08/28 - Out of Order Wednesday

This is the exact opposite of the idea I had (until I forgot about it, sadly). I thought to name today's daily Perfectly Working Wednesday to mess with all the sad despondent turkers coming to the forum to see if they were the only ones having any issues.

 

Nah nah, it's okay. This is better. Gotta keep the image of us still being serious over here, and not just trolling and meme'ing 80% of the time.

 

*goes back to sleep*

 

Awhile ago I speculated that @AlexZ may in fact be someone else. I now believe that these theories may be true. Here is what we know...



Facts:

• The media has said that Russians are good at hacking.
  
  
• Alex posted this message in Russian yesterday.
  
  
  
  
• We have never seen these two in the same room.
  
  
  
• Alex made a chart showing the decline of TurkerView.
  
• Alex knows that Turkers come back to TurkerView when the site isn't working.

In conclusion, looks like mission accomplished AlexZ. Now please return Mturk back to working order!

 

sorry everyone looks like they broke the whole thing trying to fix those suspension

 

Mturk this week

 

yup. I've never seen it down for this long. has anyone else? like this is what I was going to do all day. I don't have any other plans other than taking care of my elderly parents. it's hard not knowing how to replan my day. I hope it comes back up soon so it doesn't ruin my whole day.

 

It's really lame Amazon / MTurk hasn't made a statement about this issue. I guess our only hope is Turkopticon.

 

This is exactly the level of communication I expect from Amazon

 

Mturk CS and Engineers working overtime (Actual Mturk Main Office Update)

 

So it being down is a good sign? It means they have people actually still working on this stuff?

Or is it done forever? All is lost? WE ARE DONE.

@AWSSupport

Apologies for the frustration caused. Our MTurk team is aware of the issue and working closely to resolve the matter. Please continue to keep an eye on your email for updates. ^KS
