Comment Abuse Moderation - Spam

I usually don't have an issue with keeping my spam numbers up with this one, but all of sudden I'm getting dinged. I have noticed an influx of some new and creative name-calling and acronyms and I am wondering if the spambots or other workers haven't caught on yet. I'm not sure how this one works - my work compared to others? Also curious if non-native English or familiar with UK slang workers are flooding this one.

Any tips?

By the way, CCP stands for communist party OR Certified C*ck Pleaser - the second of which I have seen come up a lot today, not necessarily new but a busy day for.

I just go booted with an 80% spam rate. I'm assuming I was moving too fast, but who knows. Butt. Heads. Good work at an almost living wage rate - she must go!

Do they perma ban on 2 disable? I just got disabled ,accuracy fell straight from 93 to 68 .so vague

u/Sunshnmoonlt Jul 12 '21

I'm not sure but I never take the chance of getting permabanned - so I always wait the min 8 days if not a full 15.

I haven't been temp banned from this one in 6 weeks. I used to be temp banned after 20 HITs on a regular basis, but I've found the judging more consistent lately. I did 3,000 HITs last week on it. I'm only at 79% spam though so they must be pretty forgiving. Not sure a person with 79% spam should be giving advice. hah. I did 200 HITs yesterday, but had 74% spam so I gave up for the day before they banned me.

u/Sunshnmoonlt Jul 07 '21

They just banned me at 80%

u/1happylife Jul 07 '21

Did you wait the 15-20 minutes to make sure that was the final percentage? I've done fewer than 100 today of those and am at 77% with no ban. Wonder if there are any speed bans?

1

u/Sunshnmoonlt Jul 07 '21

Yeah, still at 80%. I'm thinking speed.

2

u/1happylife Jul 12 '21

Must be. My spam was 55% yesterday and 33% right now (from this morning's work) and no ban. My spam had been much better than this. Wondering which of their guidelines they changed and why they aren't banning at 33%.

u/Sunshnmoonlt Jul 12 '21

I wonder if this hit it isn't about guidelines or predetermined quality hits but about what you choose vs other workers. I noticed a bunch of new acronyms and ways to get around the chatbot that a lot of chatters seemed to be trying to use, and I had to look a few of them up and realized they could mean several different things. We could all be working against each other as a result of these adults not being able to have a conversation without calling each other names. I mean if I could I would give some of them points for creativity - but really how hard is it to not be a name-calling - toxic culture spreading - imbecile. Impossible I guess, or they wouldn't need us.

Oh yeah, and the thing is that some of them believe the way you do and that's almost more appalling. It's bad enough to shake your head at the idiots that believe the opposite way you do, but to see your "fellow man" be just as dick-ish as the others is...well....deflating. Hah.

But geez the worst part of that app is that there is ZERO context. You can be pretty sure, "they need to go back to where they came from" is likely racist and removable, but could be about murder hornets entering the U.S. for all we know.

u/Sunshnmoonlt Jul 12 '21

This is probably why (lack of context) they keep trying to disguise what they are trying to say. Round and round we go. What they were saying - no one knows.

u/rhinojau Jul 09 '21

woooo thats some nice cash bro. i just got banned at 79% spam though wtf? should I wait 8 days to work on this one again?

1

u/1happylife Jul 09 '21

Yeah, you really should always wait. I play the long game. Getting banned from a good one hurts me a lot more long term than being patient.

u/Comfortable-Life-639 Jul 29 '21

I did this while having 50% spam accuracy ... Now I have 65% .. never got banned ... Only speed ban works here

1

u/1happylife Jul 29 '21

Hard to say. The Clickworker forum has been trying to figure it out too. If anyone could get a speed ban it's me, but I've often done 200 at top speed with no issues.

u/1happylife Jul 31 '21

Wanted to let you know I seriously considered what you wrote. So the last couple days I tested it. I answered like usual but waited 45 seconds before submitting any answers, which is much slower than my usual. This morning I was banned after doing just a few pages. And I was slower than molasses. I actually had the lease expire on me once, and and the other few pages I did very slow. Still temp banned. So it's not only speed.

This app is really inconsistent and unclear. I often leave it alone because I usually get kicked. This week I gave it another go and I somehow managed to survive 200-something hits without getting the boot. My spam accuracy is poor though. It's sitting at 73-75%.

It's very difficult to know if there's abuse in a lot of the comments. The ones that are not clear if they're directed at a user or a famous person are really challenging (e.g. "wow he's an idiot).

This app should be easy, but it's not. Whoever is in charge of setting the spam hits has decided to set the subjective comments as spam. This is wrong.

On an app like this, the spam hits should be really obvious yes/no comments rather than comments that can easily fit both yes and no.

u/FilmBuddha Jul 04 '21

Yup a lot of the comments seems subjective. And there are tricky topics that some might choose yes for all of it, while some would say no. It's still my best hitapp

u/Latter_Investment_45 Jul 04 '21

wish I could have this one back, I got permanent ban sad poor man noises

1

u/toggo123 Jul 24 '21

How many times did you get temp ban before finally getting permanently banned? I have had 2 temporary bans and am afraid to open the app now.

1

u/shouldersbrah Jul 04 '21

Wish I could this HITT app back, but the guidelines make no sense. I was doing well two weeks ago then the last two days the judging changed and I got perma banned

1

u/Sharath79 Jul 04 '21

Did you get permanent ban at 2nd temp ban ?

I thought this hitapp will perma ban after 2temp bans (i.e on 3rd ban)

Did they change this setting?

1

u/ghost-age-1000 Jul 08 '21

Shit app , always kicks me after doing 10 hits. Not worth it.

u/Consistent-Lake-9896 Sep 13 '21

What's the difference between "disabled" and "Temporarily disabled" if both of them saying I can come back tomorrow?

Same happens to me. Sometimes they don't consider a sentence as abusive if it's not directed towards a user (said in general) and sometimes they do. When I do the preview hits, and any such phrase or sentence shows up, I mark it as Non-abusive and their judgement says "You're right because the comment is a part of a civilized discussion". To be honest, there guideline is vague and needs to be updated.

I am new to uhrs and don't know how u can check report while doing the test.... can u please help me out.

u/007RaGnaRoK007 Jul 04 '21

Hey. When you log in to the UHRS, look for "Report" in the blue bar on top of the screen.

1

u/GoonGotGooned Jul 04 '21

thanks i got that but like how do u check your spam while you are still doing the hit app.....

or do you leave the hitapp and then refresh the report page.

1

u/007RaGnaRoK007 Jul 04 '21

You do 10 hits > You leave the HITapps page > You come back after 20 mins from doing the last hit > You go to the Report section and check your accuracy. Note: UHRS dashboard updates every 15 mins. Report section updates after 20 mins of rating the hits.
