    Yes, she still does the 0.1 screener, but if you qualify, she gives you another hit to keep open while doing the game, so it's not $120 bonus on 0.1 hit. It's just a hit that pays the game amount (I am not sure if it's still $120)

    Whichever mod did that,

    Everyone's on edge, but being confrontational in every single post is not the way to behave, it only ruins the day for others even more. Let's try to be respectful to each other, especially during times like this.

    Yes and find patience. It’s easy to circle jerk how incompetent Amazon looks from our end and that’s true otherwise we’d never even be in this situation, but none of us can see what they’re faced with right now.

    A lot of people are affected, and it’s valid to be emotional when it’s your wages that are on the line, but also things have happened since then. They can’t just revert back to a working state like it’s a save game file or something.

    Just found out I was suspended last night. I don't know when I actually got suspended. Mturk's been kinda dead for me so I've logged in about once a week for the last few month. Prolific's been way better for me. I did get an Mturk transfer on 8/24, though, so I figure my suspension was sometime between then and 9/1. I got not warning or email alerting me to the suspension. I'm glad I remembered this forum (I haven't been here often) b/c trying to get info on the Payments site or Mturk is impossible and always has been.

    I hope my batches repost again when mturk recovers. I hope they didn't take their work to a different platform.

    they might not have even noticed this whole thing at all

    Thanks so much! I sent an email to mturk and got a case number. I'll fill out that form, too.

    During my Maggie Bowers experience, I did ask about the previous bans and was told the issues were addressed. I had no issues and the HIT was pretty enjoyable.

    I had a 12 oz sirloin at Aubreys in Cleveland Tn and when I got home, the account block was partially removed.

    I can accept hits manually, but none of my pandas are working and the requesters have hits up.
