One dollar left till goal...

Good job! I'm 79.99 from goal.
But, I'm gonna start eventually. I figure I'll pull another all-nighter. My new headphones, mic and webcam should come tomorrow. So, I'm sure I'll be on all day tomorrow.

So.. show of hands; how many people think Amazon would suspend you for using that Stax thing? I've had 4 people PM me today about getting suspended, there's some discussion about Stax going on in the suspension thread, and someone on the subreddit got suspended today or yesterday and mentioned they were using Stax.

Don't install extensions just because you see it on reddit >_>

I need 69 cents, and that's not a euphemism.

From my understanding, its an extension that sorta provided the things MTS does, but also goes beyond that by offering a captcha auto-completion type thing (author claims to have fixed it) that went against Amazon's ToS and made basically anyone a Master.

Again, I'm not too clear on this, but I know 100% that the auto-completion feature was/is a thing.

Jelly Doughnut, Waffle and Falafel Market.
Nailed it! They have everything. As long as it's one of those 3 things.

I've always wanted to try a falafel. Haven't found any around these parts.

search the chrome web store. Based on what @Metallica just said and the fact that a bunch of people (from the reddit thread) were threatening to report it to amazon, I would not use it.

I don't do batches, so I don't get captchas anyway; I think they're now triggered by how many submissions per [time frame] you complete

I think it being on reddit like that is worse cause everyone can see in, including bot panic Amazon.

stax is when you set your dollar bills and change up on a table. “im making my money stax”

I can see why people installed it, I mean at first glance it looks pretty damn cool with all the stuff it can do.

But at the same time, fuck sakes people, quit installing shit like that when you know that what it is doing is going to put your ass in Amazon jail. (Or just installing something because someone else told you to, which I guess is a valid reason for newer people)

Awesome and thank you!

90% of the posts on MTC that contain the word "reddit" also contain some sort of drama. I wish there was a way to block, per post, based on keyword. Any extension that starts it's life, already going against AMT's TOS, the creators have already made the decision as to what kind of tool it's going to be. Anyone who installs it, has decided what kind of worker they're going to be. I agree with whatever Amazon decides for their fate.
