1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    I saw there were a bunch of random suspensions yesterday. Any updates on that?

    There is a problem with your Amazon Mechanical Turk account
    This account has been suspended by the Amazon Mechanical Turk team.

    ---------------

    I'm still suspended this morning. last time this happened to me and a lot of other people, it seemed like it took a month of emailing and waiting and trying to figure out what was going on to fix it. an earlier time the same year also suspended me and a bunch of other people. I just want it to freaking work and I don't want to have to email them about these problems anymore. I had this happen once in the last year on prolific too and there were a bunch of other people at the same time. I have account suspension fatigue.

    I recall last time this happened, we had to get some help from Turkopticon.

    yeah they were really really helpful. the turtle person was so helpful too, and there was a whole different group who helped a lot too. I guess I will have to see if I can do anything about mine this weekend. I have too much going on today and tomorrow.

    I'm still here - haven't been suspended (yet!) *crosses fingers*

    It's likely a glitch since a similar thing happened last year

    Keep getting asked to use and have accounts with all these different platforms I purposefully do not engage with. I am not a COOL enough person.

    Yeah, wasn't it like a slow, creeping death with a few more accounts suspended each day? :behindsofa:

    Not suspended, but nothing happening.
    Is this how it ends?

    The first step for assistance with account issues is to contact MTurk directly at the Mechanical Turk Customer Support Contact page or mturk-account-appeals@amazon.com with the email address registered to your account.

    If you still haven't heard from them after a week of doing so, please let us know (with the date you contacted them and your Case ID number), and we will reach out to our Amazon contact about your case.

    Amazon requires this step before they'll re-investigate an account for us.

    If you fill out our account suspension form https://blog.turkopticon.net/?page_id=653
