Hey (folks), I've got what may be the final update with the whole Amazon thing that took place last night and today.

He gave me forms of proof of his identity. I pestered him in a few different ways about his authenticity, and everything he told me matches up with what I have and could find. I emailed the Amazon email he gave me as a way to further test the authenticity and he, again, proved it was he. I asked what his intentions were with contacting me out of the blue and he says he wants to be more involved with the MTurk community to help build morale. So with that said, I figure you should know who this person is. And as an aside, I've got an email from him that I'm just going to copy the text from, because this forum hates when I post images for some reason.

The man is Sourabh Miglani, Head of Business Operations for MTurk.

He seems to be suggesting he's currently only interested in helping with suspensions, but I do have hope that he will return at some point and answer my questions about throttling, defenses against unfair rejections, and maybe even the "how get masters" question, even though I intended that as a bit of a joke. He didn't answer any of them (yet).

I don't know about you, but I found this to be a really cool experience. Good to see someone from the company that cares about the Worker. Certainly is one of the few times I've witnessed it in my 5ish years on this platform.

Edit: because of his willingness to help with the suspension process, I will most likely add his email address to the thread publicly, at least some time in the future. Hopefully having him will remove having to email multiple different people at once.

Edit 2: I might end up putting this on the MTurk sub at some point as well. Maybe even TH.

I think my favorite attention check is the one that asks if you've ever had a fatal heart attack.
Got one the other day that asked if I had ever been permanently brain dead. I think it was one that had so many attention checks at the start I thought I had already started the survey :eek:

Careful who you make fun of, their similarly named counterpart may wind up being the Head of Business Operations on a crowdsourcing site you scrape for pennies on.
I didn't make fun of anyone. I was very careful not to say that the guy I worked with was a bit of a jackass.

I'm in the Midwest, do I need to drive or fly...either works for me.
Fly or a long drive. Actually I'll just ship them to you. Try no to screw them up more than I would. Pick em up in about 18 years.
