Pros
Cons
Rejected for entering initials for my coworker's name instead of a full name. Requester responded to my email with:"I'm sorry to hear that your HIT was rejected. As you can imagine, we get lots of respondents who type in gibberish or copy and paste words from the question into the response box (both of which are signs of unusable data, which increases the cost of our research). When such a hit is rejected, these respondents claim that the random letters that they typed in were accurate (two or three letters are initials, a single letter is a nickname, more than three letters were a filler code to protect someone's identity, etc.). Of course, that doesn't mean that you are not telling the truth in this case. The problem is that I have no way of differentiating your data from data submitted by a respondent who is lying, so I have to set a clear rule: You must follow the instructions, which say to enter a first name (and entering a first name shouldn't raise any privacy concerns--or you could even make up a first name, and I would have to approve it).
Again, I'm sorry to reject your HIT, but the prevalence of respondents on MTurk who are trying to cheat the system forces me to apply simple and clear rules to everyone. "
When I submitted more detail about my coworker, I was told my provided demographics were inconsistent, and it seems the requester wasn't open to reversing the rejection based on my explanation or the violation of his implicit "rule", anyway.
Advice to Requester
If you are going to reject anything but a standard first name, it would be more fair and transparent to tell workers this upfront.

Pros

Underpaid. Guessing some will be a little faster, but with the timed page, this is probably about as fast as it can be done and some people may take a minute longer.1 minute of timed writing (100 characters) that felt longer.
Lots of bubles.
Marking pay as low because this should pay a bit better imo for all that there is to do.
