This list is made for the U.S primarily only. Fully Trusted - These are ones I have personally done multiple HITS for and can attest they are valid quick and reliable. Accepted Hits - These are HITS that I have done at least one for and are most likely reliable or have only one study and such to be done. These generally pay better on average but are highly limited. Rejected But Valid - These are HITS that actually have a valid reason to reject and aren't clear scammers or anything of that nature. I will include reasons given for these. Scammers - They will reject you for no reason keep your work and more. Or they ask for personally identify info or money. Pending - These are ones who take FAR to long to approve or reject. These can be on the list for up to a week or more for the most part. They might be valid or not, but most likely aren't worth doing.

No problem. Eventually once I am no longer daily capped I am going to just do random singles due to having enough padding for rating to get a greater idea of what's valid and what's not on the site to add to the list.
Thanks for the great list. But I have got not good results from Redwood. They have got a bad method of auto approval that affected my submission and got rejected wrongly. So I am away from them. I contacted them and they apologized to me and given me some bonus. I got the bonus , but my approval rate went down... . So all balanced, I will not do their HITs anymore.. until they stop their auto approval methods...for checking the answers...
How many did they flag wrong for you and which ones? I only did roughly 10 of theirs that were all accepted for "Transcribe a Short Audio Clip (~10 seconds)" and "Review a short transcript(< 10 sec)". All got accepted although one of those was literally my own audio clip I was reviewing. They don't pay enough for me so I really don't bother with them anymore but I can easily see a online troll just flagging the audio translation wrong for no apparent reason on the review portion.
ProductRnR moved to trusted? How the heck? I could prove with screenshots they firts accept a lot, then suddenly reject in mass with no reason ("low acurracy" - supposedly, but no way) From the experience of many other workers here on forum and my personal ones, the conclusion is clear: Here you are their dirty practice: 1. Accept in masses in order to get your trust. 2. Keep your works to their benefits when you after submit another large bunch, and reject a lot to elude the payment.3 Never they bother to reply to anyone, treating us as slave on plantation!
I forgot to mention ClassifyAdimage act in the same manner, even worse. I'm talking here from my proper experience and turkopicon just confirm it.
And how it's possible that Reapter's good opinion about them?! Maybe he didn't yet submit the second bunch (lol)
Hey man, be aware it's a jungle out there! ProductRnR is a cheater maybe you are happy now because you did't yet submit another bunches of hits to them! Stay away from ProductRnR if you don't need working hard to repair your approval rate!
Thank you for sharing your experience! I have only been doing this for a couple of months now and I got scammed twice already. But ever since I got the Turkopticon and started visiting this forum and theirs, I'm doing okay. What's up with Tagasauris? I tried to do a hit by them and the photos I was supposed to tag were in German! Could that have anything to do with the fact that I'm bilingual and have done some translation jobs? Will they automatically assume I understand other languages that are not the two I speak? I've been baffled by this and have not dared to do their hits anymore, because I had to return the German ones. . .
