The Hall of Fame/Shame has been repeatedly been abused lately by many that don’t understand its purpose. It is to be used only for rating a requester or reporting one’s experience with a requester, not for posts like the following:
- "How do you do these HITs?"
- “This requester just posted HITs!”
- “Can someone explain to me how to...”
- "Me too!" or "Thanks!" or "Ditto!"
- Simply copying the Turkopticon rating"
- Giving info on how to do the HITs
Posts like those do not help in rating a requester. They will be removed and repeat offenders will be penalized. The reason we have to adhere to this rule is to keep the information inside the Hall of Fame/Shame useful to everyone. The posts topics above add nothing useful to help judge a requester's worth. Please limit your posts to facts about the requester.
Things like the following are permitted:
- "What can I do about rejections I received?"
- "Well, it sounds like you were rejected because..."
- "I contacted the requester and they said..."
- "My rejections were reversed, here's how you can get yours reversed, too..."
- “All of my hits were rejected”
- “I found this requester easy to contact and they have helped me by explaining how to do the hits posted”
- “The requester never responded to my attempts to contact them”
- “The requester was able to reverse my rejections”
- "The pay is great for the work required"
- "The instructions are unclear and difficult to understand"
- "They did not pay the bonus promised"
- "I don't see any other threads about this requester, are they okay to work for?"
- "These HITs pay too little for the work required, so I passed"
Use this simple guide to determine if a post belongs in the Hall of Fame/Shame. If it can help somebody to judge a requester, it is okay to post.
