You remember this? https://mturkcrowd.com/threads/09-20-surreal-sunday.5356/page-3#post-1702127

Here's what requester has to say...

"Hello,

I am sorry but the MTurk system automatically deletes the rejected assignments and so decisions cannot be reversed.

As to your question - I know the survey has a limited minimum time, but the software also tracks the amount of time it took you to click on the selection and this time is recorded even if it takes you 20 seconds to click next. Assignments were rejected for responders whose average time was less than 3 seconds per question.

Anna Gabur, MA"

Let's assume I actually "sped through", I'd still have skim through to look out for AC, verify if the pattern of question has not change... There is no way I'd have done these in less than 3 seconds.
Obviously, she's that kinda requester to avoid.

In this HIT from yesterday I was initially rejected for this reason:

"Your work did not meet our standards"

Lottery Choices Studies
Answer a survey about your lottery preferences(~ 20 minutes)
$2.50

I sent a nicely worded email and received this reply:

Hi,

Thank you for your message. The automated message about standards that mTurk sends is not our doing, and we would change the wording or provide more detail in that automated message if we could (mTurk does not give us this opportunity). The instructions state that people who fail at least one attention and comprehension will not be approved. We initially rejected based on this.
However, It is our understanding that there may have been a problem with the survey or distribution software, which resulted in the survey being updated with a delay, so that some might have seen an earlier version of the survey. To recompense, we are approving all workers for this HIIT, and apologize for any inconvenience.

These are just emails that they receive and they are just copy/pasting them into here.
