There's a requester who has sent an email 4 times today for some hit with a really stupid payment scheme. How about simply paying a fair amount upfront :facepalm:
Sometimes they try payment schemes like that to try to encourage workers to actually follow through and do part 2, part 3, etc. or set up different schemes to see which one gets workers to come back vs. which ones don't work for that purpose.

A lot of them start coming up with stupid payment schemes when they get fucked over by workers... then learn what kind of a ridiculous shit storm handing out rejections and blocks turns into. The stupid payment schemes are their answer to that.
I do agree often times rejections turn many workers into idiots (or they were prior) but there has been many idiot requesters out there too. Both sets of folks need to get their shit together.

Check if you qual
Am I correct in assuming that the "Total approved HITs is 100" qual means that you have to have exactly 100 hits approved, no more, no less? Seems like an error on the requesters part, no?
