03/03 - Wonky Weather Forecasters Wednesday

uhhhhmmmm
Parlez-vous français ?

 

No apologies needed, frankly I'm a very happy person if my shit isn't the only thing broken lol.

 

Morning, just got a weird email from Amazon saying ,
"This is a warning to let you know that we have identified activity associated with your Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) Worker account that is in violation of the MTurk Participation Agreement. Specifically, your account has been flagged for failing to use your human intelligence and independent judgment to conscientiously complete HITs for Requesters, which violates Section 3(b) of the MTurk Participation Agreement."

Does anyone know what could have caused this? I haven't gotten mass rejected or really any rejections lately.

 

I turned off MTurk Suite extension and Queuebicle works fine now.

 

FWIW, I couldnt help but be curious and restart QBC and see if I would get issues but it still seems fine.

 

i kinda wonder if this is chalked up to mturk losing its mind this morning so far
maybe?

 

I hope so. It's very frustrating knowing i didn't do anything and to get accused for something like this.
(I still have my account by the way, it was just a warning.)
This was the second part of the email
"MTurk is a marketplace for completing tasks by exercising human intelligence. We take this seriously, so if you continue this prohibited activity to complete HITs in the future or otherwise fail to make a conscientious effort to provide complete and accurate responses for the HITs you submit, your account will be suspended without further warning."

The last time I saw that email like 500 people all got it at once lol

Can DM it to me please?

 

happy bday @NBadger

 

@ChrisTurk
I closed out Queb and had MTurk Suite off and everything works fine. I restarted browser, turned on the MTurk suite extension and I couldnt load Mturk web page got a error and the pop up for translation from French to English

Edited to add MTurk suite extension updated for me this morning

 

Can confirm its Mturk Suite. I havent been using it since I have QBC. Went and turned it on and it borked mturk after having no issues.

QBC appears to be running fine for me but I haven’t attempted a HIT yet. No more errors yet but I assume I will get one next time it tries to sync
