    I can't tell you anything about what the banks going to ask because I prefer not to get in debt with the bank. I work within my means so I don't have to worry about a "loan" or being in debt to the bank, nor explaining anything to the bank. If I need $5,000.00 worth of equipment, a zero turn mower, or an areator, I'm going to pay for it cash and use cash as a negotiating power with the dealership rather than have to deal with answering questions to a bank or negotiating "interest" rates and how much extra I'm going to pay the bank. My mom started a "franchise" on the side of her job, with a 150k bank loan and three years later she's still answering to the bank. I'm not taking that route. That's why I chose to get an education (which is paid in cash), and save money during my school months for my equipment, parts, spare parts, and anything and everything I need, which will be paid in (cash) without answering to the bank, nor answering questions to the bank. I have to worry enough about answering to Uncle Sam, but not a bank. ;)

    Sure, rejects don't matter in your case, unless some requester gets tired of mediocre work in general and decides to hard-block anyone who screwed up more than a couple of their HITs. Get a couple hard-blocks, and your mturk account gets suspended. Then you have no access to the turk money, and if you get banned, anything in your mturk account gets wiped out. So it's not really so much of an issue but screwing around can reduce your ability to get beer money on mturk.

    Or the bank might as what a rejection is and why you don't capitalize I on your application. ;)

    I just did a piece of a speech by JFK that sounded like it took place during the Cuban Missle Crisis. Cool.

    It only takes screwing up on a few batches to get a few hardblocks and a suspension. If you're doing nickel HITs but just dabbling in them without reading the instructions thoroughly, why bother? 2 minutes of reading instructions before working on a batch for even half an hour is a relatively trivial time investment.

    the original post was meant in jest but it's good to know that night crew folk can be as humorless and petty as day crew.

    99.9% acceptance rate and 7,000 hits has not a thing to do with getting hard-blocks as he stated. Amazon could care less if you had 1,000,000,000 hits and a 100.00% acceptance rate. If you get three hard-blocks, just like baseball and strikeouts, you're done. That is unless, you're hard blocks fall all within a particular time span of each other.

    Why do you do this weird thing where you assume everyone is talking to you?

    Further, no one has forgotten that your account got suspended and you started a new one, soooo maybe your way doesn't really work that well, amirite?

    I'm not "night" and "day" crew. I make money all day and night, for obvious reasons stated above. ;)
