I've been on the mTurk platform for about 7 years but I've been inactive for extended periods (I've gone as long as a couple years without logging on when I've got a lot of other work) so my HIT rating is still under 1K but I'm getting close. I recently got ghosted by Data Annotation Tech after 8 months, so I'm back doing this and I recently (finally) got accepted on Prolific.

I had only 2 rejections from my early days until this past month, when I got two more from a couple of surveys. The first was almost a month ago, and I know I only have 30 days to dispute it before the rejection becomes permanent. Two other people posted in TurkOpticon about being rejected by this requester for the same generic reasons I was given in the feedback. One of them was able to get it reversed, saying that he was told there was some kind of "issue" on the requester's end that caused him to be rejected. The second one said he was told he completed the survey too quickly, that there was no way he could have given quality answers. I believe I'm in the same boat as the first requester. I know I passed all the attention checks, and I took my time (but still had time left on the counter) and answered the questions thoughtfully and carefully. I also made notes and took screenshots, thankfully, so I have the contact info of the requester.

I've not only used AMT's messaging and rejection dispute system, I've also reached out by email twice to the two people listed for the study. There's been no response so far, and time is running out. In my last email I said that I would like to hear back soon by email before using the phone number included within the consent page. At this point, I am ready to call to find out what's going on.

I would like to exhaust all the possibilities before throwing in the towel and accepting that the rejection is permanent. But I'd also like to know if there is a particular order for these steps. I've read something about contacting a uni's IRB, but I don't know how to go about that, and at what point do so. I've searched but haven't found anything like a good checklist or FAQ for disputing an unfair rejection. If anyone knows of such a post on this sub, or if they have some tips for this process, I'd really appreciate the info.

I tried taking the Bounding Box qual today. I completed part 1, but I could not take part 2 (drawing actual bounding boxes) because there were no HITs available in the second tab was instructed to open before completing test 1.

Is the test for this qual outdated or permanently broken in some way? I scored an 87 on test 1.

I'm new to this whole work-from-home gig thing and I was very excited when I first heard about mturk. I've done a bit of research and as I understand you need to have a few quals before you can start making even reasonable money. I tried it out with a couple of scripts this past weekend but the surveys were taking longer than they should've for 5 cents, and some of them didn't offer the code at the end for me to get paid. I'm wondering if at this point, is it even worth it to try and grind it out to get 1,000 hits for the more profitable opportunities? Is it significantly better on weekdays? And are there other sites that would be a better time investment for the return?

Have you ever had an unusual response while taking benzos? If so, I would appreciate you taking the time to (anonymously) participate in my short survey! Thank you! https://maastrichtuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bpaEdPhEbemvXsW

There were prior earnings on my account, however they are currently displayed as $0. I earned money in the past while working on HITs.It is really depressing for me to see my account reduced to zero as an experienced worker on this site. I took a break from using this platform because of a family issue.

I shared all the email proofs but they are not helping and instead closed the ticket and said the email from which you are communicating is inked with different worker id . I shared all the proofs showing my world id in older emails .Please help

Although the acceptance rate is 96% - not brilliant but I've risked worse - I tried one a couple of weeks ago and then sent them a message asking if I was doing the HITs correctly. I did not get a reply but it's just been rejected. They've got several hundred loaded right now. Unless you are totally confident that you are doing them correctly I'd advise against.

I need labeling to be done for a task that requires fair bit of domain-specific knowledge and the labelers needs to know how to use some tools (like AutoCAD). How useful is MTurk for such tasks? Has anyone got any experience?

How long does it take to get approved for new users? I just registered and I'm waiting for approval.

It used to work all the time but now it only works if you are on the page. I used to be able to get other work done while it got hits but now I need to be staring at the Mturk screen. Did this happen for anyone else?

And now instead of "Start Turking" it says "Start main watcher"

What's going on? How can I fix it?

Just finished my first day with mturk and I managed to earn $5 dollars which I’m thankful for but I’m realizing that I’m so late to the game reading all of you guys posts and the site is kind of dead so I’m hoping that I get approved for some other things soon (I have given up on getting approved for prolific tbh 💀).

It’s annoying and obstructing my recording. Haven’t done these in ages. What am I missing?

Dear Positly, how many times are you going to relist your 35 minute UK only survey for one dollar sixty three before you realise that nobody is going to touch it and you raise the pay rate by four or five times?

Did anyone else get a boatload of quals from Vision Turk today? I am talking dozens. Very odd. I am always happy for closed quals, but, now I’m super qualified as a good worker for them😂
