatically, my recommendation is to find short, easy HITs and cancel them out statistically. If your rating barely dropped, shake it off, and move on. As upsetting as it is, it's not the end of the world. That was yesterday.

    My goal of 5 dollars that I gave myself today(only that low because of how dead it is) is finally looking realistic! :)

    Do any of you guys on here turk 7 days a week too? I never take a day off.
