    I see a easy batch that I want to do but the requester has a turkopticon of 2 in everything. I did enough already to put me just under a 95% approved rate I I get mass rejected. I really want to do them all until they are gone. If I don't I am going to curse myself if the ones I've done are approved but I am uncomfortable with the risk. I am just started turking so my total hits are still under three hundred. It could take me more than a week to recover from a mass reject.

    Should I be afraid? Would you go for it if you were me?

    What was the requester? For now, I would stop doing HITs from them and wait and see.

    You don't have enough of a buffer to mess around with it too much right now.

    If your approval rating drops too low Amazon can and will suspend your account. So it's up to you to decide if you want to risk that or not. Personally I am way too cautious when Turking but whatever lol It's just the way I am.

    The requester is MSM IT. Right now if all I have already done get rejected I can get back to over 95% approved in under a day. I know I would be safer to wait but I got bills over due.

    I hope I just started turking during the worse time of the year for it and the hits are going to start getting better over the rest of the week. Because if it is going to be like this all the time it is going to be hard for me to make a living like this.

    MSM IT is kind of random rejectors, dont try them as large batch (you can't trust them)
    As Turkalicious says, amazon is suspending accounts with bad approval ratings, so better not try them right now ؛‎)‎

    I wouldn't, but I tend toward cowardice.

    I am very glad I did not do more of those. A third of the hits I did for them just got rejected. With this I have gone from 99.5% approved hits to 98.2%.
