    Also maybe letting them know that as an Academic Requester, you didn't think they'd penalize you for answering questions incorrectly when you didn't know the correct answers. Tell the you aren't asking for a reversal of the ones you missed the AC check on, but the rest should be evaluated on their own.

    Honestly, with that many rejections, if they don't give it to you after asking nicely, I'd CC their IRB about it as well. There were zero instructions suggesting that they would be issuing rejections.

    What's BS is question 1 was not only subjective but completely obvious. Messaged them but of course, no response

    seriously...it's a trivia challenge, if you don't know the answers, you'd have to guess. And I would demand to know which specific hits I failed on, and how I failed them. I can't stand it when requestors send out form responses for BS rejections. If you're going to reject my work, you're going to give me my own damn reason.

    Question 1 was obvious for a IT response but lets be real they should have put a real screener in there and not some reject bullshit


    Also what the actual fuck I got some rejects from the bees.. I am so sorry that I linked them so many times guys.

    Are they part of a university? If so does anyone have the email to their IRB? If anyone does please PM me the link to it.

    I assume they're part of Stanford, but I don't have IRB info on-hand

    DONT. they are Stanford, not just some dude. Eventually they will understand their mistake and will reserve them. In the meantime, there is no reason to be that angry yelling guy.

    Contacting the IRB is the best way to get this shit cleared up.

    Do you happen to know what their IRB email is? We can calmly contact them through that and get shit cleared up... we need to pass it through PMs though (Actually we can make a PM group for this if we want)

    IRB doesn't always help.
    I can't remember which one it was, but one from last year gave me a lot of rejections for some "sentiment" task.
    and I contacted IRB, zero help.
    I know it was a Georgia Tech thing. And I even went to IRB since I live in Atlanta, no help.

    I don't think saying "You’re screwing me out of money for arbitrary reasons and that is unacceptable." is out of line...I can be angry without being threatening/swearing

    I honestly don't remember which arm of Stanford it was, but if someone else does, I could try to find a more targeted email. But the general one should point you in the right direction regardless.
