    This mass reject thing should not happen to otherwise good workers. Are you planning on contacting Amazon?

    Especially on the BS 2/3 rule. How is this a good measure of the work? IDK, a lot of requesters don't do a lot to prevent themselves from seeming like total jackasses between asinine approval systems and slave wages.

    Did anyone get an email after doing the Arron Phillips Select websites that appeal to you at a glance HIT? He sent me one asking me to sign up for some other website, which is like mturk but the survey pay better and faster.

    I'm still waiting on my first reject from them. I know it will come... 350 rejects would destroy me!

    I really wish some one here had a contact with them and could get them to participate here so we would have an open line of communication with them. I do them a dozen or so at a time and have been lucky... It would be different if I had 100k approvals - I'd knock 'em out and the hell with 350 rejections - but right now I don't have the luxury, That's why I say - don't do more than you are comfortable with.

    So far I've made 43.76 and still got several bonuses that came with some hits I've not counted toward that. I'm about to call it a night.

    I got one. It looks like, at least according to my email, that one needs a webcam though. Bad news for me.

    I've noticed the Catherine HITs have been going WAY slower since she added the Zip Code part

    Exactly why I only did about 20 of them. If I went wild with them, I'd probably be in the same boat as Happy Fish.

    If it is so good, why are they using MTurk? I don't have time for another website.

    Eh, pretty low earning day :p been a slacker. $5-6, but god knows how long some of these surveys take to approve, right?

    Seriously, me too LOL! I guess you've broken the 1k barrier? Are you doing heavy amount of transcriptions or something?
