01/27 - Worn-Out Wednesday

lesson learned, I will be tossing back the no code ones I guess from now on

 

why did you email them?

 

Hit Approval Rate was is not less than 100..

 

See I wish people would reserve messaging requester's for issues with their surveys and rejections... this is exactly why I can never seem to get a response for a rejection, cause people write them for no good reason all to often. sigh...rant over.

Am I crazy or isn't he saying the requester botched their quals and was requiring workers with shitty approval ratings?

 

nope you aren't crazy, that's correct.

 

wait, so you don't want him e-mail the requester to let them know they botched the qual? ? ? ?

 

Ok, then most assuredly, the requester appreciated the crap out of that email

75% approval rate workers deserve HITs too

Also I'm just meme'ing I think this is definitely funny & probably mostly just a language mixup/misunderstanding

 

if they want crappy workers, they want crappy workers.

All I wish for is a response from requesters to reply to messages regarding their unfair rejections, I am sick of spending time researching universities, tracking down students and contacting their IRB.

 

Actually, thinking about it, I bet that the requester would be more perplexed by the slow completion of the study because it's probably hard as hell to actually find accounts without 99% approval rate than the idea that they'd somehow submit "bad quality" responses tbh.. most people just eat some unfair rejections then quit, anyone plowing through with 95% approval rate probably 50/50 submits really fking good quality data because they're trying to fix their shit

 

No it's almost always a mistake. The dropdown on the requester UI is horrible lmao. There is almost NO WAY a researcher is ever attempting to recruit low quality workers unless it's one of the half a dozen known "meta" researchers.

Also use the rejection dispute system it'll save you some time

I just eat rejections and let the other peons do the e-mailing. I only e-mail if it's above $2 at this point because it's so frequent to get hit with one. I catch about 2 rejections a week on average from the volume of shit surveys I do. You get used to it. No need to stress over it. Let it flow.

 

Sorry I really shouldn't use this wording, "low approval rating" workers is probs better. It's p easy to eat some rejections early on and have a medicore 98% lol

SO RUDE. I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I HAVE A BADASS RATING.

 

HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 99 is the best qual to use.. it will still allow people with low rejections to accept hits.. and will allow for imperfect workers to accept hits..

 

Happy Wednesday, Forum
