    this is ma 3rd time getting suspended.
    I hosted my survey link in 'http' would this be matter? Even tho Ive just collected their answers only? (it corresponds to exposure of private info?)

    If not, Ive posted similar 3 HITs over 48 hours... would this be considered as spamming? (It was academic survey!)

    Im tired of this kind of situation. Support team is hard to contact and they are usually stubborn as f*** (even in the reply to the inquiry they dont tell me whats wrong with me so that I cannot fix it...)

    It makes me feel as if they are bullying me cuz Im not an American citizen. I believe it might not be.

    Any idea?

    MTurk is pretty restrictive about doing business in foreign countries, usually following the main branch's business dealings.

    AFAIK this is the most up to date list of countries Requesters can join from: https://blog.mturk.com/mturk-is-now-available-to-requesters-from-43-countries-77d16e6a164e

    South Korea isn't on the list so it may very well be that they can't accept your business & suspend your account whenever they figure out where you're from. I'm not 100% sure though, I have absolutely no experienced working w/ reqs outside the US/EU personally, but it seems likely per the above link :(
