08/30 - Fixing Friday

@malysa I don't think there is. That would be a neat script to have though, I can't even get past the Altsuss exclusions before giving up.

 

no worries, just got them! I love researchers that give a shit!!! and my bonus appeared immediately! If suspended people have reqs that they work with regularly, reach out and explain the situation.

 

That reminds me: I need to get more duct tape. Duct tape will cure anything.

 

I just got my first rejection in over 5 years by Purdue Behavior Medicine. I don't understand what could be rejected if I am answering questions about my cat. Have any of you had a successful Rejection Overturn Request?

 

Just got rejected for the same HIT. I did that one about 5 days ago, not sure why they waited so long to reject it. But it was around the same time my account got suspended so I wasn’t sure if they were related…

 

I hope you guys write reviews. I don't want to do that hit.

 

Yes, I am about to write a review right now.

 

This can be pretty risky. It can look like money laundering and flag your account as well as the requester's account.

 

Oh wow! I just got a $5 bonus!

yeah @malysa I really wouldn't do that unless it was worth possibly losing my mturk account

 

Just found out my roommate got suspended today also, they're still passing them out. It feels systematic, it's crazy there is still no response.

 

Hello peoples. Have a good weekend.

 

honestly, I don't give a shit. They are the main reason I even come back here and I need it to pay end of month bills. It'll probably only be about $20 but every little drop helps right now.

 

Today is day 6 of being suspended and still no resolution from Amazon. So far the only responses I’ve received are: “you’ve sent us too many messages about this issue” and “it’s not an Mturk issue, it’s an amazon payments problem.” Amazon Payments has yet to reply to me though.

 

is there anyone in seattle who can just go there and ask? I mean if you are dressed like chewbacca A. they won't know who you are and B. they will know you are from mturk

Amazon corporate office address (supposedly)
440 Terry Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109

 

I did send them a professionally written inquiry into the HIT and for them to let me know what went wrong so I could be more careful in the future..
