That makes sense. Like I said though, I dont monitor their quals, I had checked it when the subject of emailing WV about that specific qual had come up.
Did we land on a potentially new script idea here. "Check for change in qual numbers for specified requester" GENIUS!!!! (j/k)
Crowd surf came out with new guidelines I think today or yesterday. Got three rejections. I guess other people are getting rejections for the first time in months. I'm afraid this might be the way things will be from now on. I don't want to go back to surveys I get bored so fast ]: I was making good money ]: Did I mention I don't really enjoy surveys.
Oh wow. Good to know. I haven't worked on their HITs as much since the holidays. But sure enough, I just clicked over to their style guide and there are quite a few changes! Thanks for the heads up. Here is the link to the CrowdSurf style guide for anyone else who may need it.
Hm there was no ID verification or survey codes? Even though it opened in a new page. Still really easy Oh sorry tried to quote reply.. for the Simple Bra survey
I have their internal full-text editor qual. They did this because the editors were having to do complete rewrites instead of editing. The copy coming in was atrocious. If transcribers think their work is on auto-accept it comes in unusuable. I'm not trying to imply that it's justified to reject copy over minor errors, but it's definitely necessary to the business model. I got to the point where I wouldn't touch copy unless it was very clean, and I'm sure most of their other internal editors were doing the same. Editors make much less per media minute for editing than transcribing. I reasoned that if I was going to have to transcribe editing copy, I would just go back to transcribing pay, and returned to doing HITs. Since the changes, much fewer edits are needed and it has again become more profitable to edit (which was the point of awarding an internal qual). The logjam is clearing again and copy is getting edited.
I want to clarify my earlier post that the rejects are happening at the turk level. If a snippet editor has to make a significant change to the copy (ie spelling and style corrections), a reject kicks in. The snippet editor doesn't get paid extra for this, but they have to make that edit to protect their qual. This makes much better copy for the full-text editor, who is generally supposed to be splicing snippets, fixing punctuation and capitalization that result from the snips, and flagging the timestamps - not correcting spelling or reformatting to style. By the time it gets to me, it was accepted and paid work. In other words, I'm not responsible for giving out rejections. That said, I don't hate them. I don't get them when I transcribe, and I see a marked improvement in editing copy. I just wanted to be clear that I wasn't handing them out.
