Fuck beans. I just caught the McDermott HIT. Thank God, Krishna, YHWH, Buddha, Coyote that my appointment isn't until 4pm.

Pros:
They do disclose the bonus you will receive at the end (they mention it pays within 3 days)
A bit repetitive but not bad if you like musical tasks

Cons:
Most of pay is a bonus
Pages of single bubbles, so a good idea to increase zoom.

straight forward (except for one question)

short timer and there's a question in there that seems to read like an attention check, but no instruction within the survey how to answer, so fingers crossed this doesn't get rejected.

@Kerfuffle I broke my vow. I did another McDermott and this time, it wasn't a White Noise flashback one.

Hi, all, somewhat of a lurker here, I don't turk that much, but today got an email saying "your account has been flagged for allowing others to use or share your account." Which is odd considering my dashboard showing the last 7 weeks averages less than 50 hits a week, earnings over that period total about $150. If it takes more than one person to do that I'm in bad shape, kwim? Suggestions? I'm not blocked yet, it said " if you continue this prohibited activity, your account will be terminated without further warning."

My son applied for an mturk account in his name about two months ago (lives here, so same ip address) but hasn't been accepted yet, so I don't think that could be it.

Somewhat befuddled, but c'est la vie, thankfully it's (obviously!) not a major source of income.

That's actually probably it. I'd message them back with every piece of info you have showing you're two different people, and also mention it to their twitter team (twitter is actually people, and not just auto-responding bot scripts) Show you're two turkers. Start the process now to get past the lag their dismal "customer service" has.
