So, back in the fall there were a few requesters that came through and instead of assigning quals for work done, or whatever, they mass blocked. Well, some of them got removed but other didn't. I went on a walk about in mid december and another happened along with John Smith, or whoever the hell adn it pushed me over the edge. They suspended the account. Two months of arguing and deliberating back and forth and I was allowed to make a new account but they refused to give me my old one back.
Welcome back!

I was thinking about your post and wondering if you wouldn't mind writing up a brief guide on what to do if amazon cancels your account. This question comes up from time to time, and while there is no one answer for what to do..........your story, no matter how frustrating (for you) is also inspirational. So many get suspended and get stuck - feeling like there is no recourse. Admittedly, your story has it's own trajectory (the way the blocks came, etc), but I think it's no less valuable for someone facing a similar situation. If nothing else, they can see it is possible to negotiate with Amazon and - sometimes - get, well, some of what you wanted :wink:.
