I'm shocked.

can you at least tell me no was winning the poll before you deleted it?

That is really perplexing since only one person had this requirement:
Requirements: Survivor Weekly RunnerUp Exists

But no ... it didn't mess anything up, ty for returning it.

no problem. I'm not sure exactly what this is for but i think you paying out a winner from survivor. didn't someone here lose their account for using mturk to pay for offsite work?

Ok @Krikket ... now this one

That's a pretty high dollar amount. I would be careful with this stuff. If you're using HITs to reward people for games played on here, Amazon could easily decide that you're paying them for work done off-site.

Why do you think that warning is there?

He posted the HIT on the forum. That was a forum post campaigning for votes. I actually had to cancel HIT Poster voting for that and start it over again the following week. He won anyway.

I probably would have been really mad if the whole situation wasn't so ridiculously absurd.

Of all the things I've accomplished in my life, the "C to the J rule" is in my top 5 proudest easily.

Yes, temporarily.

Yes, temporarily.

yea, but the person she paid never got their account back, right @aveline ?

I like the MOTM voting thread that @jml put up later in that month.

 

[Starslip]

I like the MOTM voting thread that @jml put up later in that month.

I like that it only "may" result in disqualification

 

[ecko]

I'm hoping he didn't catch and return that 8.00 Jessica Hullman that popped at the same time

No i got that one too, but i am hanging on to it.

 

[aveline]

He did eventually. It just took like six months.

 

[Krikket]

He did, but it took a while. I don't want that happening again. Perhaps we'll figure out an alternative way to reward Survivor winners.

Well that's terrifying

BZ, post some more HITs or you get the claws.

 

[stuffalleysays]

oh, i get why you would want to go to the dealer on that car. I do work on my Aunts 03 325i and it's a nightmare.

I used to drive a mercedes roadster that I had to take to the European repair shop. F that noise, bought a used volvo that more people could work on after that. now I drive a chrysler.

BZ, post some more HITs or you get the claws.

idk why but those claws are unsettling.

That kitten is a fucking adorable little murder machine.

Meet a lykoi aka werewolf kitty!

THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE HANDS AND THAT'S CREEPY

but I also want to hug it and be its friend.

 

[aveline]

Well that's terrifying

It was actually a really weird situation with him. His Mturk account had been suspended, but his Payments account was not. Like he could still access his Payments account and transfer money out of it and stuff while he couldn't even log on to Mturk (Generally, when you get suspended from Mturk, you get suspended from Payments, too.) But he did get the Mturk people to give him his account back like a month later.

Then, the very next day, Amazon suspended his Payments account. When he contacted Amazon Payments they claimed that his Mturk account had never been un-suspended. So he had to spend like another 5 to 6 months trying to convince AP to un-suspend him, not Mturk, and AP customer support is apparently just as bad as Mturk's. After talking to a million people that all basically told him to fuck off, he finally got through to someone that was like, "Oh, you're not really suspended. You just need to verify your personal info and you're good to go."
