I'm sorry. Sheesh, this looks scary. I don't use scripts in my hits either and that would've been what I thought, so this is kind of worrisome. I know they make mistakes though. If it were me, I'd want to write them back to ask what they are referring too and to let them know there's been a mistake. On the other hand, I would want less, rather than more attention. Isn't there a thread on here now about this kind of thing? I'm going to go look around...

Thanks I already wrote them back. I wonder how many others have gotten this message.

A few people recently have gotten this message. It seems that when you email, you get an unhelpful (but not surprising) canned response. Some people claim to have gotten the email and continued life as normal without any more issues, though.

Ugh. This is scary. Have you guys come up with a theory about who is getting these? Is there a weird amazon batch or something that everyone who has gotten this is doing?

I received the same message a few weeks ago, as did someone else, and it really sucks not knowing exactly why. I emailed them and they had their investigations team look into it, which basically said the same thing. I use Mturk Suite and Panda Crazy, although I realize now that I may have been on a VPN on my phone while logged into Mturk. If you haven’t used a VPN before, I honestly have no idea what it could’ve been that triggered the message.

I think it might be the Create simple sentences requester KitsText

 

[Nikoratos]

$82.46, somebody is at $122 and its bugging me.

I see you got it working.

 

[Amon]

I see you got it working.

Yeah I had to poke it a few times to wake it up. I'm B96 I don't know who any of the others are though.

i would download it but i feel like i would check it too often throughout the day. i just like to grind and see where the chips fall whenever im done turking for a day

 

[Nikoratos]

I don't either. I haven't turned it on the last few days. Chrome started to be a pain in the ass and I've been testing out Vivaldi. I haven't installed much in the way of scripts yet.

I usually only watch magic games so you got me beat on that one.

I think its nice to be able to gauge how I am doing in comparison even if its not the full community, I'm not sure if any of the real heavy hitters use it though. I'm into competitive things.

 

[Michele]

I'm tired. Good night and happy dreams.

I have wondered about that since people first started reporting this. Does anyone think it may be triggered by any requester who rejects a hit because of "bot like responses"? You know, the requester's that are new, or don't seem to have a clue....

I think this because the response from amazon seems canned and automatic, and then nothing happens.
