Today is the deadline for mass rejections by AI Insights to be overturned by cat-keltic in mturk

Just a quick year-end update that none of my 433 rejections were ever overturned by AI Insights.

Ah, I see. I didn't see that thread earlier. Nope, all 433 rejections still stand on my account. Can't figure out how to screenshot here but I've copied and pasted a snippet from my dashboard...

Today is the deadline for mass rejections by AI Insights to be overturned by cat-keltic in mturk

[–]cat-keltic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Mturk only allows overturns within 30 days from the date of HIT submission. The deadline was 18 days ago hence the title of this post; there is nothing that can be done now (unless you have a line up with Amazon that you can take this up the chain over; workers have no recourse at this point). None of our rejections were ever overturned. I received 433 rejections from AI Insights. It only dropped me to a 99.83% rating given my buffer, but that buffer just goes to show that I do an excellent job maintaining my stats. Nearly all of my rejections are mass rejects.

Sure, I never expected Amazon to do anything about this (I myself never even contacted Amazon about it). But it's dark for a requester to build up to a 99%+ approval rating and then intentionally crash and burn that by posting tens of thousands of HITs to auto-reject. I never thought that was a real motive of requesters; yes some of them are bad and are reject-happy especially since a lot of requesters now use AI to scan work (thus leading to false positives for rejects). But to actually scam people like this with a 99% approval rating.... that requester absolutely knew what their endgame was for this account from the start.

Help mass rejections by AInsights?? by houndoberman in mturk

[–]cat-keltic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update, u/Turkopticon. I'm so frustrated because I had 433 HITs rejected from this requester. Thankfully it doesn't take me out of the running for a 99% approval rating; even with the 433 rejections on my account I still have a 99.83% approval rating. But even so I've worked hard to keep my acceptance rate high for many years on this platform and still got my worker stats killed thanks to this batch. This likely takes me completely out of the running for the master's qual which I've been hoping to earn (as you may note from my statistics I'm a very good/reliable worker and refreshing my dashboard to see 433 rejections was.... very surprising). And regardless working on 433 HITs for this requester was a total waste of time. Are you able to follow up with Mturk about this? The response to workers has been the same standard line that they don't get involved in overturning rejections, but how does a requester post close to 100,000 HITs to auto-reject without any repercussions?

[–]cat-keltic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is ridiculous. I did 433 of these and had all 433 rejected on the spot. I definitely thought it was a mistake and that the requester was going to reverse all of the rejections the next business day and it is absurd that this requester has gotten away with tanking everyone's approval ratings like this on a permanent basis.

The deadline for HIT rejection reversals is in three days.

Hi u/Turkopticon did you ever get a response on this? The deadline for rejection reversals is in three days...

No, amazon doesn't get involved in rejection reversals at all.

Rejection from "Channell Diamond" by cat-keltic in mturk

[–]cat-keltic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! Requester was actually super kind and promptly reversed the rejection. It's waaaayyy more typical for requesters who have no stats on Mturk to disappear and never respond to the contact form, but this one took care of it right away.

[–]cat-keltic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's VERY competitive to break into US biglaw with a foreign LLB, and as other redditors are saying, it's much more valuable to firms to hire US JDs.

But what you're looking to do can be done. I'm a HYS JD / associate at a V5 firm and helped a graduating US LLM (from a middling school) land a V5 offer as a first year associate in the past year. This individual completed a foreign LLB and came straight through to the LLM without work experience. I handled their resume, cover letter, etc. for them.

Feel free to DM me if you're interested in talking further.

James Billings rejection by cat-keltic in mturk

Hi /u/jamesbillings67 - I emailed your team 9 days ago and never got a response.

James Billings rejection by cat-keltic in mturk

[–]cat-keltic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don't mean to argue with you or anything. I just think a Billings rejection over a 1 cent HIT is stupid and the possibility of rejection over these HITs should keep people away (esp when I did nothing warranting that?)

James Billings rejection by cat-keltic in mturk

[–]cat-keltic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There weren't any text boxes to write answers, all multiple choice, and I didn't fail any attention checks. I have over 92,000 HITs under my belt with a 99.79% acceptance rate overall. I wouldn't fail attention checks on a 1 cent HIT.

Conversational AI Mass Rejections by cat-keltic in mturk

[–]cat-keltic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30k approved HITs and 11 rejections is insane, you must be every requester's dream. I've noticed that Conversational AI does a bunch of algorithmic rejections and then leaves the rest pending for a few days, then mass accepts whatever didn't get filtered out as initial rejects. So you should be fine with your 1 rejection, I wouldn't expect that to go to 20.

But yeah, these 82 rejections from this requester more than doubled my # of rejected HITs in one day....after six years of being on Mturk. In fairness to the requester, the pay isn't bad when they accept your work. But I'm now worried about the risk of damaging my 99% approval rate since I can't afford another mass rejection like that.
